A job well done...

Well my time working in a medical capacity in a third world country has unfortunately come to an end. I learned a lot about medicine, the world, and myself over these last few weeks. We as a group experienced everything from tears of joy from a grateful patient to fear of a riot when we were unfortunately unable to see everyone in need. As I mentioned before this has definitely opened my eyes to what is really needed to help these people going forward, and whilst we may not have made the biggest change for them shile we were here we definitely laid the ground work and did the necessary data gathering needed to make a more permannet change in the future. A few of my fellow students will be spending the remainder of next week in Urubamba finishing off 8 weeks of hard work between the Case Western and Stony Brook medical students. If any of you ever want to get involved in helping us, or have any questions you´d like answered regarding this or pretty much everything don´t ever hesitate to call. And now onto some more adventures....
