The Clinic At St. Joseph's

On Wednesday we returned to St. Joseph's of Arimethea at Jasmin, the church where the group worshipped on Sunday, for our second mobile clinic day.  While one never sees a buiding in the part of Haiti we visited without some evidence of earthquake damage, it seemed clear that St. Joseph's had undergone a great deal more structural damage than the Episcopal Mission at Gressier where we worked the previous day.  We had to put up a leanto shelter over some of the area where we worked to guard against rainfall. We were a bit better organized following our experience the day before.  Dr. Pezey decided we would be available to everyone who appeared for examination, regardless of the hour. We saw a total of 185 patients before shutting down. There was also a welcome conclusion to our day's work.  Our transportation today got us down the precarious hill that served as the first leg of our journey back to our guest quarters!  At last report, Pere Delicat was still searching for a spare tire for his Land Rover.
