Team Rehab Day 4

Day 4 The roosters pleasantly woke us up early and we headed off to the clinic. The four of us and about 8 others moved all boxes and equipment from downstairs to upstairs in preparation for opening day at the MTI Advanage Program Clinic! There were people waiting outside when we arrived in the morning. We treated about 15 patients with diagnoses including: displaced humeral fracture, amputations, malingering, CVA, spastic paraplegia of unknown etiology, pediatric developmental delay, and varying orthopedic injuries.  The clinic's atmosphere can be described as organized chaos, teamwork mentality, and very thankful and kind patients.  Next we visited some of June's past patients, went to Centre Lumiere for local shopping, tried picking mangoes with the local kids by throwing rocks at trees, and videotaped Greg killing a massive spider in the girls' shower at Seed (so manly-checkout video on fb). Needless to say it was a very fulfilling day. We can't wait for our rooster wake-up call and see where tomorrow takes us.
