Friday, March 2

Today was a normal clinic day. I again mostly shadowed Dr. Urrutia, but she let me see a few patients on my own. Again, the patient panel is mostly upper respiratory issues due to the wind blowing up incredible amounts of dust. Anyone who states they have a fever gets checked for malaria. One patient with prolonged fever gets sent to Leon for labwork to check for dengue fever.

Juan gives a talk at the local school regarding teenage pregnancy that he states went very well. We head back to Leon after work via the bus. As it is still early, we stop at a hotel with a pool to get some relaxation. Back in Leon, we had a few drinks and planned our hike to a volcano the following day.
