Ai-yi-yi...by 9:30 am the line was out the door in our little clinic...60-some women hoping to be seen/examined and/or treated before Las Americanas left their barrio... we ran our bootys off for hours.
At mid day a huge surprise... the midwife in the birthing center upstairs brought down a newly-born baby girl, rushed into my "exam room" (which is actually the OR/c-section room when PINCC is not here.) to suction the baby and clamp the cord and warm her up. Mother and baby doing fine (see photo above).
As we said our good-byes to our colleagues/trainees at Medisol Clinic, they treated us to Pisco Sours...a yuummy drink for which Peru is famous.
Had dinner in the "Latin Quarter"...Comidas tipicas at a jazzy little bistro across from our hotel before 3 of our group headed out to the airport.
Now for a good night's sleep before my 16-hr trek home :-/
Thanks for being here along the way,
Mai
