Clinic photos

Waiting room for test results
You don't need a MRI or thousands of dollars of tests to tell that this kid is sick.
Many kids but when they are less than 3 months I worry.
It's common to see 6-10 kids waiting to be seen.I'm convinced that an axillary temp is higher than a rectal or oral.  They come wrapped in blankets and 3 layers of clothes.
Sometimes it gets noisy with all the kids.  When it does, I tell Ruth to have all the moms get out their boobs and quiet them down.

Hard at work.  Notice the top shelf, it has 5 L bottles of tylenol and decongestant that we fill with old bottles brought back from previous pts.  That old amox bottle is now a paracetamol bottle.  Nothing like sharing the germs around.  There was a recent outbreak of mumps (6 pts), chicken pox (4 pts), and one case of measles that I saw.  I don't remember these since I was a kid.
Beautiful setting for the clinic
