Twain Harte Family Dental Care's Blog: Day 7 3rd Clinic Day

Day 7 3rd Clinic Day

REAL TIME NOTE: Just returned from Malapaao. Quite primitive with no WiFi. We'll catch up with the blog tonight. Heading to Laoag tomorrow.

Dinner at Pastor Bert's. Patio dining, and a table of great choices.

Clinic today was about a 45 minute drive from our hotel in Bangued. We think it was in a small church, although more open-air then church. We set up at the “front”. Plenty of people were triaged for the Filipino doctor, the pharmacy and us. We ended up working till 5:30, seeing around 40 people and pulling about 90 teeth. I hit my personal best for the trip today, removing 13 teeth on one lucky lady!

We all wearing our "Septodont" bandannas. This is a multi-national supplier

of dental anesthetics, based in Europe. Gloria sent them a request

for donated anesthetic and needles. They were VERY generous

with their donation, and included bandannas that they asked us to wear for

a picture that they could put on their Facebook page!!

Lunch was special We walked a block down the road to a church member’s house. Routine rice, veggies, chicken and mango. But, we all agreed, the best chicken we have had since we came to the Philippines, and some in our group said it was the best chicken they have ever had! Fried and seasoned just right! Pollo Loco look out.

Kids always watching, always too close.

Meanwhile, the students back at the school were painting, making and installing a basketball backboard, building bookshelves for the library and painting a ‘four-square’ for the playground. Real busy and real hot, probably our hottest day so far.
