The Angry Bull

People were running trampling others as they push themselves into our clinic rooms. I had no idea what was going on. I heard the people talking very rapidly saying somethin, somethin, somethin, toro. Then it hit me what they were saying. I hopped up on a seat and there it was. A huge bull that was not looking like it was having the happiest day. It was striking the ground and if smoke could come out of its ears it would have. It was directly in front of the school where I clinic site was and looked like it was getting ready to charge, hence, the swamp of people that piled into our rooms. A truck rounded the corner with a guy in the back and they were getting ready to rope the bull. This did not seem like a very bright idea because how well can a guy in a truck hold back a fierce bull? He went on doing the cowboy over the head swing as the bull was running towards the truck and just before it hit it viered of and ran down the road. The man with the rope misses, thank goodness, and our clinic went on. There was talk about the bull in the field below but it never bothered us again. This was an exciting and rememberable clinic experience.

The clinic that we did this week was always within aroun 20 minutes of km.38 so we stayed at home and headed out to our clinic every morning. After loading our pharmacy, glasses, and dental equipment, we were pretty full. Our bigest number was eleven and we all managed to fit. Don't worry we went moderatly slow.


On one of our slower days when we had a little extra time, tara and i started to learn how to give an IV. We went through all the steps of safety and putting it all together then it came down to practicing. Jenni lended me her hand which i stuck three times and then Dr came up with a bright idea to connect an IV tube to her arm and then we could poke that and get the feel of it. I will still be practicing more within these upcoming weeks before i poke a patient.

This was a really cute kid that was hanging around for three days. He would let me pick him up, turn him upside down, put his hat funny ways and pretty much have fun. He was so cute and always put a smile on my face.
