We finished up week 4 on Friday and said goodbye to Dr. David Brumwell and Cyril Thomas, PA. They did a great job and were a huge help to us and this program. The students enjoyed all the hands on activities. They really seem to learn best by doing things rather than book learning. We finished up Friday teaching them how to place foley catheters on male and female manikins. This is a relatively simple technique that will allow a bladder to empty if a patient is unable to urinate on their own. Then we said our good byes and of course a lot of picture taking at the end.
As usual, the instructors both had a profound experience through teaching in this program. They were touched by the students' passion and dedication to help others. We all hope and pray they will be able to return next year to contribute again. After that we headed straight for Burma! More on that trip later.
