Today we continued with “How to
Examine a Sick Person”. Dr. Buie explained several body systems including the
eye, kidneys, bladder, intestines, and a then demonstrated to the student how
to compete a neurological exam. When he taught the students about the
intestines, he had them listen to their bowel sounds with their new stethoscopes.
The youngest member of our class (the cook’s daughter) helped supervise all 21
Barefoot Doctor students as seen in the photo.
In the afternoon, Gayle Buie taught
the class about intestinal worms. Dr. Nilson interjected with a graphic video
about the removal of intestinal roundworm infestation. Yuck! They helped set up
and work with the audio response system, which will allow the teachers to receive
instant feedback on question they ask the students during lecture. The afternoon
concluded with the students practicing their technique for taking and recording
the blood pressure of patients. Their readings were checked for accuracy and
they all had very consistent findings.
Overall another successful day of
teaching.
