The Miracle of Birth Feb. 21, 2014

This morning was very enlightening for our students. For the first part of the day, Nurse Holly discussed asthma and breathing problems from her knowledge and personal experience. The students had lots of questions for her. Nurse Betty then discussed the birthing process and contraceptive measures, everything from abstinence to birth control. Some of our male students were shocked that we would discuss this with them, but Betty quickly explained to them that as Barefoot Doctors they needed to know what to do if they ever faced the situation of a woman giving birth. This did not make them much more comfortable, but helped them understand why they needed to learn about birthing and pregnancy.  After lunch, there was a photo op with the nurses and students as the nurses, Holly and Betty, were leaving that evening. The students took their third quiz before the end of the day. A good game of "Ta Pae", after class, ended another successful week.
