We
entered our last week today. I headed to the Senchi Ferry clinic and Rhonda
went to the New Akrade clinic. It was much busier at this clinic and felt more
welcoming today as they started off with all the patients and providers singing
and praying together, then discussed the process of checking in. We saw 26
patients in the 1st hour of opening. I helped do vitals while another man did
the intake paperwork. The check in process was complicated as the patients had
to go from station to station before they were seen by the nurse. Several
forgot their ID cards which show their folder number and this is what allows
the nurse to see their history. This clinic doesn't charge for the cards or
folders as the New Akrade clinic does. The practices and availability of services
between the two clinics are like night and day.
Rosemond
one of the cooks at the St.James guest house checked in today as she was still
quite sick and might have malaria, but she didn't have her card so they made
her wait a long time to check in as they allowed others to check in before her.
It would be easier to use the patients name rather than a number to make their
folders and that way they don't have to bring another card with them other than
their insurance card.
We
had my favorite meal today curry sauce over rice. Then napped until library
time. It was cooler today, but very humid so I was sweating a lot. The kids
were quieter than they have been in the past, but there were more of them
today. When we returned Cliff was gone, but Margret came with our dresses. Mine
were a little tight, but can easily be fixed so I ordered a few more items and
will have them before I leave.
