26Oct 2012 5th clinic day–Siem Reap

Fifth and final day.  Clinic was in the Siem Reap New Life Church.  Smaller group, shorter hours.  A baptism in the afternoon.  Gloria and I are still struggling with the amount of decay and infections.  Especially with the children.  Decay is rampant, chronic and really an epidemic.   I sat down with the physicians in the evening and shared my concerns.  They wouldn’t ignore other epidemic diseases, I encouraged them not to ignore dental disease as well.

No more pictures of Gloria and I bent over patients pulling teeth!  A few pictures of our team though.

These are the All Stars!  Gloria and I with Ligar, our triage nurse, Lisa, our sterile tech, and Nara, our assistant and translator.  They were the best!
