Our Set Up

There are two medical doctors: Dr. Scott, and Dr. Don—a Haitian doctor that joined us all week. Three nurses: Jacky, Tony, and Amanda—a recent nursing graduate And one dentist: Dr. John. Amanda has been working in Haiti with Dr. Don since October 22, and will stay until December 22! Dr. Don and Amanda were such great additions to our team and we definitely would not have accomplished what we did without their love and dedication for medicine and the Haitian people.

So we had 5 medical stations:

1. Dr. Scott with Tom as a scribe + a translator
2. Jackie with Eric as a scribe + a translator
3. Toni –no scribe…she is a pro! + a translator
4. Amanda with Cathy as a scribe + a translator
5. Dr. Don—no scribe needed

Then we had the dentist station:
1. Dr. John with Mitch and Cindy as assistants

And the pharmacy
Neatly organized and headed by Matt, who was assisted by Ed and David.

**Cathy also would spend time playing games with the children. Even though she says that is "Ed's gift...she did an amazing job!"

So our routine was to do a dental triage of all the children first, give them all a toothbrush and toothpaste and a little paper with their name if they needed dental work done. The dental work was not restoration or cleaning, but rather extractions. Then each child would go to the doctors to be examined, and finally collect their medication at the pharmacy. At the end, Dr. John would do a presentation about how to properly brush their teeth---unfortunately due to time constraints the latter was only done in one orphanage.
