Hello!

First, allow me to introduce a new student: Michael, who is from England, on the left side of the photo. Nice shades...

Second: it's been a long time since my last entry (>1 week). I'm sorry...but sometimes there's no internet, sometimes we go places like Lake Atitlan, and other times we work a lot (haha) and then we get tired. Here are some pictures from Atitlan (this past weekend):

Third: allow me to come to the point of this entry. I have seen many patients in the puestos and the little hospital (the CEMI). Most of them are kids, babies, or women. I want to talk about those kids for a few seconds. We poke them and prod them, and insert instruments en their ears, mouths, and anuses too! We even inject them with vaccines and other things too. And yet...those kids don't shout, bite us or cry too much! What stoicism they have! I don't know why, but maybe it's because they can't complain much during childhood, or else their parents shout at them or hit them. Anyway, it's incredible when we give them vaccines or suture their lacerations and the kids don't complain at all. Not all of them, but most of them. Why? It's an interesting question.
