Day 3- First medical clinic
Today we had our first medical clinic day at the American University, which is an old CIA building, large and massive (some say there are bugs planted in the walls!). About
150 people came, and were treated, according to the records, and maybe many more.
I did “spiritual counseling”, and a doctor, physician’s assistant and nurses diagnosed, while a dentist treated and pulled teeth. Bernie Pierre and I had the best job, as we prayed with 6 people to accept Christ, and 3 to rededicate themselves. We spoke and prayed with everyone after they were treated. We saw countless unwed mothers, one as young as 17 (apparently it is very common and acceptable here for women to get pregnant without a husband, and not to expect the man to be involved with the child). Women who were married were the exception- very sad.We also saw many quake refugees, one of whose foot was broken by it. Many people lost jobs and homes, and went to other places in the country. They are homeless throughout the country.
