| The log book |
Today started the last week of the Barefoot Dr. medical
training. The focus will be on
putting it all together. Friday we issued them the logbooks to track the
patients they see, the diseases, and the treatments. The completed logbooks
will be the basis for next year's training. This will ensure we are training
them on issues they actually see in their areas.

| Sorting medications. |
The final shipment of medications came in on Friday and we
spent some time sorting them out into separate kits for the students. Unfortunately
there is no word on the “Cure Kits” that have been stuck in customs for over a
month. We cannot wait for them any longer and must assume they are not going to
be released. This is such a shame
and waste. Fortunately, the life-saving and prescription medications were ordered here in Thailand weeks ago and
have been received.

| Pill identification |
This week will also focus on ensuring the students know the
medications very well including pill identification as well as the actual
bottles they will receive. The brand names can look different then the actual
drug name so it is important to study with the actual pills they will have.

| BBQ |
BBQ Thailand style! Friday night we took time to celebrate
and get to know each other better as we shared a BBQ together. Pungsar, the fabulous cook here,
put on a great meal. Including fresh pork, fresh vegetables, rice, sticky rice,
spicy salsas, fresh fruit for desert, and of course mountain tea. It was delicious
and a great time.
