Friday and today we had more student presentation on
medications. This helps them learn the information better and breaks up teaching
a little.

We used the 3 students who had to have some teeth removed as
patients today. They needed some sutures removed from the teeth extractions. We
projected the suture removal from an iPhone to the overhead project so all
could learn from this real life experience. The last student was even brave
enough to let one of the other students do the procedure rather than the U. S. doctors.
All went well.

After that Dr. Bruce educated & trained them on CPR and
choking emergencies. They had fun with the hands on practice with CPR dummies
and all the instructors took a station. Sadly, one student shared how this
training was so impactful because she witnessed a tragedy related to this
topic. She was invited to witness childbirth by a friend as an educational experience.
When the baby was born it was not breathing. The person who was helping to
deliver the baby started blowing around the outside of the baby’s mouth, not
into the mouth. The baby died. What we consider simple knowledge of CPR and
rescue breathing would have likely saved this baby's life. A large number of
babies are not breathing when they are first born but simply need help getting
started. This training will help save lives.
