Dr. Susan teaching the students how to splint a broken bone with improvised splint.
Dr. McDowell teaching students about back pain, one of the most common complaints the students would see (and experience!) as barefoot doctors. The students learned signs and symptoms of back pain such as muscle ache and spasm and causative factors such as muscle strains, degenerated discs.
