Medical Teaching Continues - the Last Week!

Our doctors and nurses are finishing up their final instructions for the Barefoot Doctors this week.  Teaching continues every day until Thursday when the students will take their final exam.

We are happy to still have Dr. Susan McDowell and Nurse Betty Reid-White with us.  They have been invaluable members of the staff this year again.  They are so devoted to our students.  This afternoon part of the instruction included taking blood sugar and checking blood pressure.  These services are much needed in Myanmar.

Dr. Eddy and his wife, Ramona, are here as well, as you know from the previous post.

Dr. Eddy, a dentist, practices in Burma and is especially helpful because he can teach the students directly in their own language.  He is a very good teacher and has actually been showing the students how to use the ultrasonic scaling machine with live patients.  The students have also used the scaling machine on each other.
