Assessing a patient with liver failure. The doctor holding the chart loved learning English and walked us around to every patient. The room holds 38 beds. It is hot and smelly. There is one nurse and several doctors (which leave by 12 so they can go to their private practice where they are paid).


The Minor Surgery room. You get to see some pretty gross looking stuff here.


This is the famous room of death... Reanimacion. The feet are of a patient who was in a car accident and lost half of his head (literally), one patient is being resuscitated, and one has a BP of 50/10 and is about to go into cardiac arrest. The beds are packed in there so tight you can't get to some of the patient's heads.

Teaching CPR. This was tons of fun!
