MARCH  2012

TRIP NOTES
Two planes left on Thursday morning and five planes came down on Friday morning, in generally great weather. Only one plane decided to go whale watching on Saturday afternoon. Thanks, Dale, for making it work.

MEDICAL CLINIC
Patients continued to arrive throughout most of the day. Johnathan Dolev and Margo Kenney did triage..  Doctors Eric McFarland and Nacho Zepeda and Nurse Practitioners Kristen Ethridge and Myra Cochran, were able to see and treat all who came.  Patsi Hodges was in charge of the pharmacy, with help from Sharon Granoff, Wendy McFarland. Felicity Hoffman performed chiropractic services as needed.
 
AUDIOLOGY
Bonnie Rettgers, with  Cheri King translating, serviced some 20 grateful patients with hearing issues. The locals have been asking for Bonnie for some time.

DENTAL CLINIC  
The dental clinic was fortunate to have three dentists and a hygienist. Stu Macpherson, with Roni assisting, did root canals as needed on salvageable teeth, while Drs. Le and Grube did fillings and extractions. Liz Bracken efficiently cleaned teeth. Karyn and Sharon ran the sterilization and Marilyn Zellet kept things running smoothly with her triage. Dental saw a total of 53 patients, 10 of which were cleanings. Melodi organized the clinic and assisted, chairside.
