Barranco


Thursday. Burns girl doing well, old skin removed and immobilized but now traumatised by doctors. Garifuna village at Barranco along a pretty good road for a change. Scruffy compared to the Maya villages and in the main with elderly patients (wearing smart clothes and hats) rather than young kids with fevers. Busy. HTN checks, possible GH disease, and the Maya family which kept me very busy up until lunch with a bad back for mum (well she does have 7 children), worms, nits and the 20yr old daughter has 'hysteria' for which exercise and a job is prescribed by Dr John. Maggotty fish lunch (I didn't find any!) and the sick puppy. Coral Inn is open (hurrah!), relax, rum and funeral. Independance day celebrations in town...we get beers in tree house with ondrea and maire. Wierd dreams!
