Back at the clinic the routine was more familiar for everyone. Also the flow seemed much smoother because we had fewer patients throughout the day. For dental and medical clinic today we saw about 40-50 patients. One little one year old was compromised with severe asthma and had retractions. We provided IV fluids and respiratory medications but ultimately he needed to be sent to the hospital for ongoing care. One older woman had a systolic blood pressure of 230 mm/hg and was symptomatic with dizziness. Though she had blood pressure medication prescribed, she did not take it daily because she was trying to make it last. Education was provided as well as a new supply of necessary medication.
