Stamping Out Disease

Cristina Baker working with evacuees at the Iberia Inn

We started out today at the Iberia Inn - the hotel we visited yesterday. It started out slow, so after hearing from the Red Cross that one of the nearby shelters had just lost their nurse (it turned out it was the city park shelter we've been visiting regularly) I hopped into one of the Mao minivans with Tim and Terry and we went to check it out.

Afterwards, I paid a visit to the public health clinic in New Iberia. They usually don't offer any primary care services, so I think this will be quite the change for them.

When I returned to the hotel, it was hopping. We ended up seeing more than 60 patients. They were crawling out of the woodwork.
