Sorry for the lack of updates, it's been busy! Plus, the Internet isn't so good here which make updating difficult.

I'm one of 2 PTs supervising the 6 rehab tech students. They've been on clinical for 4 weeks, and will get a week off after our 2 weeks with them. They are seeing adult and peds inpatients and peds outpatients.

We have a special cholera unit here, as this is the original cholera region, and the rainy season has brought it back. They are cordoned off, have a triage tent, an area for the very ill, and then a few tens for those getting better. There is a shower/bathroom tent and an education table. When you leave the area you have to wash your hands with soap and water (not normal here) and have the bottom of your shoes sprayed with disinfectant.

Big news today is Hurricane Emily is supposed to hit tonight. However, not a lot of details about how bad they think it might be or any precautions we should take.
