Slide 11
Mobile Clinic with CHAD at CMC Allows doctors and nurses to go
to nearby villages to provide medical care.
Slide 12
CHAD casualty (ER) In my future career, I hope to be able to
provide more cost-effective and cost-conscious care to patients, as
they do in the CHAD hospital and throughout CMC.
Slide 13
NICU at CMC I also hope to be able to recognize when
interventions are appropriate, and to learn how to let nature take
its course gracefully. (This baby is fine. There were others that
the staff chose not to intervene on due to likely futility or poor
quality of life.)
Slide 14
Free Leprosy Medications at Kaligiri I hope to be conscious of
the financial and emotional burdens that diseases put on patients.
Leprosy patients often didnt seek treatment (in the past) in India
due to the social stigma of having the disease, even though the
medications were free. Now that they can receive care at a PCP or
dermatologist office, they are more likely to do so.
Slide 15
A rehab patient at CMC Our patients were incredibly generous
and grateful: this man had a spinal cord injury over 20 years ago,
and was grateful to be alive and to be wheeling himself around. He
generously granted my request for a picture, too.
