Neighborhood child

On my rounds yesterday I came across this little boy who was crying.  His mother told me that he was playing near the cooking pot and hot oil fell on him.  The wound looks terrible (as you can see) and the poor kid is in a lot of pain.  Asked Linda to bring him to a doctor friend of ours.  We can at least get him some pain meds.  Will update you later on his condition.

Burn victim

This little boy was burned last night at his home in the local area.  He attends our pre-school and was brought to our clinic this morning.  He has third degree burns on his hand so we prepped him (Nurse RoseMarthe [left] and Miss Tita) and then transported him the the local general hospital.  Our hope is that there's an experienced Cuban doctor on duty to treat the child.
