Crazy day...

So I was in triage again today and we started out pretty busy. I think we admitted 5-6 in the first couple of hours. We even had one patient come by ambulance...lights and sirens too!! After that things got SUPER slow. The Haitian staff was playing all kinds of music for me and I got some time to work on my sunburn! Finally they decided to send a few of us home early...who knew you could be budgeted hours on a mission trip! I was ensured my pay would not be docked though! ;) The ride home was adventurous to say the least. Apparently the city of Titanyen (where our compound is located) decided to riot because they want electricity so the traffic was crazy and there were hundreds of people walking the streets. The usual 20 min trip took about an hour and a half I think. We weren't sure we were going to make it to our road since we had crossed over to the oncoming traffic side to get position - not uncommon in Haiti at all. Eventually we were able to push our way across. Wasn't scary or anything...just crazy! We had a few new team members arrive yesterday and found out this morning one of them is from Indy...yeah for more Hoosiers. Well off to dinner I go.
