Medical Clinic Morijo 2008: A Case Study
 |
|
|
| Cheney Davis, our Nurse Practitioner who works in the Emergency Room of Gwinnett Hospital and Medical Physician Jeannine Wills from California worked together on a severe leg laceration, suturing and bandaging it. This is what we do on mission. |
Local anesthetic is injected into the area around the wound caused when the 15 year old boy fell and gashed his leg on a large, sharp rock. He was carried to our clinic from Morijo Primary School just as we arrived to set up our clinic our first day in Morijo. |

| Meticulous care is used to clean and debride the wound in the out door clinic area. |
Jeannine and Cheney, after stabilizing the wound, decide to move him indoors for surgery. |
|
 |
|
|
| With a surgical dressing setup from our supplies, Dr. Wills sets up the operating room with help from Sheila and Gerry. |
Cheney and Jeannine shared the wound care surgery and suturing as Sheila, Dollie and Dr. Williams assisted. |
|
 |
|
|
| This Masai boy had gotten dirt and grime from the fall into his leg and it was carefully cleaned prior to suturing by our experienced health care practitioners. |
Once the wound was cleaned, the margins were trimmed and readied for suturing. |
|
 |
|
|
| Gerry and Sheila comfort and steady the boy as his leg is painstakingly sutured back together. |
Dr. Jeannine and Cheney took turns suturing the internal and external segments. |
|
 |
|
|
| Progress was steady and the job was carefully completed. |
