Day One (Yeah)

On our first real day of work, we divided amongst ourselves to three different locations.

Our special feature from today:  Natty Pinkes, future doctor.  At the med clinic, we encountered a woman who had had a cast on her arm for over two months.  It took nearly an hour to remove the cast, and upon its release, she was completely unable to twist her wrist and barely able to make a fist.  Natty created a splint from a cardboard box and duct tape that would minimize her pain until she could get to a hospital.
