Medical Mission

Today we did a medical mission (With Badette, Janelle, Mark, and Pogi). I said "yes" to the idea because I got nothing else to do and it was a friends invitation. I wanted to use my energy to something purposeful.

It really reminds me of community. The set up and all. That's what nurses really are doing in real life. They assist and assist in a community setting. In a hospital, it's of course different.

Today, it refreshed my memory of what community was like. I there are a lot of people that are concerned with health however, they can't get the right treatment for personal reasons. I had taken a handful of people who have high BP's, does not have any maintenance and are not aware of it. It alarmed me. 160/120 without maintenance -- just imagine the consequences. I feel sad about what could happen to them. 

I think of the worst case scenarios such as developing a circulation problem, heart attacks, stroke, no money to buy for medications, depression, death -- sadness of loved ones, cry, cry, tears.. Probably it is my thoughts that makes me sad O_O Well, probably not something new given the fact of the condition of their area. I can only help in medical missions, but I can't save them from consequences in the future.  

My job there is done.
