At 8am Friday December 31st 2010, the walk in small surgery clinic of the main base attended to 32yo Jose Stanley Galvez who presented with a small contusion and clean laceration of his left eyelid. He states he and his friend were in the “HulaHula” area of downtown at 1am when there was a “misunderstanding” with another group of peers that assaulted him with a rock. Clinic worker Dora de Lovo provided care to Jose who states he is grateful he did not lose his eye during the altercation.
After applying 70cc of Lidocaine, Dora used a Synature brand size 6-0 monofilament polypropylene (0.7 metric) to make five stitches. CDS wishes Stanely a quick recovery and educated him to be careful while walking downtown at night. Photos: Mark Hoffman
Mark is in the process of doing a fundraiser through facebook and paypal in order to remodel one of our main base bathrooms in San Salvador. The bathroom itself has been out of use for quite awhile and it would benefit visiting patients to our walk in clinic. If you have any questions please contact marco at salvamento dot org.
Medical personnel from the Health Department of Concepcion, immunized workers at Comandos in order to increase their defenses to AH1N1. There is a risk of direct contact with this illness due to our health care workers milieu.
