Thank you to Ray Maddox of Faith in Practice, and Joanne Wessels (their in-country coordinator) for taking care of this case.
COTA has a 75 yr old gentleman who is in urgent need of inguinal hernia repair. His hernia is not strangulated, but he experiences frequent bouts of incapacitating pain. He is located in Retalhuleu. If anyone knows of a team traveling to this region in the near future, please contact Jody Greenlee at green71957@aol.com.
I am bringing a Faith in Practice team to the Hilario Galindo on October 9-16, 2010. We would be happy to see him and do his surgery provided he has no medical conditions that would prohibit his surgery or anesthesia.
