Pint Size Hypochondriacs

Todays Blog will be short. I saw over 50 people in 6 hours and am having trouble thinking in English or Spanish.
Everyday I am amazed at the resilence of the people who live here. Everyday there are things that make me a little sad and lots of things to make me laugh.

For instance, did you know that hypochondriacs come in all sizes? This one child comes to clinic almost everyday. It's like watching a Saturday Night Live skit everytime she comes in. I say, what's the problem, she says, um well I have pain in my elbow, yeah my elbow. Then I go on to ask if she hurts anywhere else, every part confirmed, even the eyelashes! Her medicine always includes a hug. In return, I always get a smile.

Hope the weather has warmed up where you are!
Feliz Dia
Jenny
