San Pedro

Clients waiting for us to get started at our San Pedro clinic.

Reception

Check in was in a separate building. Carole was very fluent in Spanish and could talk to the clients.

The building that was used in San Pedro was full of benches and was a meeting hall of some sort. The volunteers had to move benches outside before they could set up the clinic. Building was spacious and provided lots of room for everyone.

Our much used, much abused autoclave. Being able to sterilize the instruments gave a greater feeling of security for our surgeons. many projects use cold sterile methods. We prefer to steam sterilize. The autocalve after this day had major issues. Ed was able to repair it and it continued to work for the rest of the clinics.

San Pedro has a population of about 250 people and we were told there were over 50 dogs that needed altering. Not all animals came and some that did come were just too small to withstand the surgery so they were turned away. 34 animlas were altered in San Pedro.
