San Pedro

5/14/2009

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 animals were altered in San Pedro.

The building that was used 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.

Regarding 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.
