Eye Doc In A Box

01/14/2012

2011 was a great year for eye doc in a box. I did 16 seminars and trained about 195 laymen. I know of 30,000 patients that my students treated in 2011. I went on 4 trips for a total of 48 trips. I treated about 3,900 patients. I am going to India Jan. 26- Feb.11. If you want to schedule a seminar, please contact me.

PS The seminar training is going well. My students have examined about 12,000 patients this year that I know of. On Saturday, July 10, a lady flew in from Los Vegas for training. On July 30 she is going to Zambia to train 30 missionaries from all over Africa to conduct eye clinics That group of missionaries should treat many thousand patients. There are teams in Mexico and Honduras right now.

. A total of 2200 plus patients were seen in the clinics. Many patients went to both clinics. A mother would come in with several children with a complaint for herself. After she got in, she wanted each child treated for various problems. There were 503 new believers in the clinics and a total of 1,610 new believers from the 16 crusades, 7 schools, and 7 clinics.

The team of 9 members was extremely busy. We had 16 crusades, spoke in 7 schools, and conducted 7 joint medical/eye clinics. I trained Pastor Abraham last year to do the eye examinations. In the villages where his language was spoken, both of us examined patients. I examined 810 patients and he examined 304 for a total of 1,114 patients

That means that the father grows enough food on his small farm to feed his family. The idea is for the father to divide his farm among his sons so that they can grow enough food to feed their family. The problem is that the “farms” are now so small that there is barely enough land to feed this generation. How is a father going to divide his small farm among 5 sons and each one feed a large family?

The most dramatic difference that I saw on this trip was the tremendous number of children everywhere. I asked several people about family size expectations. There was general agreement that in Uganda four or fewer children was considered a small family, 5 to 8 was average, and 9 or more was a big family. The country is seting itself up for mass starvation. Most Ugandans are subsistence farmers

The nurse, Michelle Dozier, has had recurrent breast cancer. She has had 12 surgeries, radiation, and chemo twice. Her attitude is that every new day is a gift from God. That would be a great attitude for each of us.

I was in Pallisa, Uganda June 14 – 27 with Tom Cox World Ministry on my 42nd medical mission trip. The team worked with Pastor Ignatius with whom I have worked several times before. We held joint medical/eye clinics with a pediatric nurse running the medical clinic.
