For 2.5 weeks I am traveling as a PT to the Dominican Republic with a group of 22 PT students and other professionals to care for patients. I will be with 2 of the students at Hospital de Los Ninos, a pediatric hospital.

A room on the orthopedic floor

We saw the kid on the right who has an infection of his leg which he fractured, and the kid on the left who fractured his leg when he was 3 years old after he got in a fight with another kid. His growth was disrupted so that that leg is now significantly shorter than the other one, and has an external fixator to lengthen the bone.
