This time we went to a far mountain village called Colccayui. It was almost two hours away from our hotel. There were lots of very scary turns.
They were very welcoming to us!! They lived in little small shack like houses with thatched or tin roofs with wood stoves with the walls black from smoke with no windows.
One little girl would not let us in her house. We were strangers and they may have been ashamed or protective.
One family I saw three at once the mother and the two kids and their little lamb was in the exam room with us. They lived a hard life.
I saw a patient with a cough for 3 years. He worked cutting trees down with no masks on. He also fell and hit his leg on a rock and was in bed for 3 months. It probably was broken and may have healed improperly. I gave him pain meds and exercise teaching and masks and educated him.
