Half in, half out...

It's another Monday.
A clinic day.
With many children waiting outside the gate.
It's still only me in the clinic.
So, 35 children will be allowed in.
Meaning the rest will be left outside.
Unfortunately today there were about 70 kids outside.
This meant that after letting 35 in, I was sending about the same amount away.
Not a very great start to the day.
How do you explain to the mom's and dad's that they need to go somewhere else.
Somewhere else in a place with such a poor health care system.
The decent places are either too full or too expensive.
The affordable places are often not very good- handing out meds, giving injections, etc.
My guess is, a lot of these kids will end up outside my gate again tomorrow.
Hopefully the 'sick sick' ones will have gone to a decent facility.
