The Walk and the Wait

I went with the medical team yesterday to Las Pitas, which consists of a Honduran doctor, a Honduran nurse and a Honduran driver. Along the way we picked up the Honduran preacher and song leader for the village we were going to.
In the states there always seem to be some patients who are impatient, and who complain that they had to wait in the clinic for an hour to see the doctor or in the ER for 8+ hours. In Las Pitas many of the patients had walked 2-4 hours up a steep hill to arrive 1-2 hours for the team to arrive, and then continued to wait until their turn without complaining.
