Casual Articles - The Challenges Of Medical Missions In Honduras
As a marketer, and for the record, I do believe that we are all full-time marketers; I am always looking for ways to connect more regularly with and add value to my target audience – I want top-of-mind awareness for myself, my business and my offerings.Now for years, I’ve known that publishing my very own newsletter would be an optimal way to do that and more however, as an innovative marketer, I kept coming back to the fact that there are already a ton of newsletters out there – and some of them are excellent. So I fought the concept of creatin

There was a time in our history when workplace injuries were limited to occupational accidents, slip and falls and repetitive motion injuries. Forget the garden variety injuries, when it comes to workplace violence this is an iceberg and you’re the Titanic!In America alone, some 2 million workers are victims of workplace violence each year and the upward trend seems to continue. All too often we hear disturbing news reports of workplace violence. We hear of disturbed workers that commit violent acts in their own workplace or workers who are as
Of course the first priority is to make sure the place is sanitized and the dogs need to find something else to do for a while. One medical doctor volunteer, Dr. Nathalie Fiset, explained how their team set things up and how each complimented the other and how they quickly organized to help the onslaught of patients;
"Dr Rudy is always my “left- winger” and I can call upon him anytime I need something complicated explained in Spanish to the mother. I see children and women under 35 years old. There are two other doctors who are seeing adults. Dr Jeff Kroll is a urologist and takes care of the minor surgeries with the material we brought. On an average day we see over 1000 people. I counted one day for fun and realized I had seen over 250 patients. Not a bad day at the office. We have to stop at sun down because we have no electricity and it gets pretty dark to see and diagnose when people show us a rash."
So many of the people in rural Honduras do not understand medicine or how it works. Some think that a magic pill will be given to them. They think that a couple of vitamins will cure their malnutrition. Of course the medical volunteers know it does not work that way, yet still work hard to help any way they can. Some cases are simple others very serious and yet the camaraderie and team work helps them through another long day;
"One of the days, my energy level was very high and I must have seen over 300 people because Rudy was pretty sick and could see less people. Whenever I was done seeing patients, I would walk up to Ray, the man doing circulation and say “LISTA” meaning I am ready and he would send in more people. One time, I walk up to him and I say “lista”. He proudly sends in a family of seven. I rapidly see them and send them to pharmacy and walk back to Ray saying; 'Is that the best you can do?'”

Overselling is a big trend in the web-hosting world at the moment. It's an easy way to get more out of your servers than normally is possible. The basic idea of overselling is that the majority of your clients are only going to use a fraction of the resources allocated to them so there's going to be a lot of wasted bandwidth and space. Overselling involves taking a gamble and selling more than you can handle assuming that the unused resources will cover it.Let's say for example that a server hard drive is 80GB and has 1200GB of bandwidth. The hos

Since a Power Team is a loosely knit organization, it is difficult to give potential clients a way to see all the expertise at the same time. You would not want them to go to each site to learn about the people on the project. The best way to deal with this is to set up a central location that gives bio information for each team member. This doesn’t mean that the client will use every team member but at least he will be able to see the strength of your group. I have such a site for my Power Team under

The conversion rate describes the percentage of visitors taking action on a website. Usually this action will be making a purchase; but conversion rates can and should be calculated for any action item on a website, e.g. subscribing to a newsletter or filling out an inquiry form.Conversion science is a hot trend in Internet Marketing that has long been neglected when online marketers primarily focused on the acquisition of traffic through search engine optimization and other online marketing techniques to improve visibility of websites on the Int
After a hard day helping people until it is impossible to see what you are doing any longer due to darkness the team is both amped with energy and exhausted at the same time. Grateful for making it through and physically and mentally drained. Like a group of marathon runners they reflect upon what they had just done, knowing that they need to get some sleep and prepare for the next day and do it all over again. The patients and locals are so appreciative noted one volunteer of the medical team;
"Most people stay with us after the clinic is finished and sing and pray with us returning to their home walking in the dark late at night".
The serious cases are the ones which really take their toll on the volunteers said most of the medical doctors and assistants we interviewed. They all agreed that this is why they volunteered and said that it was lucky they arrived when we did. Each medical team had such stories of how they saved a young child's life. Dr. Nathalie Fiset recalled one serious situation that was beyond their immediate abilities with the equipment and supplies they had brought;
"I had seen a child with severe asthma who was turning blue and losing consciousness. After giving him all the antibiotics, cortisone shots and inhalers we could see he was not getting better. When we told the mother she needed to go to the hospital, she said that was not possible because she had other children to take care of. We managed to arrange for her to get a ride from the only person who had a car and a neighbor would take care of the other children. If this child did not go to the hospital he would have died."
The dental care and assistance needed for Hondurans is also a huge issue, as most people never brush their teeth and at a very young age, t
