An Area medical Adviser serves in a country in which he or she usually doesn't have a medical license. It is necessary, therefore, to be careful not to practice medicine but to only give advice. Part of my duties include meeting with missionaries who are sick, so I give them advice. I am charged also with the health of senior missionaries and mission presidents and their families as needed.
On the door to my work area I had a sign that said Clinica. Visitors in the Temple housing, la Casa de Huespades, sometimes saw the sign and would bring their sick friends to see me. I don't mind trying to help personally, but I really don't have much to help them with. This weekend a good brother from Puerto Rico came with mild congestive heart failure, as did a Sister from Trinidad. Needless to say, they need more than "medical advice" from me. I hope they make it safely home.
So I made a new sign, are you impressed?
Taiwan and China Trip in April 2009. Why not a mission? Let's try the Caribbean, Santo Domingo in the Dominican should do nicely. Now let's try Suva, Fiji in the Temple!!
