First Day of Study

The day has finally come! Today was the first day of the study and overall everything went very well. I was a bit ambitious and wanted to start at both clinics at the same time. We all started out in the cervical cancer screening clinic and then once I thought they were in the flow I took the other team to the other clinic, but then by the time we got there it was a bit too late because many of the patients were gone. The talk in the first clinic went really well with lots of interesting questions and feedback. Most people thought that most things can cause cancer like chicken broiler, condoms that left out in the sun, too much acid in the body. One lady was taking her own herbal remedy for cervical cancer that she said was a miracle and better than the doctor treatment and was trying to sell it to the other patients for 200,000 MK. The ladies really enjoyed it, but of course the paperwork part wasn't perfect, but i know it will get better with time.
