Nicaragua

Karen with her little buddy, Kristel. They met at the hospital, where Kristel's brother was starting treatment for facial paralysis. (He ended up getting adjusted three times during the week and regained some movement in his face).


David and another chiropractor on the team, Markus, eating bull's testicles.


David adjusting a patient at one of the church's where we set up a few of the days.


Returned from Nicaragua on Saturday night from a chiropractic mission trip. Crazy. We saw thousands of people for all kinds of crazy problems. Here are my (David) 3 biggest memories:

1. Went to a hospital where, after explaining what chiropractic was, we set up a room and saw hundreds of patients and also did pre- and post-adjustment blood pressures. The hospital didn't have enough extra batteries for the auto-blood pressure cuff (we needed exactly 4) , but we got by. Imagine trying to pull something like that off at your local hospital!

2. We went to a pastor's conference with thousands of people attending and after a few minutes on stage to introduce the idea of chiropractic, we set up some tables in the back and adjusted, literally, thousands of people.

3. I ate bull's testicles at a local restaurant. They were pretty darn good.
