WEBVTT

00:02.482 --> 00:05.065
(upbeat music)

00:11.810 --> 00:12.643
- [Narrator] Our number one priority

00:12.643 --> 00:15.430
is to get our medical personnel
up to date in situations

00:15.430 --> 00:18.050
they are gonna see in hostile environments

00:18.050 --> 00:19.620
and we'll steer them by.

00:19.620 --> 00:22.130
Our medics are pretty
much preparing in areas

00:22.130 --> 00:24.010
in which otherwise will be unprepared.

00:24.010 --> 00:26.580
So when the moment comes and there's time

00:26.580 --> 00:28.970
to save American lives in war,

00:28.970 --> 00:30.053
they will be ready.

00:31.237 --> 00:33.450
- {Kuhn] We chose this
as a strategic priority

00:33.450 --> 00:36.410
continuing the engagements
along the trans-border region

00:36.410 --> 00:38.670
between Guatemala and Honduras to allow us

00:38.670 --> 00:41.493
to build partnerships and
to resist malign actors.

00:43.230 --> 00:46.170
- [Asencio] So the Minister
of Health Regional Director

00:46.170 --> 00:48.660
expressed that the big
interest in public health

00:48.660 --> 00:49.780
and preventative medicine.

00:49.780 --> 00:51.850
I coordinated with our Civil Affairs team

00:51.850 --> 00:53.536
to meet with the governor of Cortez,

00:53.536 --> 00:54.880
and she came out.

00:54.880 --> 00:57.190
And we also have the
minister of health director

00:57.190 --> 00:59.130
for the department of Cortez.

00:59.130 --> 01:01.073
I think its important to work
with them because for one,

01:01.073 --> 01:02.180
we're working in their country,

01:02.180 --> 01:03.590
we're working with their people.

01:03.590 --> 01:04.520
And that's where it starts,

01:04.520 --> 01:05.955
trying to get these diseases

01:05.955 --> 01:09.253
and infectious disease rates down.

01:09.253 --> 01:11.836
(techno music)

01:13.770 --> 01:15.550
- [Puente] We teach about mosquito.

01:15.550 --> 01:18.370
The diseases that they carry.

01:18.370 --> 01:20.870
A whole day's around 220.

01:20.870 --> 01:23.313
Today's like maybe more than that.

01:26.810 --> 01:27.960
- [Benyisrael] Welcome to Corinto

01:27.960 --> 01:30.000
where we're seeing the local population

01:30.000 --> 01:33.890
of about six different
surrounding villages.

01:33.890 --> 01:35.870
We just find out what their elements are.

01:35.870 --> 01:36.790
If we can help them here,

01:36.790 --> 01:38.780
that's great! If they need
a higher level of care,

01:38.780 --> 01:39.613
we send them on.

01:39.613 --> 01:41.813
We've seen about 30-40+ patients today.

01:43.120 --> 01:45.020
- [Edward] The Honduran
military being our translators

01:45.020 --> 01:47.340
and helping us get patient flow

01:48.207 --> 01:49.550
And the American Red Cross is doing that.

01:49.550 --> 01:50.728
They're on traffic control,

01:50.728 --> 01:52.690
making sure that things
are going smoothly.

01:52.690 --> 01:53.807
Patients are coming in
and patients coming out

01:53.807 --> 01:56.300
in a nice orderly fashion.

01:56.300 --> 01:57.900
(upbeat music)

01:57.900 --> 01:58.850
- [Wheeler] A lot of people here,

01:58.850 --> 02:00.960
they haven't seen a doctor for a long time

02:00.960 --> 02:02.060
or at all,

02:02.060 --> 02:05.150
sometimes for the issue that they're here

02:05.150 --> 02:06.293
to get addressed.

02:07.160 --> 02:08.710
We're able to treat a lot of things

02:08.710 --> 02:09.650
if we know what it is,

02:09.650 --> 02:11.999
we can take care of it here.

02:11.999 --> 02:14.300
And then a lot of people do ultimately

02:14.300 --> 02:17.010
go see a provider anyway
for the more complex issues

02:17.010 --> 02:18.573
that need follow up care.

02:19.630 --> 02:21.240
- [Carroll] If you look
at the stack of papers,

02:21.240 --> 02:22.840
that's how many patients.

02:22.840 --> 02:25.960
Most patients get an average
of three prescriptions.

02:25.960 --> 02:28.123
What we do is when we get the medication,

02:28.123 --> 02:31.230
we break it do to a certain amount

02:31.230 --> 02:35.180
that we think a patients
gonna need per the medication

02:35.180 --> 02:37.180
and then after that's broken down

02:37.180 --> 02:39.980
then we divide it into how many days.

02:39.980 --> 02:42.810
This is actually very labor
intensive and time intensive.

02:42.810 --> 02:45.550
It took probably at least 60 hours.

02:45.550 --> 02:48.247
I would say its very positive

02:48.247 --> 02:50.737
and appreciative.

02:50.737 --> 02:53.320
(upbeat music)

03:03.163 --> 03:03.996
- [Markel] Yes for today,

03:03.996 --> 03:05.070
we're just looking at extractions

03:05.070 --> 03:06.250
for most of the patients here.

03:06.250 --> 03:10.350
Right now we're using desktops
as our operative tables.

03:10.350 --> 03:12.040
Um they kind of help cause
they're pretty sturdy

03:12.040 --> 03:13.520
when it comes to extractions.

03:13.520 --> 03:14.670
Maybe if we were doing a filling,

03:14.670 --> 03:16.950
we'll probably do maybe
might've wanted a field chair,

03:16.950 --> 03:19.210
but we got to work what
we got to work with.

03:19.210 --> 03:20.810
They don't have the necessities to get

03:20.810 --> 03:23.483
to a normal dental clinic like we would.

03:26.670 --> 03:27.870
- [McDonald] Doing
extractions is not something

03:27.870 --> 03:30.143
that you would normally get to do

03:30.143 --> 03:33.932
in a clinical type setting where we are,

03:33.932 --> 03:35.800
where we're located at,

03:35.800 --> 03:37.670
so we don't typically
do extractions everyday,

03:37.670 --> 03:38.750
so being able to come out here

03:38.750 --> 03:41.200
and do this definitely
honing in on those skills.

03:46.530 --> 03:49.050
- [Flocke] The sites of our
MEDRETS are well researched

03:49.050 --> 03:50.400
and strategically planned,

03:50.400 --> 03:52.500
however they are often in isolated

03:52.500 --> 03:53.953
and in hard to reach areas.

03:56.860 --> 03:59.167
- [Aguilastratt] Those guys
are working tirelessly.

03:59.167 --> 04:00.750
They work here.

04:00.750 --> 04:03.740
They go from town to town
from the steer condition

04:03.740 --> 04:04.960
or sear condition.

04:04.960 --> 04:07.730
They go back to sort of
kinda to RIF it and do a AAR

04:07.730 --> 04:09.150
and then they get back out.

04:09.150 --> 04:10.170
And if you can look around,

04:10.170 --> 04:11.660
they always have a smile on their face

04:11.660 --> 04:13.440
regardless of how tired they are

04:13.440 --> 04:15.630
because they know that they
are helping the community

04:15.630 --> 04:17.683
and they are increasing army ratings.

04:17.683 --> 04:20.176
