Hey look, an orchid (Cypripedium parviflorum). . I’m going to be out of the clinic (and in the mobile clinic) Thursday through sunday. If anyone needs an in-person or distance consultation or remedies refilled or anything like that, let me know before i go. I may not be easy to reach while i am out of town. . . . . #herbalist #mobileclinic #medicinewagon #playthink2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CQAWv74Fn1q/?utm_medium=tumblr

Pregnant women typically walk 1-3 hours over dirt roads to reach our Mobile Prenatal Clinics and we're always grateful when new moms, like this one, can make that trek again with baby in arms for postpartum care. According to the WHO, postpartum care programs are typically the weakest of all reproductive and child health programs in developing countries. #maternalhealth #postpartumcaresaveslives #mobileclinic #Haiti (Photo: Cheryl Hanna-Truscott) (at Plateau, Centre, Haiti)

A late night visitor to the medicine wagon. A female Dragonfly of the species (Erythemis simplicicollis). Where i grew up we called this kind of creature a “snake-doctor”, and older kids would try to convince younger kids of a tall tale that they flew around stitching up injured snakes. Since this bug has something of a reputation as a physician, i showed her around the mobile clinic before taking her back to the pond area where the bugs she eats mostly live. . . . #medicinewagon #mobileclinic #snakedoctor #creatures https://www.instagram.com/p/CEJVCjsFVoo/?igshid=19d3ksdiiq3m5

Medicine Wagon in the snow. Looking forward to spring medicine camp and maybe some community based herbalism actions in the spring. #herbalmedicine #medicinewagon #herbalist #mobileclinic https://www.instagram.com/p/B8SkNGZlGFi/?igshid=a4bthmnfzf3p

The medicine wagon. . . Hoping to do some cool stuff with it this year. I just recently did some paintking inside and had been slowly furnishing it with various different equipment. Also last summer it didn’t have a door, just a curtain. Now it has this four-piece bullpen door with windows. Both are traditional for this type of caravan, but the curtain doesn’t keep out the weather so well. . . . Anyway, watch this space for more exciting and instructional medicine wagon adventures. . . . #herbalist #medicinewagon #herbalmedicine #community #publichealth #tinyhouseonwheels #mobileclinic https://www.instagram.com/p/BvAmNegBWsc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ro687um0vbtt

The Bentley logo on the medicine wagon is like a little wingèd creature on my shoulder. . . . #mobileclinic #medicine #rv #tinyhouseonwheels #herbalist

A week ago i signed up for this Coursera concentration about public health initiatives (mostly) in developing countries and disaster/conflict situations. I figured it would help me to make more plans etc. for my mobile clinic project. . . Since then i’ve been working on it every spare moment, and am almost finished with the seven months of coursework. It’s like a more productive version of bingewatching netflix. The mental exercise has felt fantastic. . . . #publichealth #coursera #mobileclinic #herbalist https://www.instagram.com/p/BnjvEwNB1dj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13qbv0m0qaufh
