Dr. Mike and Peruvian Patient
Dr. Hopkins of Dunedin, Florida has just recently returned from his mission to Peru, as part of a team of Rotarians. This is his 3rd consecutive mission to Peru. He has previously donated dentistry to citizens of the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Bosnia.
Dr. Mike treated 125 patients and performed 254 extractions over a three day clinic time. This year's Rotary Team was able to extend cleft palate correction as this is a common ailment in Peru. There were 21 cleft palate corrections performed, for which Dr. Hopkins assisted the surgeons by performing the pre-surgery extractions.
... and no, this year he didn't enjoy the local delicacy of roasted guinea pig.
