Preop & Laundry, Honduras style

Megan starts a little one's IV in the hospital's preop area. Yes, it's a garage. They haven't quite continued the construction through to that part of the hospital yet, so it doubles as a preop area, hospital sterilizing (where an old, yet effective-once-working autoclave is parked), and general storage area for mountains of equipment brought by the visiting teams.

 
Did I mention that they could use some industrial-sized washing machines? This is the hospital laundry where a brave woman clad in arm-length work gloves attacked the mountain. See the sink next to the mountain of laundry. The one or two machines they had going where simply no match to the amount of patients that we saw.
