On Wednesday, August 25, 2004, Dr. Walter Birdsall and the P.A.L.S. volunteers had a
meeting in the employee lounge. A luncheon was served from LaCasa. Everyone ate a
delicious meal. The dessert was provided by Ms. Ismay Theriot. She made a wonderful
coconut cake. She wanted to do something to thank the volunteers
for helping to get her medicines. Now the volunteers want to thank her for that wonderful
coconut cake. Everyone enjoyed it. Here are a few of the pictures I took at the luncheon
meeting.
Everyone is enjoying the great food.
Does Annie have a choke hold on Evelyn
or is she just hugging her?.
Dr. B is getting ready to enjoy his lunch.
Dr. Birdsall is ready to start the meeting.
Evelyn must be saying something important,
everyone is listening!.
Princess Ebby is doing hand puppets!
Ruby and Evelyn decide who will get the first piece of cake.
WEll, I guess Evelyn won!
Dr. Gary finally came to join us. He and Wilton share a table.
The major area of discussion was the need to introduce this program to other Lady of the Sea
Medical Clinics. Several doctors have asked for the forms and methods we are using since
their patients are asking for the same program we are doing. It's impossible for us to do
it for patients of another doctor because so much information is needed from the doctor. Our
volunteers fill out all of the usual doctor information and the doctor checks it, signs it
and writes the prescriptions. No doctor has the time to look up all of this information for
each of his patients. As a volunteer I feel I have done a good afternoon of work if I finish
one patients requests. If a patient has 7 prescriptions it will probably be from 7 different
pharmaceuticals with 7 different applications to fill. It is a lot of work but it is very
rewarding for the volunteers to know that they helped at least 1 person. God bless all of you.
