We had a pretty crowded health fair this morning. It was chaotic at first but then everything settled and things went well. We started at 9:00 am and went all the way to 1:00 pm without a break.

We drew blood for hepatitis test for about 120 people. Pam, who works for Baylor, drew blood patient after patient for straight 4 hours. Dr. Son Do stepped in and help ed draw blood as well after the first few minutes and he saw how many were waiting in line. Diane, a volunteer who has her real job working for Gilead Sciences, helped labeling the blood sample all through. Vanessa and I was signing up people with the help of ThuyTien and Nho, who is splitted between our hepatitis station and the prostate station. I made sure we have the patient's contact info so we can get the results to them later and calling people's name off the signup list, lining up them to keep things go smoothly. Many complained why it has been so long and I hadn't called their names. Many jumped from one station to the next hoping to get all the tests done. I was firm and just doing round robin calling people's name off of all the different lists I had. It was not bad at all but I was reminded that human nature never changes.

In addition, we had all kind of other testing: vision, dental, cholesterol, pap smear, bone density, ... as well as giving tetanus shots, all of this free of charge.

Saw Helena and her sister Diane at Tay Do restaurant when we went for "bun bo Hue" afterward. Went to the office for a little bit before stopping by for a workout at Bally's before going home to post this.
