The Eagles Cheerleaders came to visit.
This paitent came from a base about 60 miles away. They convoyed here (without IED, thank goodness). When he showed up at the clinic, the right side of his face was swollen. His upper right wisdom tooth underwent a partial root canal before and was now infected. After extraction, Clindomycin PO, and a days rest he was feeling a ton better. I asked if i could use his partner's SAW while we posed infront of the clinic. These weapons are powerful and heavy to carry. As you compare our postures, you can see that i'm a natural at holding this weapon. =)
You can also see his face is a little swollen still, this was the day after the extraction.

Here's the entrance to our clinic


My assistant Specialist Dehl



Dr Miller, working hard. He's also my roomate, we share a CHU together.


Our Endodontist and OIC, Dr Torres





Our clinic is one of the biggest in Iraq. This is one of the two bays. We have about 7 dentists working here, but the numbers change depending on the needs elsewhere in Iraq. This is kind of the home base, since Head Quarters is here as well.
