paramedicpete,

It's moments like those that we really get rocked back on our heels. My own guess reading between the lines here is that she probably then walked back home, likely several hours to a day by foot. I would hope not so far, but from several other medical folks that I've spoken with over the years, some of these folks often walk days to bring their families to these free clinics and doctors. Kudos to you and the others involved in this worthwhile project.

Respectfully,
