Wilma is 7 years old. Her family was very concerned about her. She had fever, a hot swollen mass under her jaw that resulted in a lack of interest in food. She had been to several doctors in Belize City, Orange Walk and Chetumal. She was not getting better. But she was still smiling. A careful bimanual exam of where the swelling connected up inside revealed a blocked and infected submandibular salivary gland...sialadenitis!!!...Am I claiming to be a medical genius? No, I am claiming to care about giving patients the same thoughtful care that I would want my family and friends to have. Am I claiming to have an especially kind heart? No, my heart requires constant renewal. I am claiming to want to love because He loves me. Also Wilma's beautiful smile and gentle manner make it very easy.
