We visited two different hospitals while in Quito. While in the childrens' hospital, we put on srubs, were told which floors we could visit, and were sent off to talk to people on our own. Many things surprised me. Perhaps the biggest one was how many people were there. Each room had about 4 patients, but almost every patient had someone there visiting them. Another thing is how open everyone was. We were able to ask about what happened, how long they had been there, how that affects school, etc.This little boy in the photo was adorable and kind. He had broken a bone, so that's why he was in the hospital. He played soccer with us, tried to take pictures with my camera, and tried to share his snack with us.
