When we arrived at the clinic with the bus the people were lined up outside the building meant to be the clinic-some waited overnight to be first in line. Many would have to wait for hours to go through the process and most were very patient. A couple of women walked 7 hours through the mountains to have their eyes checked or see a doctor. They asked if they could jump the queue because they were afraid they would not be able to make it back home before dark. The patients were just like us North Americans in that they would get very annoyed if someone got ahead of them. But they were okay with this one exception.
