Primary Care for Internally Displaced People

I did medical consultations in one of the nearby refugee camps today. The work was different than my usual daily activities as technical reference/supervisor for the HIV/AIDS clinic. The work today had more in common with my old job in NYC:

Most common chief complaint in Kenyan refugee camp: back pain.
Most common chief complaint in Upper Manhattan primary care practice: back pain.

Biggest challenge in Kenyan refugee camp: skin rash in the under-five crowd.
Biggest challenge in Upper Manhattan primary care practice: multiorgan failure in the over-80 crowd.

Medicine most commonly dispensed in Kenyan refugee camp: Acetaminophen.
Medicine most commonly dispensed in my upper Manhattan primary care practice: Acetaminophen.

Average documentation per consult in Kenyan refugee camp: one line (hand-written).
Average documentation per consult in Upper Manhattan primary care practice: two pages (typed, 10-point font).

Average number of medicines dispensed per patient in Kenyan refugee camp: one.
Average number of prescriptions per patient in Upper Manhattan primary care clinic: seven (likely a gross underestimate in my clinic, aka Polypharmacy Central).
