EVE YALOM: How are you?

PATIENT: Well, now after the visit…things are fine.

EVE YALOM: How did you find out about this program?

PATIENT: I was seen at San Jacinto health center, had a PAP, and when the results came back, thank God, that led me back here today, where I was just seen. (At first, I was going to be referred to a national hospital).

EVE YALOM: How did things go here?

PATIENT: I received a lot of caring attention today. They did an exam. They just did Cryotherapy, thank God I came, they also did a biopsy and they're going to give me the results. I never expected such excellent care.

ART LEVIT: - (to patient's husband) thanks very much for bringing her and thank you (to patient) for allowing us to have this interview.

PATIENT: (to Eve) - Is your group staying longer or leaving?

EVE YALOM: - Yes, we're leaving soon--heading for Peru. We've spent a week here in El Salvador.

PATIENT: - and you're returning next year, right?

EVE YALOM: - Yes, in six months.

PATIENT: - How will people know where you're going to be back, and when?

ART LEVIT - We'll be returning near the end of May. You can check here at the clinic for the exact dates.

PATIENT: - I'm asking because I want to take advantage of the next time you come.

EVE YALOM: - You can come here to San Jacinto anytime. They are participating in a training program, and they were involved in what we have done today.
