A pregnant girl forced to sleep on the floor because others took her bed. And she appears to be losing weight and be malnourished since the first times I met her.
Had to do a last minute DUI blood draw for the police. DUI on an ATV since there are only 6 trucks in the village. The officers had no idea about what was needed for it. We had no idea what was needed on our end. So I drew blood into some giant tubes they had in a kit, all while they watched. It was messy since you cannot clean with alcohol and our only other option is iodine. But it was sad because I knew the guy and while he was not really a friend, he was someone I had started to get to know over the summer. That was until he started acting like he had a crush on me or something and started coming by often, offering to take out my trash or take me to the store or give me rides home or bring me berries, etc. All which were declined of course.
This is just an example of a big issue in the village and probably other villages. There are a large percentage of men age 20-30 or so who are just constantly in trouble. There are no jobs for these guys really because there are so few jobs in the village. And while most still go to berry camp and help out their grandparents, they spend most of their time drinking and doing stupid things or even criminal things. They never get out or go to college or do anything to better themselves. They just drink and make babies.
I also had to draw blood on an unconscious 19 year old. It was really awkward and sad, because she was unconscious for hours and we have no idea why. Well, someone probably knows now, but there were no witnesses so unsure if it was a suicide attempt or what. But poking someone with a needle and they just do not respond.. it is tough. I hope she is okay.
So emotionally it has been a tad tough.
