MUNGO EATS Latin America

The countdown has begun.  We are scheduled to open the new clinic on Monday morning,  April 25th.  The clinic is ready, the shelves are mostly stocked  (still a little short on food, but that ‘s okay).  The exam rooms are ready.  We have all our furniture.  We are still working on getting some art for the reception area, but we know which direction we are going with it now (that’s a big step).

Today we were trained on how to use our new digital xray machine, and let me tell you, it is a super slick machine.  When I graduated from vet school, taking xrays was a 20-30 minute process.  Things got faster when automatic processors became mainstream.  Now you did not have to sit in the dark room, you could just feed the film into the processing machine and it would move the film through the developing process without you having to time it, etc.  The 20-30 minute process was cut down to about 10-15 minutes.  Our time frame now…about 2 or 3 second…SECONDS.  We take the picture and look up at the screen and there is the picture.  AMAZING!!!  Not only that, but we can manipulate the image once we have it.  We can zoom in on areas of interest and change the contrast, etc, etc.  It is just fantastic!!!  I love my new toy A LOT!!

We will FINALLY get our electrical inspection tomorrow and following that, our final inspection.  Our oxygen tanks come tomorrow, and we are then ready to open the doors.  I read an article a little while ago about a clinic in the north end of Calgary, that had their doors open for three days before the first client came in.  I hope we don’t have to wait that long to see client number one, but we will see.
