EEG Machine<\/p>\n
When in Romania, I would often visit hopitals, clinics, and other medical facilities to find out their needs.<\/p>\n
On one trip, I visited a children\u2019s neurological clinic, met the doctor, and found out they had need for carpet and paint. We shipped these items to them in the next container.
\nOn my next trip, I went to visit them again and the doctor told me that she did not want to impose on me but wanted to show me their 15 yr old EEG machine. I can just say that it was in terrible shape, but that they were still trying to use it.
\nOn returning home, I put the word out for an EEG machine and tried to find one for 6 months. Nothing happened.<\/p>\n
Six months later, I was on my way back to Romania. I boarded the flight from New Orleans to Atlanta and \u201cjust happened to sit with two ladies (nurses) on their way to a seminar in Atlanta. As we sat and talked, they found out that I was on my way to Romania and wanted to know all about what we did there.
\nAs we were leaving the plane in Atlanta, one of them said \u201cJohnny, there has to be something we can do to help you\u201d. I quickly told them about my need for an EEG machine and what it was for. I left them and never heard from them again.<\/p>\n
I was gone to Romania for about 2 weeks. Several weeks after I returned from the trip, I had an email from a neurologist in Greenville, S. C.
\nIn her email, she said that she had read, in a medical journal, about what we did and about my need for an EEG machine. She stated that they had one only 2 years old, in perfect working order, and would like to donate it. I drove to Greenville on a Monday, back home on Tuesday, and shipped it in a container the following Saturday. It has been a blessing to hundreds of children.<\/p>\n
