Doctor Volunteers Service at clinic in Tonga Dr. Carl Bell, a member of the Utah County Medical Society, opened at clinic in Tonga last January to provide volunteer care to local islanders. According to a 1987 survey by the American Medical Association, Associa-tion, physicians, like Bell, are continuing to provide substantial amounts of charity care, even though the financial burden for providing such care may be increasing. in-creasing. The study showed 17.6 of all physicians provide uncompensated care. Physicians in the West averaged 5.9 hours per week. "Carl is one physician who has far surpassed the national average. He is a gifted doctor and he shares that gift. He is one of the many doctors in the county who give of their time and substance sub-stance to improve the health of those in need," Dr. Stanley Green, president of the Utah County Medical Society said. Bell, a family physician with a private practice in American Fork, and his wife, Carol, along with their nine children flew to the South Pacific island kingdom of Tonga for a school term to provide pro-vide medical care. 'We had been thinking about doing something like this for a year prior to going. We were looking look-ing for a different cultural experience ex-perience and the challenge of froiner without the usual comforts we enjoy here. We wanted to find a place that needed volunteer medical care. But mostly we were trying to find a way to have dinner din-ner at night with all nine children," Bell said. While practicing in American Fork, some Tongan patients encouraged en-couraged Bell to go to Tonga. Bell and his family arranged the trip on their own. According to Bell, just prior to arriving in Tonga they were notified that their housing arrangements had fallen through. They went to the "Friendly Isles" without housing or any arrangements ar-rangements of where Bell would work. When the Bells arrived in Tonga they were taken into people's homes and treated very generously, Bell said. While in Tonga, Dr. Bell opened a clinic for the local is-; is-; landers, volunteering his services to patients who would often come to his home and wait quietly in the driveway for him to notice their presence. "My most enjoyable medical memory in Tonga was when I was , . awakened at 3:00 a.m. to check on a neighbor's sister who had just delivered a baby. The neighbor said something did not seem right It turned out there was a second identical iden-tical twin yet to be delivered. It came breech, with a prolapsed umbilical um-bilical cord," according to Bell. Neighbor children stood wide-eyed wide-eyed as the American doctor had to reach up inside and pull the baby out by the feet. She was the mother's fourteenth child, and Dr. Bell's wife now has a namesake in Tonga, Bell said. "Most medical care on the islands is-lands is rendered at the hospitals. The people do not go unless they are quite sick. They often wait all day to be seen. Unfortunately, many die from illness which would be readily treatable in the United States," Bell said. While in Tonga he saw his first cases of leprosy, dengue fever and typhoid, Bell said. "In Tonga, medical care is free, but the technology and funds are very lacking. The hospital ran out of intravenous fluids and am-picillin am-picillin (their main antibiotic) for W - rm, mm itff . if VSggjnin.

When completed in 1993, visitors will experience a unique part of Orem's past as they stroll landscaped memory gardens and enjoy the home's historic architecture mirrored mir-rored in a placid reflecting pond on the grounds. Orem's traditions.iire important to Tom Sanderson, who will serve as the mortuary's funeral director. For the past 20 years, Mr. Sanderson has provided sensitive service to CTvr The Bell Family over a week while I was there," Bell said. According to Bell, the quality of medical care is very impressive for what they have, but physicians are paid low on the government salary scale so they all have to make their real living by farming or running some other business. MostTongans who go to medical school in a foreign country do not return to practice in their homeland due to financial reasons," Bell said. While in Tonga and since his return, Bell has helped arrange visits of two ophthalmologists, a general surgeon, a urologist, and two dentists to render volunteer LDS Church new radio programs Four new radio public affairs programs produced by the Public Affairs Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Latter-day Saints address the topics of aging, fatherhood, personal preparedness and adoption.

Not just materially but with whatever skills we had," Mrs. Bell said. Besides wonderful friends and memories, the Bells left behind be-hind food, medicines, a bicycle, teaching materials, bedding, fans and clothing. 'We went with about 60 boxes of goods, and returned with twelve," Carl Bell said. When asked what he learned from his experience in Tonga Dr. Bell said, "Take satisfaction not in what you have, but in what you share...and do not sleep under the coconut trees." distributes Times and Seasons, an award- winning series of 30-minute public affairs programs dealing with important im-portant moral and social issues, has been broadcast since 1988, said L.
