Now I'm out here in
this gorgeous beach,
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
lots of sand.
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07
But I want to
ask you a question.
00:00:04.10\00:00:05.43
Have you ever
had a grain of sand
00:00:06.37\00:00:09.60
or some dirt in your eye,
00:00:09.64\00:00:11.67
and it's just such an
irritant, it drives you crazy.
00:00:11.71\00:00:15.08
But what now if you have
a needle put in your eye.
00:00:15.11\00:00:18.28
Today's program may not
be for the faint of heart,
00:00:18.31\00:00:21.08
but it is a great program.
00:00:21.12\00:00:22.72
Stay tuned.
00:00:22.75\00:00:24.09
Little island here.
00:00:42.37\00:00:43.71
I mean, it's kind of amazing
because they're all just coral.
00:00:43.74\00:00:47.41
Coral of every kind, shape.
00:00:47.44\00:00:49.71
But the whole
island's made out of that.
00:00:49.74\00:00:51.58
You know, it takes
a very special people
00:00:51.61\00:00:53.38
to live on places like this,
because very little rainwater.
00:00:53.42\00:00:57.09
In lot of ways
it can be dangerous.
00:00:57.12\00:00:59.12
Where are you gonna go?
00:00:59.15\00:01:00.49
There is no place
to go except by boat.
00:01:00.52\00:01:02.42
There's very little
food, very little anything.
00:01:02.46\00:01:06.73
Now if you just want
to come for a weekend,
00:01:06.76\00:01:08.36
maybe you can even rent
00:01:08.40\00:01:09.73
a little place
like this your own,
00:01:09.76\00:01:11.10
a little
getaway, be kind of nice.
00:01:11.13\00:01:13.10
But for the people
here it's a hard life.
00:01:13.13\00:01:16.07
That's why Canvasback comes
00:01:16.10\00:01:17.57
is to help these people
because it is such a hard life,
00:01:17.61\00:01:20.31
they can really
utilize outside help.
00:01:20.34\00:01:23.38
Matter of fact,
our doctors that come,
00:01:23.41\00:01:26.82
the free
surgeries that are given,
00:01:26.85\00:01:28.75
thousands and thousands of
dollars worth of surgeries,
00:01:28.78\00:01:31.45
absolutely free,
thanks to Canvasback.
00:01:31.49\00:01:34.16
So, you know, if
you'd like to participate
00:01:34.19\00:01:35.99
and be a partner in Canvasback,
00:01:36.02\00:01:37.63
we'd invite you to do that.
00:01:37.66\00:01:39.29
Because every dollar you spend
is a mission dollar well spent.
00:01:39.33\00:01:43.97
It's stretched to the max
to help these dear people.
00:01:44.00\00:01:47.30
Thank you so much.
00:01:47.34\00:01:48.67
So this is the very
last part of Nan Madol.
00:01:57.05\00:01:59.55
Yes, it's the last part.
00:01:59.58\00:02:01.35
How many years were they
constructing all of this?
00:02:01.38\00:02:04.69
About 500 years.
00:02:04.72\00:02:06.52
And when did it start?
00:02:06.55\00:02:07.89
1100 to 1600.
00:02:07.92\00:02:09.76
Okay.
00:02:09.79\00:02:11.13
Long time. Yeah, long time.
00:02:11.16\00:02:12.79
Why did they quit?
00:02:12.83\00:02:14.16
They were defeated
by some foreigners.
00:02:15.80\00:02:18.53
They say they came from east,
they came and defeated them.
00:02:18.57\00:02:22.07
All the first harvest,
00:02:22.10\00:02:24.37
before you eat your
first harvest of banana,
00:02:24.41\00:02:26.78
you have to bring it to them.
00:02:26.81\00:02:28.14
First harvest of yam,
00:02:28.18\00:02:29.74
you bring it to
them, everything.
00:02:29.78\00:02:31.41
If you caught a big fish,
you have to bring it to them.
00:02:31.45\00:02:34.32
Really?
00:02:34.35\00:02:35.68
Yeah. So...
00:02:35.72\00:02:38.49
Now that doesn't
make for a happy.
00:02:38.52\00:02:40.62
No, everyone was
really feeling bad about that.
00:02:40.66\00:02:45.46
Check out this amazing wall.
00:02:57.77\00:02:59.57
Here we are at Nan Madol.
00:02:59.61\00:03:01.48
Some of those
walls are 50 feet high.
00:03:01.51\00:03:04.21
Some of the stones
are 50 tons, 50 tons.
00:03:04.25\00:03:07.62
Look at how
intricate everything is placed.
00:03:07.65\00:03:10.99
Humans came in
and built all of it.
00:03:11.02\00:03:12.89
I think about the human eye.
00:03:12.92\00:03:14.26
Here we are with the team,
00:03:14.29\00:03:16.49
the eye doctors doing
this most intricate surgery
00:03:16.52\00:03:19.96
on the human eye yet.
00:03:20.00\00:03:21.43
Many people say
00:03:21.46\00:03:22.80
"Oh, that just happened.
00:03:22.83\00:03:24.17
The human eye just happened."
00:03:24.20\00:03:25.53
But could we say
"This just happen.
00:03:25.57\00:03:27.04
You know, the ocean
waves washed over here.
00:03:27.07\00:03:29.70
And all of a sudden
all these rocks appeared."
00:03:29.74\00:03:31.34
How many of you
would believe that?
00:03:31.37\00:03:32.81
Nobody would believe that.
00:03:32.84\00:03:34.18
Some of these rocks,
00:03:41.58\00:03:42.92
as I said earlier
are 50 tons or more.
00:03:42.95\00:03:47.09
How did they get these here?
00:03:47.12\00:03:48.46
These came all the way
00:03:48.49\00:03:49.82
from the other
side of the island.
00:03:49.86\00:03:51.36
Nothing was here.
00:03:51.39\00:03:52.73
Everything was moved to
this side of the island.
00:03:52.76\00:03:54.80
How did that happen?
00:03:54.83\00:03:56.30
Well, nobody seems to know.
00:03:56.33\00:03:57.87
The same as they don't know
how the pyramids were built.
00:03:57.90\00:04:00.40
The same as they don't know
00:04:00.44\00:04:01.77
how the larger stones of
Machu Picchu were placed there.
00:04:01.80\00:04:05.57
The intricate design
of fitting everything in,
00:04:09.61\00:04:13.01
how did it happen?
00:04:13.05\00:04:14.38
Well, today especially
00:04:14.42\00:04:15.75
when I went to school, you know,
00:04:15.78\00:04:17.12
we're taught
that's just evolution
00:04:17.15\00:04:18.49
The more time you add,
00:04:18.52\00:04:19.85
the more years you
add on to something
00:04:19.89\00:04:21.22
just everything can happen.
00:04:21.26\00:04:23.22
And we're taught that
00:04:23.26\00:04:25.39
humanity is a
growing intelligence.
00:04:25.43\00:04:27.93
Evolution, we're
evolving into greater species.
00:04:27.96\00:04:30.90
However, there
seems to be a problem
00:04:30.93\00:04:33.10
because scientists today
with all of their knowledge
00:04:33.13\00:04:35.90
have no idea how a
lot of this happen,
00:04:35.94\00:04:38.27
but let me throw
something out at you here.
00:04:38.31\00:04:41.68
There's a fellow that
wrote a book many years ago.
00:04:41.71\00:04:44.65
Secrets of the Last Races,
in there he coined the phrase,
00:04:44.68\00:04:47.88
ooh parts,
out-of-place artifacts,
00:04:47.92\00:04:50.69
out-of-place artifacts.
00:04:50.72\00:04:52.05
A young man in England
in 1800s was shoveling coal
00:04:52.09\00:04:54.92
into the furnace out,
00:04:54.96\00:04:56.89
fill a big piece of coal
00:04:56.93\00:04:58.26
and inside was a beautifully
hand tooled silver necklace.
00:04:58.29\00:05:02.60
How did that
happen inside the coal?
00:05:02.63\00:05:03.97
We're taught that
00:05:04.00\00:05:05.33
earth is millions and
millions of years old.
00:05:05.37\00:05:08.10
And the list goes on and on.
00:05:08.14\00:05:09.80
I would submit to you
00:05:09.84\00:05:11.17
that according
to the Bible story,
00:05:11.21\00:05:14.44
creation from the
hand of the Creator,
00:05:14.48\00:05:16.31
we came with extreme
intelligence from the Creator.
00:05:16.34\00:05:20.32
But after the fall,
00:05:20.35\00:05:21.88
we've gotten less and
less and less intelligent.
00:05:21.92\00:05:25.05
Hence, today,
we can't figure out
00:05:25.09\00:05:26.89
how a lot of this was done.
00:05:26.92\00:05:28.26
Check out the Bible.
00:05:29.96\00:05:31.93
Check out God, if
you don't know God,
00:05:31.96\00:05:33.50
give Him a try.
00:05:33.53\00:05:34.86
At least read the Bible,
00:05:34.90\00:05:36.46
and decide for
yourself after you study it,
00:05:36.50\00:05:38.83
after you've found out
what God's really all about.
00:05:38.87\00:05:42.20
You know, I look at all
of these massive stones,
00:05:49.74\00:05:52.08
I can't help but think
of the name of Pohnpei,
00:05:52.11\00:05:54.45
the actual meaning
of it is stone altar.
00:05:54.48\00:05:59.02
Sacrificial altar, stone altar.
00:05:59.05\00:06:01.69
Were there sacrifices here?
00:06:01.72\00:06:03.06
Well, we really don't
know. But my guess is probably.
00:06:03.09\00:06:06.06
See, most religions that
believe in some other god,
00:06:06.09\00:06:09.83
little g god, tend
to have sacrifices.
00:06:09.86\00:06:13.10
But these people came
00:06:13.13\00:06:14.47
whoever they
were, they came here,
00:06:14.50\00:06:15.84
they took over the whole island,
00:06:15.87\00:06:17.94
they quelled
every other rebellion,
00:06:17.97\00:06:20.48
every other war, and
controlled everything.
00:06:20.51\00:06:23.48
Now it's been estimated
00:06:23.51\00:06:24.85
that it may have
taken 1, 000 people a day
00:06:24.88\00:06:27.88
to construct this
island for 300 years,
00:06:27.92\00:06:31.29
300 years.
00:06:31.32\00:06:33.59
Where did all
that food come from?
00:06:33.62\00:06:35.49
Because it's been estimated,
00:06:35.52\00:06:37.29
again, that about 40, 000 people
00:06:37.33\00:06:39.19
is what would
have been in this area,
00:06:39.23\00:06:41.86
40, 000 people
will eat all the food
00:06:41.90\00:06:44.40
in a matter of a few months.
00:06:44.43\00:06:45.83
And then what happens?
00:06:45.87\00:06:47.20
Today, a ship
doesn't show up in a month,
00:06:47.24\00:06:50.61
people don't eat.
00:06:50.64\00:06:52.71
How did all this happen?
00:06:52.74\00:06:54.94
Well, we really
don't know, do we?
00:06:54.98\00:06:56.61
It is definitely hot in here.
00:07:08.12\00:07:09.79
But where is in here,
00:07:09.82\00:07:11.53
I'm actually in
a burial chamber,
00:07:11.56\00:07:13.03
the burial chamber of
the big chief of Nan Madol.
00:07:13.06\00:07:17.40
There are still
chiefs on the island today,
00:07:17.43\00:07:19.73
things are quite different.
00:07:19.77\00:07:21.17
Although if you die,
00:07:21.20\00:07:23.07
you have to go to the chief
00:07:23.10\00:07:24.44
and get permission
00:07:24.47\00:07:25.81
for the family
to bury that person
00:07:25.84\00:07:27.34
and the actual
ceremony can take 10 days.
00:07:27.38\00:07:30.95
Burial is a thing that...
00:07:30.98\00:07:32.78
Well, matter of
fact, as we grow older,
00:07:32.81\00:07:35.42
you know, we are born
and we're going to die.
00:07:35.45\00:07:37.59
That's just one of
the things that happen.
00:07:37.62\00:07:39.35
That wasn't the way it
was always meant to be.
00:07:39.39\00:07:41.32
You see, Jesus
promised us eternal life.
00:07:41.36\00:07:43.49
We were created not for time,
but we're created for eternity.
00:07:43.53\00:07:47.86
And that's what's exciting.
00:07:47.90\00:07:49.43
We don't have to
have this life be it.
00:07:49.46\00:07:52.73
We've got eternity.
00:07:52.77\00:07:54.10
The island of Pohnpei,
it's absolutely beautiful,
00:08:04.28\00:08:07.08
the people are wonderful.
00:08:07.12\00:08:08.45
There's a lot more
story to come, so stay tuned.
00:08:08.48\00:08:10.59
According to the
World Health Organization,
00:08:12.85\00:08:15.29
depression is the leading
cause of worldwide disability
00:08:15.32\00:08:19.29
that happens to a lot of people.
00:08:19.33\00:08:21.46
Are you depressed?
00:08:21.50\00:08:22.90
Have you become
discouraged lately?
00:08:22.93\00:08:25.03
The list is endless of things
00:08:25.07\00:08:26.40
that can trigger discouragement,
00:08:26.43\00:08:28.07
despair, or even depression.
00:08:28.10\00:08:30.51

Yeah, this is definitely
a different look for me.
00:09:12.28\00:09:14.42
Got on my surgery outfit.
00:09:14.45\00:09:15.95
We're here in the surgery center
00:09:15.98\00:09:17.32
in the hospital.
00:09:17.35\00:09:18.69
In just a moment,
00:09:18.72\00:09:20.06
we're going to have a
nurse anesthetist come in,
00:09:20.09\00:09:21.42
her name is Sheila,
00:09:21.46\00:09:22.79
Sheila is going to have a
patient laying right here,
00:09:22.82\00:09:25.23
going to inject a
needle into his eye.
00:09:25.26\00:09:27.30
I know that sounds like "Whoa."
00:09:27.33\00:09:28.90
But you get to be a
part of that in a moment.
00:09:28.93\00:09:31.53
Then we're going to follow him
00:09:31.57\00:09:32.90
into another surgery area
00:09:32.93\00:09:34.34
where he's going to
have cataract surgery.
00:09:34.37\00:09:36.47
Follow this, it's
going to be interesting.
00:09:36.50\00:09:38.77
And your head here.
00:09:38.81\00:09:40.14
Some patient walking in
front with the cheese bun.
00:09:45.31\00:09:47.88
Can you lay down now?
00:09:49.48\00:09:51.65
Yeah.
00:09:51.69\00:09:54.69
Perfect.
00:09:54.72\00:09:56.12
I'm going to put a few
more drops in your eye.
00:09:59.16\00:10:01.80
I'm going to put some ointment
in your lower lid, John.
00:10:08.94\00:10:12.27
Sheila, can you walk us
through what you're doing here?
00:10:16.85\00:10:18.85
Yes.
00:10:18.88\00:10:20.22
Okay, so for the
first drop is a numbing drop
00:10:20.25\00:10:24.09
because the
numbing ointment stings.
00:10:24.12\00:10:26.49
So firstly you
put the numbing drop
00:10:26.52\00:10:28.06
in for the numbing ointment.
00:10:28.09\00:10:30.06
We put the numbing ointment
in because the injection stings
00:10:30.09\00:10:33.40
so it's kind of a...
00:10:33.43\00:10:34.76
Stage now.
00:10:34.80\00:10:36.13
Progressive, exactly, numbing.
00:10:36.16\00:10:37.70
I see you've got
an X on his forehead
00:10:37.73\00:10:39.40
so everybody knows what eye.
00:10:39.43\00:10:40.77
So we know exactly
which eye. That's right.
00:10:40.80\00:10:42.84
We put an X on the forehead,
00:10:42.87\00:10:44.64
we ask the
patient first to confirm.
00:10:44.67\00:10:47.04
We check the consent form
00:10:47.08\00:10:48.64
against what the patient states.
00:10:48.68\00:10:50.61
We place this X and then
we put a name tag on that side
00:10:50.65\00:10:53.88
and all those things
help us to be 100% confident
00:10:53.92\00:10:58.79
that we're working
on the correct eye.
00:10:58.82\00:11:01.69
And, Sheila, I
guess for the audience,
00:11:03.32\00:11:04.96
what is your expertise?
00:11:04.99\00:11:06.59
I am a nurse anesthetist
00:11:06.63\00:11:08.43
and I have been
working in ophthalmology.
00:11:08.46\00:11:10.97
I've been a nurse
anesthetist for well,
00:11:11.00\00:11:14.84
over 25 years
00:11:14.87\00:11:16.30
and I've been in ophthalmology
00:11:16.34\00:11:18.17
since prior to going
to anesthesia school.
00:11:18.21\00:11:20.21
So for about 35 years
I've been involved in eyes.
00:11:20.24\00:11:23.48
Okay.
00:11:23.51\00:11:24.85
Most people would think
00:11:24.88\00:11:26.35
anesthesiology
is completely out.
00:11:26.38\00:11:31.29
But you've got a
whole different field
00:11:31.32\00:11:32.99
really very
specialized field, it seems.
00:11:33.02\00:11:36.16
I do all types of anesthesia.
00:11:36.19\00:11:37.99
I just happen to kind
of get into this niche
00:11:38.03\00:11:42.10
serendipitously by covering
for a colleague 25 years ago.
00:11:42.13\00:11:47.20
He wanted to go off,
00:11:47.24\00:11:48.57
he bought a sailboat
00:11:48.60\00:11:49.94
and he was going
to sail the world
00:11:49.97\00:11:51.31
and he asked if I would
be interested in doing this.
00:11:51.34\00:11:54.14
And I said, "Sure.
00:11:54.18\00:11:55.51
How hard can it be?"
00:11:55.54\00:11:56.88
And I soon learned.
00:11:56.91\00:11:58.25
You soon learned how hard it is?
00:11:58.28\00:12:00.12
John, do you see the photo
on the ceiling, the postcard?
00:12:00.15\00:12:04.45
Yeah, the black cat spot.
00:12:04.49\00:12:06.89
Yes.
00:12:06.92\00:12:08.26
Martha, would you be so kind
as to pump the bed up, please.
00:12:08.29\00:12:13.70
So now there are
eight muscles around the eye
00:12:13.73\00:12:16.13
that all converge in the
back into the muscle cone.
00:12:16.16\00:12:18.93
The target of this
injection is the muscle cone
00:12:18.97\00:12:21.97
so that we make
the muscles numb,
00:12:22.00\00:12:23.37
the eye can't move.
00:12:23.41\00:12:24.74
And we make the eye numb
so it doesn't feel anything,
00:12:24.77\00:12:27.88
the optic nerve.
00:12:27.91\00:12:29.28
John, you're going to
feel me touch the lower lid
00:12:29.31\00:12:31.28
of your right
eye with my finger.
00:12:31.31\00:12:33.01
So I know how long John's eye
is from the front to the back
00:12:36.15\00:12:39.89
based on a measurement
that was taken in the clinic
00:12:39.92\00:12:42.02
called the axial length.
00:12:42.06\00:12:44.59
That axial length helps me
know how to place the needle.
00:12:44.63\00:12:48.03
We should probably
tell some of the viewers
00:12:48.06\00:12:49.86
if you're
squeamish, don't watch this.
00:12:49.90\00:12:52.20
Don't try it at home.
00:12:52.23\00:12:53.57
Don't try it at home. Yeah.
00:12:53.60\00:12:54.94
True.
00:12:54.97\00:12:57.24
John, I know
you're in very good hands
00:12:57.27\00:12:58.74
with this lady though.
00:12:58.77\00:13:00.81
I retract the lower lid.
00:13:00.84\00:13:03.45
I place the needle
00:13:03.48\00:13:05.78
perpendicular to
the plane of the face.
00:13:05.81\00:13:08.98
Around the eyeball
00:13:09.02\00:13:10.35
is what's called a
periorbital fat pad.
00:13:10.39\00:13:13.36
No matter how thin you
are, we all have fat on our eye.
00:13:13.39\00:13:19.06
I just let the
needle float through that.
00:13:19.09\00:13:22.93
And now I begin to angle
back towards the muscle cone
00:13:22.96\00:13:27.07
and the optic nerve.
00:13:27.10\00:13:28.94
We can see how
his lid is starting
00:13:28.97\00:13:30.71
to go down a bit already.
00:13:30.74\00:13:32.67
That tells me I'm
exactly where I need to be.
00:13:32.71\00:13:35.54
And you've done
this how many times?
00:13:35.58\00:13:38.28
Over 30,000.
00:13:38.31\00:13:40.98
I started when I was 12.
00:13:41.02\00:13:42.85
Please don't think I'm old.
00:13:42.88\00:13:45.89
John, if this is uncomfortable,
please tell me, I'll stop.
00:13:45.92\00:13:50.49
Am I hurting you?
00:13:52.39\00:13:54.26
No.
00:13:54.30\00:13:55.63
No? Okay.
00:13:55.66\00:13:59.93
When I come on a mission trip,
00:13:59.97\00:14:01.94
I like to learn
a few basic phrases
00:14:01.97\00:14:05.11
in the native language
00:14:05.14\00:14:06.68
in the event that
00:14:06.71\00:14:08.04
people are not
available to translate.
00:14:08.08\00:14:10.85
I can say basic commands.
00:14:10.88\00:14:13.25
Just open your eyes.
00:14:13.28\00:14:14.62
Are you having pain?
00:14:14.65\00:14:16.32
And, of course, I
don't speak Pohnpeian,
00:14:16.35\00:14:18.89
that's an important phrase
00:14:18.92\00:14:20.26
in case they
begin to speak back.
00:14:20.29\00:14:22.42
So you can see how the
lid is drifting down now.
00:14:22.46\00:14:25.43
It tells me I'm
in a very good spot.
00:14:28.90\00:14:31.13
Are you okay?
00:14:34.70\00:14:36.50
All right.
00:14:36.54\00:14:38.01
I'm going to
put a few more drops
00:14:38.04\00:14:39.97
in your eye now
00:14:40.01\00:14:41.71
and give you a
little eye massage.
00:14:41.74\00:14:45.78
This might sting a
bit, Mr. John, I'm sorry.
00:14:45.81\00:14:48.75
Are you okay?
00:14:48.78\00:14:50.19
Yeah.
00:14:50.22\00:14:51.55
I think they got your best side.
00:14:51.59\00:14:54.49
I think you're a
very good patient.
00:14:54.52\00:14:56.46
Yes.
00:14:56.49\00:14:57.83
You're doing very good.
00:14:57.86\00:14:59.29
So could you read
the eye chart at all?
00:14:59.33\00:15:04.00
Or did you just see
somebody waving their hand?
00:15:04.03\00:15:08.70
Just a waving hand.
00:15:08.74\00:15:10.41
So we measure from
2020, 2400 is that big E
00:15:10.44\00:15:14.88
then the next thing we start
are "Can you count fingers?"
00:15:14.91\00:15:19.08
And then after
that, if they can,
00:15:19.11\00:15:21.08
"Can you see my hand moving?"
00:15:21.12\00:15:22.65
Okay.
00:15:22.68\00:15:24.02
How many patients
do you get in here
00:15:25.49\00:15:27.02
that that's pretty
much it just come in.
00:15:27.06\00:15:31.56
I would say probably better
than half because they don't,
00:15:31.59\00:15:34.96
you know, they don't
have access to immediate care.
00:15:35.00\00:15:37.80
So a lot of them
will let their cataracts
00:15:37.83\00:15:39.37
go and go and go.
00:15:39.40\00:15:41.94
By the time we see them,
00:15:41.97\00:15:43.30
many of them have just
00:15:43.34\00:15:44.67
this white hard
lens in their eye
00:15:44.71\00:15:47.51
that they can't
even see light through.
00:15:47.54\00:15:49.58
And I understand
here in the equator
00:15:49.61\00:15:51.58
that you can actually,
00:15:51.61\00:15:53.01
more people get cataracts
00:15:53.05\00:15:54.38
because of the sun exposure
and nobody wears sunglasses.
00:15:54.42\00:15:57.35
And they don't
wear sunglasses, right.
00:15:57.39\00:15:59.32
Mr. John, you can open this eye.
00:15:59.35\00:16:01.36
Okay.
00:16:01.39\00:16:02.72
All right. I'm going
to help you sit up now.
00:16:02.76\00:16:06.23
Can you sit up? Good.
00:16:06.26\00:16:08.26
And just bring your legs around.
00:16:08.30\00:16:11.30
There you go. And
just sit for a moment now.
00:16:11.33\00:16:13.77
Diabetes is also a huge
factor on the island here
00:16:15.30\00:16:20.88
that causes
cataracts in some people.
00:16:20.91\00:16:23.08
Okay, Mr. John, there's a step.
00:16:26.41\00:16:29.72
Take your time standing up.
00:16:29.75\00:16:33.36
And step down.
00:16:33.39\00:16:35.09
There's a step.
Step down, perfect.
00:16:35.12\00:16:38.46
And we're going to go
back now and wait for surgery.
00:16:38.49\00:16:41.53
In a few minutes
00:16:41.56\00:16:42.90
you'll go in the operating room.
00:16:42.93\00:16:44.27
Oh, yeah.
00:16:44.30\00:16:45.63
Okay. Yes.
00:16:45.67\00:16:47.00
You're all ready.
00:16:47.04\00:16:48.37
I'm just ready already, I know.
00:16:48.40\00:16:50.01
Mr. John, we're good,
but we're not that good.
00:16:50.04\00:16:53.74
You thought it was all over?
00:16:53.78\00:16:56.68
Hang on to here.
00:16:56.71\00:16:58.38
We'll see you in
the surgery room.
00:16:58.41\00:16:59.75
We're going to go around
the corner to the right here.
00:17:03.18\00:17:05.95
We've got a lot more
exciting things for you
00:17:09.02\00:17:11.09
so stay tuned.
00:17:11.13\00:17:12.46
As a leader in the
field of health in Micronesia,
00:17:16.93\00:17:20.34
Canvasback Missions
00:17:20.37\00:17:21.94
has been helping people
reverse diabetes for years.
00:17:21.97\00:17:25.77
Yes, you heard
correctly, reverse diabetes.
00:17:25.81\00:17:29.74
In addition,
00:17:29.78\00:17:31.11
we are helping to reduce
the incident of heart disease.
00:17:31.15\00:17:34.12
At least 34 million
people in the US have diabetes.
00:17:34.15\00:17:38.42
Many have no idea they have it
00:17:38.45\00:17:40.39
until it's almost too late.
00:17:40.42\00:17:42.39
Many children have diabetes.
00:17:42.42\00:17:44.63
It's time to
stop it in its tracks.
00:17:44.66\00:17:47.13
What's the key?
00:17:47.16\00:17:48.50
Certain foods, exercise
00:17:48.53\00:17:50.57
and many other simple yet
critical items are combined
00:17:50.60\00:17:54.14

It will be life changing.
00:18:14.12\00:18:15.46
I look at the market
here. It's got a lot of bananas.
00:18:18.93\00:18:22.20
Very little else.
00:18:22.23\00:18:23.57
It's one of the
larger markets in the area,
00:18:23.60\00:18:25.53
the fruit markets anyway.
00:18:25.57\00:18:27.54
But very little
00:18:27.57\00:18:28.97
and you think about all
the people on this island
00:18:29.00\00:18:31.04
and there's breadfruit,
there's, oh, you know,
00:18:31.07\00:18:34.54
the list kind of goes on
00:18:34.58\00:18:35.91
but they don't
grow too much here.
00:18:35.94\00:18:39.25
What happens if the
ships stop coming in?
00:18:39.28\00:18:42.62
People are going
to get very hungry.
00:18:42.65\00:18:44.65
You know, children of Israel.
00:18:44.69\00:18:46.76
It's kind of
interesting you look at well,
00:18:46.79\00:18:49.76
in Exodus Chapter 14,
00:18:49.79\00:18:52.59
God brought them out
of the land of Egypt,
00:18:52.63\00:18:54.66
out of the land of bondage.
00:18:54.70\00:18:56.03
Really it represents sin,
He brought them out of sin.
00:18:56.06\00:19:00.20
And then He took them up
to the edge of the Red Sea
00:19:00.24\00:19:03.04
and the Egyptian army,
those who hadn't been killed,
00:19:03.07\00:19:06.64
they're pursuing them,
00:19:06.68\00:19:08.01
600 chariots I
believe the number was,
00:19:08.04\00:19:09.78
all the chariots,
all the men of war,
00:19:09.81\00:19:11.41
they're pursuing them
00:19:11.45\00:19:12.78
to get right up to
the edge of the sea.
00:19:12.81\00:19:15.78
And God's people are,
00:19:15.82\00:19:17.15
"What are we going to
do? We're all going to die."
00:19:17.19\00:19:18.52
They were just
absolutely freaking out.
00:19:18.55\00:19:22.02
And it's very interesting
00:19:22.06\00:19:23.39
because God says through Moses,
00:19:23.43\00:19:25.19
"Fear not.
00:19:25.23\00:19:26.70
Stand still and see
the salvation of the Lord."
00:19:26.73\00:19:31.40
Then He says, "The
Lord shall fight for you.
00:19:31.43\00:19:34.94
You shall hold your peace."
00:19:34.97\00:19:36.30
In other words,
00:19:36.34\00:19:37.67
maybe a modern
translation would be
00:19:37.71\00:19:39.04
"Shut up and
just know that I'm God
00:19:39.07\00:19:40.81
and watch what I'm
going to do for you."
00:19:40.84\00:19:43.28
Well, we know at the next moment
00:19:43.31\00:19:44.68
God parted the Red Sea
through the hand of Moses,
00:19:44.71\00:19:47.42
all the children went
through on dry ground,
00:19:47.45\00:19:50.05
dry ground and then the armies.
00:19:50.09\00:19:52.52
This seems to me a little
dumb on the part of the enemy.
00:19:52.55\00:19:56.09
But enemies
usually are that way.
00:19:56.12\00:19:58.43
They proceed out
through The Red Sea
00:19:58.46\00:20:00.66
and all of a sudden
God takes His hand back
00:20:00.70\00:20:03.77
and the waves
begin crashing over them.
00:20:03.80\00:20:05.80
They drowned the
entire Egyptian army.
00:20:05.83\00:20:09.17
I think a one street
preacher in New York that was...
00:20:09.20\00:20:12.07
He was talking
about this very subject
00:20:12.11\00:20:13.98
that God drowned
the whole Egyptian army
00:20:14.01\00:20:16.01
and one atheist
came up to him and said,
00:20:16.04\00:20:18.18
"Man, don't you know,
00:20:18.21\00:20:19.55
that was the reed
sea, not the Red Sea.
00:20:19.58\00:20:21.45
And these people were going
00:20:21.48\00:20:22.82
through in just ankle deep water
00:20:22.85\00:20:24.19
and that's all it was."
00:20:24.22\00:20:25.79
He thought he had totally,
00:20:25.82\00:20:27.49
totally taken care of
this old street preacher.
00:20:27.52\00:20:29.72
Next day, he comes by
00:20:29.76\00:20:31.09
and the street
preacher's saying,
00:20:31.13\00:20:32.46
"Praise God, Hallelujah,
00:20:32.49\00:20:33.83
God drowned the
whole Egyptian army
00:20:33.86\00:20:35.20
in 12 inches of water."
00:20:35.23\00:20:37.33
You know, it's
all about perspective.
00:20:37.37\00:20:39.03
It's all about
how we look at it.
00:20:39.07\00:20:41.27
God wanted His children
00:20:41.30\00:20:42.84
to get the heavenly perspective
to keep their eyes upon Him.
00:20:42.87\00:20:47.21
He brought them
through this in Chapter 15,
00:20:47.24\00:20:50.41
they sing the song of
Moses, the song of deliverance,
00:20:50.45\00:20:53.31
the song of the
mighty power of God.
00:20:53.35\00:20:56.25
It's very interesting in
Revelation Chapter 15 also,
00:20:56.28\00:21:00.16
you know, we sing
the song of deliverance,
00:21:00.19\00:21:03.43
the children of God
00:21:03.46\00:21:04.93
stand on the sea
of glass this time,
00:21:04.96\00:21:07.76
first time, Red
Sea, now go through it,
00:21:07.80\00:21:09.36
next time stand
on the sea of glass,
00:21:09.40\00:21:11.80
and they sing the
song of deliverance,
00:21:11.83\00:21:13.57
the song to the Lamb.
00:21:13.60\00:21:15.57
Jesus is the one
who takes care of us.
00:21:15.60\00:21:17.51
He's the one who
leads us through.
00:21:17.54\00:21:19.01
But they still had a
hard time with this lesson.
00:21:19.04\00:21:22.44
He took them on out
through this desert,
00:21:22.48\00:21:25.41
this barren land,
00:21:25.45\00:21:26.78
because you see they've
been brought out of sin,
00:21:26.82\00:21:28.98
but now they
had to learn of God.
00:21:29.02\00:21:31.05
And that situation is all about
the process of sanctification.
00:21:31.09\00:21:36.02
Sanctification,
00:21:36.06\00:21:37.39
that is something we
learn as we walk with God,
00:21:37.43\00:21:40.00
how we walk with God, how we...
00:21:40.03\00:21:42.16
How we handle that situation
as we encounter problems
00:21:42.20\00:21:45.20
and tribulation in this life.
00:21:45.23\00:21:47.40
Well, they got up to...
00:21:47.44\00:21:48.77
There were three days,
00:21:48.80\00:21:50.14
I believe the
Bible records three days.
00:21:50.17\00:21:52.21
And what were they going to do?
00:21:52.24\00:21:55.18
They have no water.
00:21:55.21\00:21:56.61
Now the human body as
the doctors will testify,
00:21:56.64\00:21:59.31
the human body, you know,
00:21:59.35\00:22:00.68
it just can't do
too much without water.
00:22:00.72\00:22:03.52
And here, they said,
00:22:03.55\00:22:05.19
"God, what are you
going to do for us?
00:22:05.22\00:22:06.55
We're all going to die.
00:22:06.59\00:22:07.92
You brought us out
here in this land to die.
00:22:07.96\00:22:10.43
Absolutely die."
00:22:10.46\00:22:11.79
Well, yeah. Praise
God. He took care of it.
00:22:11.83\00:22:15.16
He brought them water.
00:22:15.20\00:22:16.53
Later on, they still
don't learn the lesson.
00:22:16.56\00:22:18.73
And they're
complaining about no food.
00:22:18.77\00:22:20.97
And, you know,
00:22:21.00\00:22:22.34
God handled that
situation as well.
00:22:22.37\00:22:23.97
Later on again, water.
00:22:24.01\00:22:25.51
And then still later on,
00:22:25.54\00:22:27.08
He brought them up to
the beautiful Canaan land
00:22:27.11\00:22:28.98
where He said,
00:22:29.01\00:22:30.35
"It's a land
flowing with milk and honey,
00:22:30.38\00:22:31.91
and I will take care of you."
00:22:31.95\00:22:34.72
The spies went
in, they came back,
00:22:34.75\00:22:36.48
the report was
00:22:36.52\00:22:37.85
"There's giants in the land.
00:22:37.89\00:22:39.22
We can't take the land."
00:22:39.25\00:22:41.19
In our own sight
00:22:41.22\00:22:42.72
we're like little
teeny grasshoppers.
00:22:42.76\00:22:45.26
They had a problem, didn't they?
00:22:45.29\00:22:46.80
You see, we're
here with an eye clinic.
00:22:46.83\00:22:50.30
Eye sight,
00:22:50.33\00:22:51.67
they were looking at themselves,
00:22:51.70\00:22:53.20
they were not looking
at the God of the universe.
00:22:53.23\00:22:56.44
Whole different situation.
00:22:56.47\00:22:57.81
God says in Isaiah,
00:22:57.84\00:22:59.17
He sits on the
circle of the earth,
00:22:59.21\00:23:00.64
and all the people
look like grasshoppers.
00:23:00.68\00:23:04.15
If God wants
you to go someplace,
00:23:04.18\00:23:06.55
God is the one
who will handle it.
00:23:06.58\00:23:07.98
God is the one
who will deal with it.
00:23:08.02\00:23:09.35
When you're sitting
on the shoulders of God,
00:23:09.38\00:23:11.95
there are no giants in the land
00:23:11.99\00:23:13.72
because our God is a mighty God,
00:23:13.76\00:23:15.32
an amazing God.
00:23:15.36\00:23:17.63
Give God that
chance in your life.
00:23:17.66\00:23:19.06
Are there giants in
your life right now?
00:23:19.09\00:23:20.83
Are there things going
on in your life right now?
00:23:20.86\00:23:23.10
Give God the opportunity.
00:23:23.13\00:23:24.90
Stand still.
00:23:24.93\00:23:26.27
God will fight for you.
00:23:26.30\00:23:27.64
Mr. John, we're
going to check your block.
00:23:30.51\00:23:32.91
Can you open your eye?
00:23:32.94\00:23:35.48
Of course not.
00:23:35.51\00:23:38.38
Now follow my finger.
00:23:38.41\00:23:40.75
Look over here
and look over here.
00:23:40.78\00:23:44.05
See how his eye has no mobility.
00:23:44.09\00:23:46.25
Yeah, so we're just removing.
00:23:49.42\00:23:51.73
Mr. John, you look like a sand
00:23:51.76\00:23:53.60
that I wrapped or I
flipped that in last week.
00:23:53.63\00:23:58.23
Are you okay?
00:23:58.27\00:23:59.60
All right. Let's go
in the operating room.
00:23:59.63\00:24:02.14
All right.
00:24:02.17\00:24:03.71
John, I like to
pray before surgery,
00:24:03.74\00:24:05.57
is that okay?
00:24:05.61\00:24:06.94
Go ahead.
00:24:06.98\00:24:08.31
Okay. Let's say a prayer.
00:24:08.34\00:24:10.51
Dear Jesus, we want
to ask for Your presence
00:24:10.55\00:24:12.41
and Your
blessing on the surgery.
00:24:12.45\00:24:14.22
We recognize You
as the great physician
00:24:14.25\00:24:15.92
and healer
00:24:15.95\00:24:17.29
and ask that You'll
guide during this procedure.
00:24:17.32\00:24:19.15
Pray for a quick healing
afterwards and good vision,
00:24:19.19\00:24:22.22
Lord. In Jesus' name, amen.
00:24:22.26\00:24:24.06
Amen.
00:24:24.09\00:24:25.76
So I don't want to disturb you,
00:24:25.79\00:24:27.13
but can you walk us through
a little what you're doing now?
00:24:27.16\00:24:28.66
Sure.
00:24:28.70\00:24:30.03
Like I said, this
calcium deposition
00:24:30.07\00:24:31.67
is kind of in a line
00:24:31.70\00:24:33.03
that goes across the
eye, kind of horizontally.
00:24:33.07\00:24:36.17
And unfortunately,
00:24:36.20\00:24:37.54
it's right in the
centre of his vision.
00:24:37.57\00:24:39.87
So what I'm doing now
00:24:39.91\00:24:41.24
is I'm just kind
of drying the surface.
00:24:41.28\00:24:43.65
And then I'm going
to take an instrument
00:24:43.68\00:24:46.05
to kind of start to gently
00:24:46.08\00:24:48.95
kind of remove that deposition
00:24:48.98\00:24:53.99
on the surface here.
00:24:54.02\00:24:57.06
She's gonna hand
me an instrument.
00:24:57.09\00:24:59.63
Take the crescent.
00:24:59.66\00:25:01.63
Yeah.
00:25:01.66\00:25:03.73
What's the actual cause of...
00:25:03.77\00:25:05.53
How does that come about?
00:25:05.57\00:25:09.20
You know, that's a
really good question.
00:25:09.24\00:25:12.34
There's a lot of causes.
00:25:12.37\00:25:14.98
It can be...
00:25:15.01\00:25:17.01
Sometimes people can
have systemic causes,
00:25:17.05\00:25:20.78
you know, if they have
problems with their kidneys,
00:25:20.82\00:25:25.45
and they have high calcium,
00:25:25.49\00:25:27.56
that can cause the
calcium to deposit on their eye.
00:25:27.59\00:25:30.79
Or if they've had a chronic
00:25:30.83\00:25:33.60
long term surface
disease in the eye,
00:25:33.63\00:25:35.96
you can get some
calcium deposition.
00:25:36.00\00:25:38.53
We'll take the fine tip there.
00:25:46.47\00:25:52.31
So like I was saying
00:25:52.35\00:25:54.82
the calcium gets
kind of deposited
00:25:54.85\00:25:56.89
within the tissue a little bit.
00:25:56.92\00:25:58.25
Okay.
00:25:58.29\00:25:59.62
So when you're removing,
00:25:59.65\00:26:00.99
trying to remove just a little
00:26:01.02\00:26:02.36
as little tissue as possible
00:26:02.39\00:26:03.73
and get all the
calcium out of there.
00:26:03.76\00:26:05.96
Everything's going good.
00:26:05.99\00:26:08.23
John, are you doing okay?
00:26:08.26\00:26:11.67
You're gonna hear a
kind of a buzzing sound,
00:26:11.70\00:26:13.37
a little vibrating sound
00:26:13.40\00:26:15.40
almost early on in
your ear can come in.
00:26:15.44\00:26:17.47
Yeah. Not
necessarily. Yeah, that's good.
00:26:17.51\00:26:22.51
How long can the
human eye stand being open
00:26:22.54\00:26:24.78
without any kind of irrigation?
00:26:24.81\00:26:27.15
That's a really good question.
00:26:27.18\00:26:28.52
You know, not too long.
00:26:28.55\00:26:31.79
That's why you'll see us
kind of put food on there
00:26:31.82\00:26:34.69
on a pretty regular basis.
00:26:34.72\00:26:36.46
We don't want to go too
long without keeping the eye.
00:26:36.49\00:26:38.93
The cornea,
00:26:38.96\00:26:40.30
especially the front
windshield is really important
00:26:40.33\00:26:42.20
to keep it from getting too dry.
00:26:42.23\00:26:43.83
Sheila is very
typical of our volunteers.
00:26:46.87\00:26:50.31
She's dedicated,
compassionate, and committed.
00:26:50.34\00:26:55.04
She's a professional
00:26:55.08\00:26:56.41
and applies her
skills with precision.
00:26:56.44\00:27:00.15
John is like so many
of our island patients,
00:27:00.18\00:27:03.75
searching for hope,
where there has been so little.
00:27:03.79\00:27:07.72
Kind, gentle and very gracious,
00:27:07.76\00:27:12.26
Canvasback is the vehicle
00:27:12.29\00:27:14.60
that has been bringing hope
00:27:14.63\00:27:16.00
and healing for
almost four decades
00:27:16.03\00:27:18.73
to people in need.
00:27:18.77\00:27:20.80
Everything we
do is made possible
00:27:20.84\00:27:23.37
through the financial
gifts of viewers like you.
00:27:23.41\00:27:26.94
And please do keep
Canvasback Missions
00:27:26.98\00:27:29.84
