Not in the cruel way, like making your kid sick by putting feces in the IV, which i have read after someone here told me about the sickness.

i dont know

i think those people do it for the attention.

if doing it to feel needed is also a reason ALONE and on its own, then she had it.

In Cuba too. Is Cuba a 3rd world? i don’t know.

any country that’s communist and not 3rd world, could go either way when you get to the hospital i guess

“Is Cuba a 3rd world? i don’t know.”

It depends on which decade you use for reference. It wasn’t in the 1950’s...

Yeah the mafia was invested big time.

I heard the casinos were the swankiest.

Mafia lost a lot of money there.

A lot of people lost their lives.

But hey, it’s all good cause Che was a hero. /s

In the Soviet Union I believe underground medicine was pretty common. Would not be surprised if in places like Cuba a sort of 3rd world mysticism medicine would happen again as a result of people having no real medicine. Lord knows in China the rogue herbalists have multiplied.
