Agree, it is *not* a bad mission. But, a mission that could be conducted in NY, LA, Houston, Kansas City, or Dallas with much netter results.
I think the navy faces a much smaller chance of malpractice lawsuit in latin america.
Hell if they tried to land in NYC there would be 50 people looking to get treated and 250 John Edwards clones with cameras..
In what way? Indigent and poor people already have free access to the hospitals in those communities. We're providing medical care to many peoples who don't have access to ANY medical facilities whatsoever and in a lot of cases may even be the last time they ever have contact with a qualified physician..........I don't begrudge the recipients of this mission a thing.
Amen. Just seen a story where a famous doctor left a high priced practice to go out on the streets and give medicine and health care to kids. I know plenty of people who are having a very hard time now.Does anybody really give a damn?
How would you sail the Comfort to Dallas?
