From Bryan Doyle: Once we finally made it to the Hospital, Dr. Elmer gave us a tour. He's an amazing man, he has been here for 7 years building up this hospital. He's a surgeon working in the worse conditions you can imagine, saving lives everyday. We met this fellow, who has TB in his colon. As you can see he's in pretty bad shape. The saddest part is, it only takes a bit of medicine to fix him right up. The medicine was not available locally so Dr. Elmer had to use his network to get some brought in. It is expected sometime this week, but the boy only has about a week to live, so we pray that the timing works out.
