Absolutely, what if the patient needed immediate surgery, and there was only a physician trained in Havana with outdated books and antique tools taken from a 1953 2 door Chevy? This opens up a can of worms, no pun intended here, the liability issue is foremost on any physician's mind in any hospital or clinic today, so who will eat the malpractice that could very easily come from this? The subsequent infection itself and later amputations could well be far worse that the initial presenting medical problem, and if these doctors treat thousands of patients, then we'll have certainly taken ourselves back to a third world medical state of affairs... I imagine each patient would have to sign a medical release of liability form, but it then becomes a jungle of paperwork, and would waivers and agreements signed by desperate and ill people hold up in court? I doubt it...
