The NY Times Magazine has a powerful photo essay in today's issue concerning a 'Doctors Without Borders' type group called RAM (Remote Area Medical) that typically sends medical volunteers on missions to nations like Tanzania, Guyana, and others, but now finds itself doing more and more work in the United States. The photos show the doctors working at the Wise County Fairgrounds in Virginia, donating their services to folks without medical insurance. People are shown sleeping in their trucks/tents waiting to get into the Fairgrounds in hopes of getting care. Not all are seen, and the photomontage is powerful stuff. One of the ER doctors who has volunteered at RAM for the last four years states 'If you spend a day here, you see there's something wrong with healthcare in this country'... Quite ironic that a group like this has to work in the US.... Regards, John
