Injustices with an Angel!!

If Angel Luis had been born in the US, his family would have been able to file a malpractice lawsuit, but he was born in Cuba, where there is no justice and a healthcare system that is criminal at best. Born with tumor in his liver, had his leg amputated during surgery and had in intestines perforated and had to use a colonoscopy bag for 11 months. He is only two years old!! Angel lives in extreme poverty and lacks proper medical care.

I wonder how useful idiot Michael Moore would explain this one. Angel's mother writes a blog, "Injusticias con un Angel" (Injustices with an Angel), where she documents the day to day struggle to help her son survive in a country with no future. http://injusticiasaunangel.blogspot.com/

WikiLeaks cables highlight Cuba's health care issues

In one Cuban hospital, patients had to bring their own light bulbs. In another, the staff used "a primitive manual vacuum" on a woman who had miscarried. In others, Cuban patients pay bribes to obtain better treatment.
Those and other observations by an unidentified nurse assigned to the U.S. diplomatic mission in Havana were included in a dispatch sent by the mission in January 2008 and made public this month by WikiLeaks.
Titled "Cuban healthcare: Aquí Nada es Facil'' -- Nothing here is easy -- the cable offers a withering assessment by the nurse, officially a Foreign Service Health Practitioner, or FSHP, who already had lived in Cuba for 2 1/2 years.

Dozens of Mental Patients Died of Starvation and Hypothermia in a Havana Hospital



These images licked to the internet, paint a gruesome picture of what is the Cuban experience. You would expect to see images like these in the Jewish holocaust archives, but this is not Nazi Germany, this is Cuba, January 2010.

Dozens of psychiatric patients perished inside the walls of the hospital known as Mazorra in Havana city, Cuba. They died from starvation and hypothermia. The people entrusted to care for them stole the food, blankets and mattresses that were supposed to be used for the patients. The bodies had signs of severe neglect, bruises and torture.

I can remember the fear we all had at the mere mention of this hospital. It is know to the average Cuban as a place of torture used by the Castro Regime to persuade agitators and contra revolutionaries. Opening these doors is opening the gates of hell. Someone in my own family was sent there, just for speaking out against the regime.

Never forget!
