A few years ago I had the chance to meet with and speak to a group of physicians and university professors in Lima, Peru who had fled Venezuela knowing the troubles that would be coming down under a Chavez regime. All of them echoed your sentiments. Unfortunately, they also almost all agreed that it would now take at…

I have a friend who was with an international medical aid group that went into the Venezuela with thousands of doses of malaria medication. On the very first night in the country the medication was stolen, along with their vehicles and other equipment. Less than a week later Venezuelan “medical authorities” attempted…
