castro's 'doctors' killing off their patients
It sounded too good to be true. Free medical care, courtesy of fidel castro in all his dictatorial benevolence. castro, after all, unlike the evil capitalists, manufactures doctors by the bushel. He turns them out, he is a regular doctor-making machine. In fact, anyone can be a Cuban doctor. Never mind that there are no bandages to train doctors with, or working machinery or medical tools. Somehow, socialism in all its good intentions overcomes all of those minor training matters. And free medical care is meant to flow from Pakistan to Bolivia to Katrina New Orleans. All because of fidel's benevolence.
We did focus on how Cubans themselves were denied medical care because all of castro's doctors were in Venezuela. For all we know, they dodged a bullet.
It sounded too good to be true because it was too good to be true. Turns out castro's doctors are killing people. Another death from routine - routine! - castroite cataract surgery was reported in Zulia state in Venezuela. And Venezuelans are outraged. The item is here.
When medical care is "free" you get what you pay for.

Yeah, I just freaked when I saw the item! I am amazed it took so long to get out, but i am glad it is. Chavez will probably try to jail the paper for this.

At the very least, if he doesn't start jailing those doing the accusations!
