An article about Socios En Salud and drug-resistant tuberculosis from the Washington Post. The saddest part:
Ángel Serrubio, who lived in the jungle town of Iquitos, said his condition was made far worse by inexperienced doctors, who gave him potent but erroneous medications that had painful side effects. He grew so sick that he told his friends he was planning to hang himself. But after being confined to bed for nine months, “I was not strong enough to commit suicide,” he said.
Fascinating. Fear of drug-resistant TB trumps AIDS and Ebola for this little American. Something tells me this will make ’swine flu’ look like a knee scrape when all’s said and done.
