Clinics in the mudslide region

Homes flooded out by the mudslides in Cusco

Should a surgeons and anaesthesists run clinics in Peru? Well the people there seemed to think it was ok as long as we were Canadian doctors. Very different experience, but worth the trip. Especially working in the areas flooded out in the mud slide region in Cusco. Can you imagine losing your home and living in a tent for 3 months!!!
