My name is Elias Chacin and I'm a Medicine student trying to learn and practice medicine in a country without medicines. It sounds weird, right?
I live in Venezuela, a South American country, that right now is in the middle of the worst political and economical crisis in the history of the country. There is an 80% of deficit in medicine supply, the inflation rate was over 700% only this year, there are around 20.000 violent deaths each year and this is just a poor introduction to this chaos.
My plan is to share with you my experience in this chaos, I'll try to explain with words what its like to tell a mother that in the biggest hospital of the state we have no medicines for her epileptic children; what you feel after seeing, in one night, seven patients die because they have months without medicines; what it is like to have a gun pointed at your head because a criminal wants you to save his partner from dying after receiving 7 gun shots, and be threatened to receive way more than seven if the patient dies.
Altought, you can always look for the bright side of the crisis, and that is what I'm trying to do. Living in a super violent country, studying in a public hospital and loving traumatology is a great combination, the amount of patients I attent every day is huge, and our laws and education system allows me to do lots of small (and not-so-small) procedures that I will, in time, show you.
I hope you all enjoy my post and if you have any doubts of the situation in my country I will gladly explain to you.
See you in the next post.
