Mar 31, 2010: Nepal's Hawkeye Pierce

In Nepal, where medical facilities are limited, especially in rural areas, there is a master surgeon called Dr Sanduk Ruit. He's an eye specialist, and my reference to Hawkeye pierce is that he does production line (meatball) surgery, in tents, with limited equipment, and has restored the eyesight to between 3 and 4 MILLION people.



Quote:
Once condemned by the international medical community as unthinkable and reckless, this mass surgery 'in the bush' started spreading from Nepal to poor countries worldwide nearly two decades ago.
But like Hawkeye, he just said to the critics, quiet down I'm trying to work here, and work he did, proving he could help millions.
Fuck cancer and blindness.

Some great pictures. (scroll down)
