Cancer all around us...
I have three patients who are waiting for pathology results to find out if they have cancer or not. Most likely they do. Cancer is even worse here because there are so few resources. They have to go to the big city and try to get into the ONE Cancer League program that many have not been accepted to. I'm not sure what their criteria are, but we have had a few people come to us after being refused there and we basically offer them unofficial hospice services. Since no one has medical insurance, pretty much the rich can get chemo and radiation and the others just suffer. Its so frustrating to feel like you are practicing medicine with your hands tied behind your back. You can talk until you're blue in the face, but you can't reach out and do anything. I guess that's when we have to pray and ask God to do the reaching out...

Lord Jesus, come as you did when you were here on Earth. Hear the cries of the Honduran people and arise to be their Healer. Give Renee and the other doctors and staff there the authority to call forth the healing you won for us on the cross. Let the name of Jesus echo thru the land because you have come to redeem Honduras body, soul and spirit. In the powerful name of Jesus we pray together in agreement, Amen.
