ha, if anything, the cuban doctors are performing a favour for the venezuelan people.

[elijahcraig]

Idiots.

[Zombie]

and creating a public health problem.

I wonder why...

However, the FVM president did not elaborate on why the Cuban doctors are a public health threat

There you go!

Reading the capitalist propagandist "newspapers" always makes my eyes sore (from intense rolling).

[Rastafari]

well, when you ask "is there a doctor in the house" in cuba, there like is. Thats because they have the largest doctor:Patient ratio- 159:1
conversely, they have one of the worlds lower attourneys:actual human ratio, which is probably why they are so hated by the capitalistic world

That was an idiotic statement LL. Grow up a bit. Just because you share a different political outlook does you have to disagree with every issue presented. If the cure for cancer was discovered by a cuban doctor, you would do backflips just like the rest of humanity. sincerely doubt you would compain about those filthy red cubans.
If this event did transpire you can bet your silly Aussie arse that Comrade Castro would immediately share the discovery with the golbe. I can tell you right now what the capitalist governmets would do;

Patent that discovery immediately and keep it under lock and key. Only those with enough scratch would get the cure. The rest of the population dying from cancer would be fucked.

pfffft. more like a public economic threat.....

Maybe they're afraid of Cuba's....

Surely the doctor:patient ratio is 1:19. If there were 159 doctor running round for every one person it would be a pretty scary place:)

Interesting you shoud make those commentsliberty lover. Some years back America had a meningitis B outbreak and could have done with some help from Cuba who actully had a vaccine. In fact help was offered but the US government refused

[CopperGoat]

That's a kick ass doctor patient ratio.

Hey LL

Venezuela needs doctors from a shit-hole like Cuba now?! Geez…that country truly is going to hell.

Did you see the competition Michael Moore did have between Canada, USA and Cuba in matter of health care.. Who came third?? And more importantly who Won??

Cuba won, being cheaper (actually free), faster and more effective than the opposition.. Canada came a good second having some kind of affordable health care, and the US coming last, being most expensive, having to wait longer in queue, but ok they did know how to treat patients as well, would be strange if not doctors would be able to do so..

I think that Cuba has very nice and competent doctors, at least that is what I have been told by some cuban friends that I have here in Norway.
