This is a good time to do some experimentation and at the same time get some hand on experience on dirt poor Cambodian population!
Talking about guinea pig! Ahhahhah
The equipments got to be expensive to own. That is why they are flying it all over the places.
ATTENTION:
CAMBODIA FOR SALE!
SALE OR LEASE TO USA IS BETTER THAN BE VIETCONG SERVANT,WAKE UP KHMER PEOPLE!
Well, we are open for all, just apply quickly while supply last. First comes, first serves.
I am the eye surgeon shown in the photograph. I am sorry you think this is experimental surgery or for practice. In fact, the surgeons who volunteered are among the most experienced and well trained in the world. Cambodia has only 8 fully trained eye surgeons. With a new resident training program that number will soon be doubled, and then doubled again. For the benefit of the Khmer people, and of all people. ( www.orbis.org ) No guinea pigs. Please get your facts straight, and help make the world a better place. Peace...
