Mil medicos

"One of the events I was just itching to write about this past week was fidel castro's offer to send 1,100 doctors and 25 tons - yes! 25 TONS - of medical supplies to assist in the hurricane ravaged area.

Now, if you're a Cuban exile or Cuban-American you know just what a complete farce this is. Most of us who have family still living in Cuba get requests for such simple things as aspirins. When Cubans are unfortunate enough to need to be hospitalized, they have to bring their own bed pans and bed sheets."
