Casualties in Africa

...this is the embrio of a dream conceived by sleep-deprevation
discussed in an old state hospital hidden between older mountains in South Africa
over cold coffee mugs and empty Tupperware containers
where patients sleep on floors and nurses write on beds and doctors protest for gloves

...providing basic medical care to the neediest of the suffering
working too long in forgotten buildings without proper equipment
wondering why we keep on doing it to ourselves at this hour in the morning
keeping our morale high when nobody else seems to care is nothing new or novel

...this blog aims to engage you in dialogue with the rest of the brave
who want to persist, care and comfort without acknowledgement or proportional rewards
come share your experience, opinions and advice of your dramas in traumas
let us address the emergencies in our continent's fatal wards
