MEXICO 1999

The team traveled to Mexico in association with Doctors to the World located at 3654 South Ordiway, Denver, CO 0237.  The mission took place in Gutierrerz  Zamora.  This trip was an eye opener to the team about the need to have permits from the host country in place long enough prior to travel dates.

The non-functioning autoclave did not seem to be a problem for the local doctor who used alcohol to set our instrument in flames for sterilization.

Number of cases: 48
Members of the mission: Medhat Allam, MD, Ravi Kothuru, MD, Robert Mineo, CRNA, Kristen Forte, RN, Michael Sherwood, CRNA
