Diabetic says ironically will have to go
to Venezuela for treatment
SANCTI SPÍRITUS,
Cuba, December 15 (Ana Margarita Perdigón,
Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org)
- Erick Pérez Lara, who suffers from
chronic diabetes, says ironically that he'll
have to go to Venezuela to get his needed
treatment.
Pérez Lara said he needs an insulin
injection every four hours and that the
local hospital is supposed to provide him
with all the material so he can treat himself
at home: the drug, syringe, alcohol and
cotton. He said the hospital now has only
the cotton.
"He no longer wants to leave the house
because he fears what might happen to him
on the street," said his brother, Elvis.
"It looks like he'll have to go to
Venezuela for treatment."
Lara's remark was a reference to the thousands
of Cuban doctors who have been sent to Venezuela
under a Cuban-Venezuelan agreement.
