​Dr. Simes loved his job at the clinic in Haiti. He was one of the few neurologists the country had. In the eyes of his agony stricken patients he is irrevocably the best at what he does. The conditions of Dr. Simes patients varied greatly. Some conditions are mild whereas other patients of his are terminally ill, in vegetative states, or too immobile to leave the confides of their subsidized homes to seek treatment. The perpetual truth of the situation is Dr. Simes is not able to save many people. The large majority of the Haitian population is part of proletarian status. The ideology of the doctor rests on the hope that the liberalist in Haiti will concoct some type of plan that’ll improve the health care of the people. Dr. Simes has a patient named Leila with a condition that can be described as, intermittent swelling of her right leg following standing for any prolonged period. With a relatively easy treatable problem you’d think the doctor would have no trouble treating her. But the doctor isn’t authorized to treat her because her condition isn’t severe enough. Leila was stuck in a hideous medical limbo. This is just another example of the consequences of lack of healthcare in the country. Another patient of his named Felicia was using a respirator to breathe, but when she need emergency heart surgery the committee within the clinic had to gestate on the idea whether or not they could afford to pay for her surgery. The visibility of many of his patients rests on whether or not the clinic can afford them. The sad thing about it is through the committee set up the clinic to help the people they have no qualms about turning away people who are on the brink of death. It is important to remember that much of the country come Yeoman families, and they aren’t educated highly. We must approach these issues in a calm, reasoned manner and strip away some of the overblown rhetoric. Dr. Simes is one of these people who plan to do that.
