Many have been murdered, beaten and robbed.

A new charge, any cites?

They are poorly compensated and Venezuelan doctors claim that they
are poorly trained.

Any cites to substantiate that claim?

Start by reading the speech Chavez gave where he condemmed the murder
of a Cuban doctor.

It's your claim, you provide the cite.

Here is one I turned up in a quick search -

Ok, that's one in 72,000 or 0.001389%. All numbers taken from your
article.

I did read a report about Chavez mentioning a particular murder of a
Cuban doctor in a speech. It was newsworthy in that he rarely admits to
any sort of problems publicly.

Seriously, they aren't all serving in remote rural areas. Some are
posted in very dangerous urban neighborhoods, the likes of which don't
exist in Cuba, where violent crime is prevelent.

No doubt, there are, indeed, some very dangerous barrios in every large
town. Caracas has two really nasty ones that I was repeatedly advised to
stay clear of. Nor is it a surprise they exist.

150 years of foreign enslavement by the U.S. Government and corporations
have kept Venezuela in turmoil with repeated riots, military takeover,
dictators, and socialists. Read "Shock Doctrine" which focuses on
Chile. The policies were carried out in "Gran Columbia" a century before.

Are you aware that Venezuela, like Panama, was part of Gran Columbia
before the US shattered the nation to obtain a legal pretext for
ownership to build the canal?

Stop blaming the Latins for events caused, directly, by the United States.

And I'll wager that these Cuban docs are far from street wise.

I'm not a bookie.
