Bullwinkle, That's just what I was thinking. I know it's not a realistic idea, but I thought the same thing. I was going to talk with Emily about it, back when. Not sure if it would be Fred's cup of tea.
Could you imagine if a sister city relationship could actually happen, with medical personnel providing free services? In a nation where we are regularly encouraged to think of socialist countries as "bad", it would make for some interesting headlines nationally and could change the face of Puna healthcare for the better. I'm sure the clinic wouldn't mind a full time doctor on staff.
Much as I would like to see expanded, free healthcare here, it's probably just a pipe dream. I would think they'd consider helping us, if our politicians would allow the curtain to be lifted a bit.
Anyway, it's an interesting idea, eh?
Aloha,
Lee
