Praying to the god Ochún to cure leukemia,
Mr Otrupo’s seven-year-old daughter, Yansaire, was suffering from leukaemia and the city’s hospitals had run out of cancer drugs. The deliveryman was hoping that the gods could succeed where the Socialist state had failed.
The 43-year-old is one of thousands of Venezuelans turning to black magic in a frantic attempt to treat their ailing loved ones amid growing shortages in the collapsing Left-wing country.
One thing for sure: The richest woman in the country, Hugo Chávez’s daughter María Gabriela, won’t be relying on Ochún when she’s ailing.
Parting question,
What became of all those Cuban doctors that went to Venezuela?
All the doctors defected like all the good athletes, who got tired of being underpaid slaves for Castro. The real question is why does the world protect these rotten left-wing governments and try to ignore what is happening? Venezuela is going into a phase of massive death due to the horrible conditions that the Chavistas have created. It’s like the Rwandan massacre all over again. Nobody wants to get involved.
But . . . but . . . free healthcare!
