What happens when you take a $75,000 anesthesia machine from a
hospital in the developed world and drop it in a 3rd world hospital that
suffers an average of 16 power outages a month and has no spare parts?
What seems like a really cool charitable donation to a needy 3rd world country is not only useless … is downright dangerous.
It is NOT GOOD when your anesthesia machine stops working while your
belly is wide open. The machines break down and end up in a back room of
the hospital in a First World Medical Technology Graveyard.
