Hundreds Line up for Free
Health Care
|
|
Volunteers for RAM, the U.S.
medical charity, travel from state to state delivering free healthcare, and
rent community centers for a day in each place they visit. When they arrive
at the community center in Tennessee at 3 a.m. to start a long day’s work, they
find hundreds of people already waiting in line. These people are all in need
of medical help, but too poor to pay for it. Many have slept in the parking
lot overnight, as they know that if they arrived any later, they might miss
their chance to see the charity’s doctors, and eye specialists. Soon everyone
is inside the community center, and the doctors start doing an initial health
screening. More than 50 dental chairs are set up and all are soon full.
Volunteer dentist Danny Chacko says that poor, whether they work or not,
simply can’t afford to pay for expensive procedures like having a tooth
pulled. He’s been on many RAM expeditions before and hopes that the
number of volunteers will increase. “Let’s not forget the people who need
this kind of care… that could just as easily be one of us sitting in that
chair.”
At the far end of the community center, eye specialists are performing
various vision tests. Ophthalmologist
Paul Wittke says the RAM clinic can grind out more than 300 pairs of new
prescription glasses a day. That’s our biggest thing, I think. We help a lot
of people out with their glasses,” says Wittke.
