Treating patients with severe vein disease in Honduras

Just returned from Honduras. In collaboration with Dr. Lindy Mchutchison under the auspices of the Hackett-Hemwell-Patterson Foundation we treated 100 patients with severe leg ulcers in two days. Patients with leg ulcers related to venous insufficiency who had been treated three months earlier had improved significantly. We took samples from patients with ulcers that have not improved to try to determine the underlying causes.
