Médecins Sans Frontières is on the front lines of the Mexican drug war

Wow, I bet! I read all the stuff they send us, it’s always full of first person accounts from people in the field. I find it fascinating. I’ve also sat in on the webinars they host (last one I was on was with the president of the board of directors, Dr. John Lawrence) and hear about what it’s like in the field, being part of MSF and all. I also spoke to the staff during our visit to the Forced From Home exhibit. IIRC, our guide was part of a logistics team who’s been going out for many years. I have this idea that it’s gotta be one helluva exhausting adrenaline rush for a straight 3+ months. Maybe kinda like going out on a tour of duty to a battleground. Except, like, with an opposite agenda.

@jra If you have any write ups about your experiences, I’d love to check them out.
