When a hospital is a tent without electricity or
running water in a place accessible only by plane
before or after the rainy season, practicing medicine
might seem impossible. Yet that’s exactly where
Dr. Peter Reynaud, clinical instructor of internal
medicine and pediatrics, and Dr. Monica Dhand,
with Tulane University Health Sciences Center,
wish to continue their practice. Some of those tents
are in Darfur, South Sudan, and Bangladesh. The
organization that gets them there is Médecins Sans
Frontières (MSF) or Doctors Without Borders.
