The days of big strike are over.

The days of big strike are over. This caused a major financial hole in our clinic. Many indigenous people left their villages with their families or left their own wife and children in Puyo, and drove with flying flags on trucks to Quito for the protests. Now the patients are coming back to our clinic, like this Huauran woman with her knee problems. In the state health system, they are not taken seriously and many times are discriminated against. They are easily recognizable from afar due to the big holes in the ears - it should be recognized as a beauty symbol of this ethnic group.
