Health care professionals and medical students from both sides of the southern border are volunteering to help keep asylum seekers safe and healthy while their lives are in limbo, Julie Watson reports for the Associated Press. The situation at the border “has thrust volunteer doctors into new and unusual roles where they often have to improvise while working with limited donated medications and equipment and dealing with non-medical issues. Besides giving patients a pill for pain relief, the doctors might need to direct them to legal help for their cases while offering a listening ear as a kind of therapist to a population suffering deep trauma from violence that forced them to flee their homelands.”
