PUERTO LA CRUZ, VENEZUELA - APRIL 15, 2016: Creative doctors rigged homemade devices using recycled soda bottles and water jugs as weights to treat patients with broken legs. Hospital Universitario Dr. Luís Razetti is one of the worst state-run, public hospitals in Venezuela.  Doctors compare it to working in a war zone - they regularly have to turn patients away, because they don't have the majority of medicines  or medical equipment and supplies needed to give them medical attention.  When they do accept patients, they have to work with extremely limited resources, because they don't have the supplies they need for things like X-Rays,  and many exams nd operations.  The hospital's infrastructure is crumbling, and staff don't have all the cleaning supplies required to keep the hospital sanitary. The hospital also suffers from weekly shortages of running water and electricity.  In April, several babies died when a power outage turned off the incubators, and the hospital's generator failed to work because of lack of maintenance.  The same month, authorities found over 100 pieces of medical equipment, stolen from the hospital in the home of the assistant to the hospital's director.  Despite having the largest oil reserves in the world, falling oil prices and wide-spread government corruption have pushed Venezuela into an economic crisis, with the highest inflation in the world and chronic shortages of food and medical supplies.
