One morning, a Swedish orthopedist surgeon packs his suitcase and along with his wife, who is a nurse, he leaves for an Ethiopian region where doctors are scarce. Furious with his country’s red tape, he decides to find the true meaning of the Hippocratic Oath, seeing more than 100 patients per day. Can human will be more effective than the appropriate material infrastructure and wealth? And is it possible that a person with good intentions turns into an autocrat?
