This is a video of a 60 year-old man with a herniated stoma. He had recently suffered a bowel obstruction, and recieved emergency surgery. Unfortunatly he cannot get the surgery needed to correct his hernia, let alone his colostomy reversal. He is like many uninsured people in Costa Rica, they recieve emergency treatment, but because they are uninsured many are denied follow-up medical attention.
