My first experience of going abroad to volunteer with medical organisation GO-MED. Andrew Elizaga went as anesthesiologist, writer and videografer and I was photographing in the hospital and in Baguio City..

Being inside an operation room and seeing how surgeons, nurses and anesthesiologist work is so humbling. Can you imagine the responsibility that lays on their shoulders?!

Removing unhealthy parts and making people's lives less painful and more productive!

Here is Andrew filming surgery while listening to patient's heartbeat through custom earpiece. Medical professionals are very interesting people, focused and extremely intelligent.

And this is a video about GO-MED medical mission in Philippines, January-February 2013.
