San Marcos Rocnimac is a remote Mayan village that lies along the Rio Negro near the Siera Chama Mountains. They have no road and have called us on several occasions for emergency medical flights.
In this video, a woman is being carried by her family in a hammock to the GCA Skymaster, N538JP, for transport to the clinic in Playa Grande. Neither the husband nor the patient spoke Spanish, so another male family member went with me. As soon as we landed, they tried to make for the nearest witch doctor (Brujolo) but I cajoled them into going with the doctor in the ambulance that came to meet us at the airstrip.
