Perhaps it's more acute in Albania, but maybe this will be something we can learn Brian Loshbough, nurse practitioner "We've got the same sort 'of problems of distributing health care," Loshbough said.
"Perhaps it's more acute in Albania, but maybe this will be something we can learn from." Both Loshbough and Crespo came to West Virginia to work in rural health care. Loshbough, 34, was born in the Belgian Congo in Africa. Crespo, 43, was born in Colombia. Both teach at Marshall's medical school and have experience with foreign health systems. They're hoping trips to Albania might offer some insight into their work in West Virginia.
"For me, it sharpens my skills of assessment," Loshbough said, adding that rural health care providers must rely on own medical talents when technology is lacking. "A rural West Virginia doctor has great problem-solving skills much better problem-solving skills than urban doctors," Crespo said. "They draw a lot more on their own experience. The fact that a doctor has to rely so much on her hands, ear and eyes makes her so much more sensitive." On a recent trip to Albania, Crespo visited the village of Corovode at the edge of a Muslim holy mountain. At a nearby health post, an Albanian nurse midwife told him about her practice.
But her office was barren no blood pressure cuffs, no stethoscope. Nothing. Crespo asked her what equipment she uses. The nurse midwife pointed to her eyes, ears and hands. Creative problem-solving of that type could benefit health -care providers across the United States, Crespo says.
"If health care were simply a matter of delivery, we would have hardly any problems in the U.S.," Crespo said. "But we've got problems. And the problem is people's health is not going to improve until people take responsibility for themselves." The Marshall professors are going to Albania with a mission agency called International Teams. The agency started in the United States more than 30 years ago. Its original aim was to help foreign countries' local churches grow.
In the past decade it has focused on health care. "In a country like Albania you have to rethink the concept of what is basic," Crespo says. Where do they stand? BUSH CLINTON HAL ARTZ Favors Favors 1 Favors treating strong strong social people fairly as he's defense. programs. done since 1950.

Marshall University Professor Richard Crespo from the chill. Three of the room's windows were broken. The hospital couldn't afford to replace the glass. Even if it could, there was no glass to buy. The country's only glass factory was closed.
It could no longer get raw materials. Coal was running in short supply, 100. So there was no heat. Across the room lay a sick man whose family has covered him with their own blankets and his coat. "In a country like Albania, on paper its health-care system provides coverage to the whole country, Crespo said.
"But that's only on paper." In reality, Europe's poorest country still is reeling from the 1990 revolution that ousted half a century of communist dictatorship. And recovwill be slow. But Crespo and assistant professor and nurse practitioner Brian Loshbough want to help. The two are part of an international project to help improve Albania's health-care system. Loshbough and Crespo were chosen by a missionary group to travel to Albania because of their experience with rural health care in West Virginia.

Albania resembles West Virginia in other ways, too. bank is robbed twice in a week CLEVELAND A First National Bank branch on Harvard Ave. was robbed yesterday the second time in one week. The FBI reported that a man walked into the branch at 6509 Harvard Ave.
at 11:15 a.m. and gave a threatening note to a teller. He left with an undisclosed amount of cash, walking north on E. 64th St. The robber was described as 5-foot-10, thin, fair-skinned and bearing a scar on his right jaw.
He was wearing a striped shirt, dark blue jogging pants and baseball-type cap, the FBI reported. The bank was robbed Tuesday afternoon, too, according to an FBI news release. A suspect described as 5-foot-6. 225 pounds, walked from the bank and drove away in a gray 1988 Delta 88 Oldsmobile. Yesterday's heist was the 75th this year in Cuyahoga County and the fifth since Tuesday.
CRIMESTOPPERS Lead on break-in at O.J.'s worth $2,000 CLEVELAND Crime Stoppers is seeking the public's help in finding those responsible for a July 30 break-in at O.J.'s Men's Store, 13013 Miles Ave. It was the fourth break -in at the store in recent months. In the latest theft, a surveillance camera recorded two men breaking in and stealing shirts. Anyone with information about the thefts is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 252-7463. Tipsters may remain anonymous.
Information could be worth as much as $2,000. By American standards, there are no latrines there. "They have outhouses, but the excrement doesn't go into a hole," Crespo said. "It just goes onto the floor. Then maybe once a day it's washed out." Much high-tech medical equipment can't be used in Albania because the flow of electricity is sporadic.
It is especially bad in winter, when, electricity can be cut off six or seven times a day. Nearly of schoolchildren have intestinal parasites. There is very little prenatal care and, Crespo says, virtually no postnatal care. "It's inappropriate to bring in high-tech. It's useless," Loshbough said.
"And if we take in medicines, what will they do when the drugs have run out and we're gone?" Loshbough and Crespo hope to leave Albania with something more lasting. It will come, perhaps, in the form of seminars, where Albanian doctors and nurses can learn how to teach their patients to take care of themselves and spot medical problems before they become worse.
