Jungle Surgeon


Book Description

I have read through this book and am really inspired by all the works that Dr. Mueller has done for the Karen hill tribe. The works and experiences that he had with the Karen people in the Karen State are tremendously amazing. This book will bring great understanding for people and foreigners who want to help out, especially those who are sympathetic to the causes and needy people who still lack many things. I enjoyed reading this book. It was a blessing to us Karens that we had someone like Dr. Mueller who helped to bring humanitarian assistance to the remote areas in order to spread the gospel and make things better for others. I deeply thank him for all the works that he has done for our Karen people and other ethnic groups. -Major General Ner Dah Bo Mya, Chief of Staff, Karen National Defense Organization Dr. Larry Mueller is a pioneering physician who has the longest and most in-depth experience of any medical professional who served in the conflict areas of Burma. He donated significant professional time over twenty-five years serving in the Thai-Burmese border areas. Whether directly treating IDPs (internally displaced persons), or refugees in the border zones with his surgical skill, or training medics, he has been the most revered doctor in these areas and is considered an angel. Dr. Mueller is a brilliant surgeon who is flexible, inventive, and, above all, able to operate successfully in remote locations with very little support. Through his own surgeries and the training that he has imparted to our medics, Dr. Mueller has saved hundreds of lives and had a direct impact on healing and improving the lives of thousands more. -David Eubank, Founder and Director, Free Burma Rangers (www.freeburmarangers.org)
