As he visited 20 hospitals from the 17th parallel to the Gulf of Siam, he was struck by the fact that some 85% of admissions were for disease and accidents. Some of the ac cidents involved gasoline burns. Because the cost of charcoal and kerosene has soared, some Vietnamese have tried to make do with stolen gasoline; hundreds have been burned in the resulting explosions.
