Originally from Cien Fuegos, Hernandez has also worked in Angola and the Carribean, spending 2 years in each location.  Here he is giving Antolin Sosa Chacon a check up.  Chacon, bed ridden for 4 days, fell down a hill and had yet to seek medical attention.  Dr. Hernandez believes he suffered a broken wrist and possibly a dislocated knee.
