Amputating a landmine victim in a border clinic. This villager stepped on a landmine probably left by Burmese army. Burmese army usually placed anti-personal mines after they cleared or burnt ethnic villages in order to deter villagers from coming back. This villager was lucky to be a alive. Amputation was done without general anesthesia. I believe they use Ketamine and Morphine. Burma has probably the highest or second highest landmine victims after Cambodia.
