Dr. Espinosa accepted the challenge and, after a year of preparation with Ms. Falcone in collaboration with medical student Aaron Berkowitz, came to Tena in March of 2009 with two EEG technicians: Mel Murphy, Kathleen Principe and their assistant Bill Principe, a donated EEG machine from Cadwell Laboratories, and a team consisting of 3 additional neurologists Sydney Cash ,MGH, Dominic Fee UKY, and Blanca Vazquez ,NYU, a neurosurgeon Karin Swartz UKY, two internists Christopher Shanahan ,BU, Denise Dvorquez,Guayaquil, a pediatrician Ann Kao MGH, a US medical student Aaron Berkowitz ,JHU, and several medical student volunteers from Quito led by Oscar Pacheco.
