Via HoyBolivia.com and The Real Cuba, it seems 30 of the 1,000 Cuban doctors sent to Bolivia have taken refuge in Santa Cruz - the same city that overwhelmingly voted for autonomy.

The doctors are being harbored by free Cubans who reside in Bolivia while they wait to see what happens. Most interestingly, they reported that more than 500 Cuban doctors have already defected in Venezuela.
