Met many guys who had their surgeries while they were back home. In between trips.
Said safety meetings consisted of not leaving the compound, "please don't mess with the Cobras." Whenever a large container or some drums were moved there was a 10% chance a cobra may run out. The local contractors would catch them and kill them to take home. To EAT! The meeting basically made it clear that they had zero anti venom and they were hours away from any. So if you got bit you were fricked.
Would have taken one cobra to put me back on a plane.

Knew someone who went their for work. He flew in and was told not to leave someone would be there from the company to pick him up. He got there and no one was waiting on him so he decided to get a taxi and see the town or he decided to walk around no one is 100% sure.
His body was found a week later minus his head, feet, and hands. He was 24 with a pregnant wife and 2 yr old at home.
Morale of the story stay with the company men, don't leave the compound, and don't screw any local (you gonna get AIDS).
