In January 2014, photographer Giles Clarke met "Bombero Voluntario" (volunteer fireman) and cardiac physician Dr. Jorge Chiu Quevedo at the scene of a shooting on the streets of Guatemala City. After the needs of the moment were attended to, Giles learned that Dr. J was the former head of the #1 cardiac clinic in the U.S. - The Cleveland Clinic. Yet he had returned to Guatemala to work at a local hospital in the day and volunteer in the dangerous streets at night. Giles asked if he could ride along with Dr. J and the bomberos to learn more about them and their work.

Talkupy Radio with Annie Lindstrom welcomse both men to the show Tuesday, November 4 at 11 am ET to talk about what happened next. We'll learn how Dr. J ended up with a new ambulance and discuss a short documentary that Giles made about his ride-along experience for VICE. There will be a screening of the film and a Q&A on Wednesday, November 5 at 7 pm at The Half King, 505 W. 23rd St. in NYC.
