DESCRIPTION:Research in Progress: Critical junctures between migration\, la
 w\, and medicine in Guatemala A car accident in Arizona severely injured A
 ntonio Torres\, leaving him comatose and connected to a ventilator. Despit
 e his status as a legal Mexican immigrant to the US\, the hospital transfe
 rred him to a Mexican hospital because he could not pay for long-term care
 .1 Torres’ story demonstrates the critical juncture between the political 
 and legal geographies that structured the borders Torres crossed—both as h
 ealthy farmworker and as comatose patient—and the medical geographies that
  delimitated his access to health care. The increasing numbers of vulnerab
 le bodies caught in the nexus of boundaries\, medical crises\, and sustain
 ed bodily trauma raises important theoretical and practical questions abou
 t the nature of these geographical intersections. I traveled to Quetzalten
 ango and Todos Santos Cucumatán\, Guatemala during the summer of 2009 to e
 xplore the connections between the medical\, legal\, and political geograp
 hies faced by migrants such as Torres. Previous research had familiarized 
 me with Guatemala\, where between 6\,000-12\,000 migrants make the dangero
 us journey to the US annually\, many encountering medical crises such as r
 obbery\, abuse\, or death by exposure. Less is known about flows in the ot
 her direction due to death and medical crises\, and with this project I at
 tempted to learn more about the connections between migration and medical 
 crises. This paper presents the evolution of my research project\, and add
 resses how fieldwork in Guatemala forced the re-articulation and potential
  re-siting of this research. 1 Sontag\, D. (2008). Deported in a Coma\, Sa

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:Research in Progress: Critical junctures betwe
 en migration\, law\, and medicine in Guatemala A car accident in Arizona s
 everely injured Antonio Torres\, leaving him comatose and connected to a v
 entilator. Despite his status as a legal Mexican immigrant to the US\, the
  hospital transferred him to a Mexican hospital because he could not pay f
 or long-term care.1 Torres’ story demonstrates the critical juncture betwe
 en the political and legal geographies that structured the borders Torres 
 crossed—both as healthy farmworker and as comatose patient—and the medical
  geographies that delimitated his access to health care. The increasing nu
 mbers of vulnerable bodies caught in the nexus of boundaries\, medical cri
 ses\, and sustained bodily trauma raises important theoretical and practic
 al questions about the nature of these geographical intersections. I trave
 led to Quetzaltenango and Todos Santos Cucumatán\, Guatemala during the su
 mmer of 2009 to explore the connections between the medical\, legal\, and 
 political geographies faced by migrants such as Torres. Previous research 
 had familiarized me with Guatemala\, where between 6\,000-12\,000 migrants
  make the dangerous journey to the US annually\, many encountering medical
  crises such as robbery\, abuse\, or death by exposure. Less is known abou
 t flows in the other direction due to death and medical crises\, and with 
 this project I attempted to learn more about the connections between migra
 tion and medical crises. This paper presents the evolution of my research 
 project\, and addresses how fieldwork in Guatemala forced the re-articulat
 ion and potential re-siting of this research. 1 Sontag\, D. (2008). Deport
