He has now returned to the country.The caption to the picture, left— Antonio Torres, 19, outside his family's home in Gila Bend, Ariz. Mr. Torres, a farmworker and legal immigrant, suffered catastrophic injuries in a car crash in June and was taken by ambulance to a hospital in Phoenix. He had no insurance and did not qualify for Medicaid. So, less than two weeks after the accident, the hospital sent Mr. Torres, who was comatose, to Mexico. Five days later, his parents found a California hospital to accept him and brought him back into the United States. He arrived from Mexico in septic shock but survived -- and thrived.
