The Clinic
"Clinic lasted all morning, and sometimes went into the afternoon, since we attempted to treat everyone who came in. Some people would walk for hours or take the train from many miles away to get there. We treated many of the same conditions I treat in the U.S., such as musculoskeletal problems, head-aches, menstrual problems, and gastrointestinal problems. There were also many conditions I had no experience treating, such as leprosy, malnutrition and children who are failing to thrive."
