he had cut himself while gathering fruit in the forest and asked me if i could look at his wound
so off i went on my bike, he had a deep wound which needed suturing
our hospital is under construction and we have no medical equipment at the moment
i called a local doctor i know and asked to borrow some, she advised i take him to A&E
The doctor and I had different opinions about treatment
he had 2 sutures which cost the equivalent of 2 days local rate wages
i can now see why healthcare is out of reach for many laotians
a little depressing but good to be here to do a little bit to try to help
