This beautiful lady is one of those who run stalls in the vegetable/ fruit market just outside of our campus.Praise -- A couple of weeks before we left the States, Phil had a problem with a spot on his head that had become infected. He went to our doctor and the nurse practitioner lanced it and we treated it with an oral antibiotic. Monday (12 Jan) Phil realized that the spot felt a bit strange. Judy looked at it and realized it was once again getting infected. The next morning, while Phil was in class, Judy went to the campus clinic. There is a resident doctor (Dr. Elizabeth) who is there on a regular basis. Judy explained to her that she needed some type of topical antibiotic to sterilize the area so she could open the spot, and would then apply another antibiotic gel she had brought from the States. The doctor understood, gave her Betadine (has 10% iodine) and asked that if she wasn't successful to please have Phil come in. Now, we are a week later and the spot is almost completely cleared up. AND that was w/o having to go on an oral antibiotic this time.
