His mother brought him to the clinic because he was (as I'm sure you can tell) in bad shape. The group of well-meaning but medically inept people were treating various disorders including giving out meds. All I know about these situations comes from first aid training in the Marines, years of being married to an R.N. and the much maligned common sense. In other words, not much. This boy was having respiratory problems (learned that from watching House, MD) and when I mentioned how serious he seemed they prayed for him. They also gave him worm medicine, which worked better than the prayers. It killed him. ( I think). His mother told us he had been eating dirt prior to getting sick? In any case he might have died without ever seeing our missionaries. I've always wished I'd done more than just photographing him. You're a doctor and if you tell me I'm way off base with my "diagnosis" I'll feel better. Still, I'm not sure I'd agree. :-\ Walt Steve Barbour wrote: > > On Aug 17, 2006, at 2:32 PM, Walt Johnson wrote: > >> B.D. >> >> Here is one I'd never do in b&w.think the color is very necessary. >> >> http://gallery.leica-users.org/walts/respecto > > > yes... very nice Walt... > >> >> as well as another conversion which looks terrible in color. >> >> http://gallery.leica-users.org/walts/dyingboy_bw > > > > what is the story here Walt? > > >> >> and the old Tri-X routine which I'm sorry wasn't Fujichrome :-) >> >> http://gallery.leica-users.org/walts/franck >> >> Walt >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Leica Users Group. >> See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information > > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information > >
