He came in few weeks ago with a perforated Appendix after a previous scan of 3months revealed acute appendicitis but because of lack of funds, his parents opted for a nearby chemist for drugs. Well, the pain subsided and they felt they had won the fight until the child woke up one late night, at about 3am, with an excruciating abdominal pain. Upon presentation, we made a diagnosis of perforated Appendix and went in. Operation was successfully carried out and patient was fine again. They came back to appreciate the rural doctor initiative.
The interesting thing about this case is that, before we entered for the procedure, we didn't charge a penny until after saving the child's life. This is fulfilling. Thank you all.
