Medical Care

Recently Sabita and Parbati were held home from school. Sabita had contracted something flu-like while Parbati needed to have a cavity filled. I tagged along with those two and Tara for a trip to Manipal Teaching Hospital in Pokhara.

First, there's a very warm bus ride.

Walking to the lobby area. Manipal is Indian-owned and most of the doctors hail from there.

In the waiting area.

When all was said and done, Sabita got some flu medicine and Parbati had her tooth fixed without the aid of novocaine. I looked into the dental lab (you can do that here), and she was laying still as a doll while the dentist worked the drill. Tough little Muppet.

But the larger point of showing you these pictures is this kind of medical care was not possible for these children before you decided to support Sam's House. Now all our children have excellent care available every day. Thank you.
