Yes -its steaming hot here - we are swimming in our own pool (of sweat).
Seems to be cataract time in the family now - today we had an appointment at Shankara Nethralaya for S - both his eyes show beginning signs of cataract!
We mainly went to consult about his in growing eyelashes & recurring eye infection - the lashes have to be corrected surgically. The lash specialist will see him tomorrow & tell us what & when.
The recent expired medicine scam has put our med centre in a spot & we have stopped giving free medicines to the poor. We have been holding a series of meetings as to how we can handle this if an inspection takes place. We are above board, but we never know how the authorities will choose to harass us. In fact we have a meeting of the Trustees tomorrow with the legal dept people at the office.
Our once buzzing med centre looks forlorn as few patients turn up now, as they can't afford to buy medicines that are prescribed. We are hopiong this phase will pass & we are able to get back to srious good work.
