A true-life adventure story

Imagine what it would be like to live in a place where there was no medical care whatsoever! The lifestyle was punctuated by shootings, stabbings, hangings, drownings, malaria, broken limbs, disfiguring tropical sores, rotten teeth by the mouthful and problem pregnancies. For anyone unlucky enough to need a doctor, the nearest one was over 300 miles away in Georgetown. An airplane might fly into the region once or twice a month, or people who where strong enough could make the trip to medical care on foot in 26 days.
