I’m pictured here with Sapolo, a man of forty-five whom I first cared for a week ago. His pneumonia, the leading cause of death in low-income nations, was at that time severe. In spite of oxygen and antibiotic Sapolo’s chest weaved more greatly and his alertness declined as the oxygen to his brain diminished. Last Tuesday night his family came to me and asked to take Sapolo home to die. Given his very poor prognosis, I did not resist. BUT today Sapolo walked in for a follow up consultation – very much alive. I am amazed!!!
