Educated people end up going to them too, when they lose hope in modern medicine. Believe it or not, there was this lady that was more of 'spiritual healer' that would use her saliva to 'cure' people. <BR/> <BR/>And self medicating, i remember being only 12 and seeing my grandma share her prescription medication with one of her neighbours because they were chatting and they had similar symptoms. <BR/><BR/>My dad is a doctor, so when we lived in libya, our neighbours would come and describe the pill to my dad and expect him to give them this medicine, that they obviously needed a prescription for. Sometimes they would knock on our door with a cup, so that we would lend them some 'shirobbo kahha' (cough syrup). All I gotta say is that the amusement in Libya is continuous.aishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14245544537865286529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439435.post-1151813038055473622006-07-02T00:03:00.000-04:002006-07-02T00:03:00.000-04:00I just read now that you had surgery....salamtek :...I just read now that you had surgery....salamtek :) I hope you feel better and you recover 100%.aishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14245544537865286529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439435.post-1151795272840519502006-07-01T19:07:00.000-04:002006-07-01T19:07:00.000-04:00Hi Teri, welcome back.

She lost all her computer files again! and really enjoyed reading your blog & pics of libya. Can you say "hi Dona/Frank ha! We do love your blog/sense of humor/thoughts, etc. <BR/><BR/>I have heard the pain you experience in your legs is AWFUL! <BR/><BR/>Poor little old mother-in-law! I am serious, it's not easy getting old and not feeling "good". I just turned 58 this month and was sick on MY day. As I am still recouping from this awful flu bug/virus, whatever it is; I pondered my youth, and the saying "enjoy your health and youth while you have it"!!! AMEN/AMEN/AMEN Hope you are gentle and pamper yourself.

They sit around gossiping with each other and get ideas about their different disorders (imagined and real). <BR/><BR/>My mother in law is after me about taking my son Ibrahim to a neighbourhood 'doctora' to cure his excema. This 'doctora' is an old woman who treats people by burning them on their faces. I told her 'No thanks! I don't think he needs burn scars on his face on top of the excema!'<BR/><BR/>It is amazing what illiterate people will come up with. Old wives tales abound! - just wait, you'll find out when you get here. lolKhadijaTerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01279047119702679252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439435.post-1151770617906875752006-07-01T12:16:00.000-04:002006-07-01T12:16:00.000-04:00hope everything will be ok soon and back to work a...hope everything will be ok soon and back to work and everything else that still stand.Akramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05864430348251315538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439435.post-1151765735669036842006-07-01T10:55:00.000-04:002006-07-01T10:55:00.000-04:00maybe i can do you a favor and check her sugar for...maybe i can do you a favor and check her sugar for her while i am there!
