Hamlin Fistula UK

A patient arriving at the hospital in rags, in a confused and anxious state accompanied by her brother. They have walked many miles - maybe two hundred and are in a sad and filthy state.  Her husband has probably abandoned her. She has been shunned by her friends because of her offensive smell.

Within two days, she made a friend and was smiling again.

Cleaned up, in her bed awaiting her operation the following day.
