another Peace Corps moment

Another typical Panama story. My dog got hit by a car a few months ago. She was bloody, cut up,couldn't walk, and I really thought she was going to die. A couple days after the accident, she was alive but suffering. While talking with a neighbor, someone else stopped by in their car, and heard about her as well. All of them starting mentioning medicinal plants that I could use. When I later arrived at my house, this is what greeted me…



Yep, the guy had gone, found the necessary plant, cut me off the branches, and left me the instructions. I used it (as well as some penicillin). My dog limps, but she’s alive and kicking!
