Re: [Cz-L] The Leprosarium of Tichilesti and Bygone Days in Braila

Cornel...

Of course you are right, leper is fully contollable/curable these days, but the patients living in Tichilesti got the disease decades ago, as for example "Aunty Ioana" in the ninteenthirties. For them the leprosarium is their residence, rather than a hospital. I think the Romanian medicine is meanwhile up-to-date. There is an interesting report, headlined "Europe's last leper colony lives on", released by BBC News in 2001:

Thanks to our moderators for accepting this really off-off-topic! I vow that the next postings will be again Czernowitz- and/or Bukovina-related!

Best wishes to all of you from hot (39° C = 102.20° F) Bucharest!
