RE: [Cz-L] Turkish Bridge Policlinic.

The infection rate due to this treatment with the "sterile" schmatte
dressing must have been quite something!!! Cornel

I do not know whether the treatment at the Policlinic was an improvement
over home remedies. At home, people took a piece of onion, put it on
the cast iron stove till it was almost cooked, then applied it to
infected wound,
tore a piece of fabric off an old sheet and with it bandaged the
onion to the wound.
In a day or two, the wound was healed. It was fast, easy, cheap and
very very effective.
Someone noticed and "invented" Sulfa drugs.
Also, a piece of "Schmatte" was much easier to remove than leokoplast.
