An Ailment Forced him Out of School for 11years, Then He Invented A Surgery And Cured Himself
This is the story of an American who didn’t resign to his fate. A Strange sickness that has plagued members of his family fell on him too, rather than lay blame on village witches or destiny like many people in this part of the world always do, he went in search of a solution.
