Re: Bhikkhu Samahita requires medical assistance
Can the bathing water not be cooked prior to bathing?
Re: Bhikkhu Samahita requires medical assistance
yes, i am currently trying to get a U.S prescription. i don't think Bhante would be able to boil all his bathing water... I believe he only has one small electric range top.

if there is anyone here who is an MD or has close relationship with an MD please contact me in private. we have basically exhausted all sources for Artemether or Coartem with no luck.

Isn't David Snyder an MD?

No, I'm a Ph.D.(philosophy and sociology). As Randy Pausch would say, "I'm a doctor but not the type that helps people."
On a more serious note, I think it is difficult, perhaps impossible to acquire prescription drugs for someone else in the U.S. without a prescription.

Dr Snyder, I am actually looking to have the prescription written to myself. I will then buy and ship the medicine to Bhante Samahita. There actually is a prescription from a Sri Lankan Doctor, it's just that the medicine isnt available there.

Medicine Mission Complete!
Happily was the remaining preventive medicine delivered here today by DHL as a kind donation from Mrs. Eveline Lee of Singapore assisted by Mr. Ponnusamy Stalin of India. Sadhu! Well done by both of these fine friends. No more medicine is thus needed now. Thanx again for the overwelmingly positive response from many good people here and there. Support for the continued Dhamma-Sharing work is still & always welcome here: http://What-Buddha-Said.net/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Metta,

Re: Bhikkhu Samahita requires medical assistance
Great news, merit for all of us! And health for the bhikkhu!
It made me wonder, what would a Sri Lankan bhikkhu do in the same situation, without such access to supporters who can buy and send from overseas a pretty expensive medicine?

Great news!
