wow it was one Sunday morning. James was complaining of headache and cold before setting out for the morning Sunday service. We administer some drugs which we taught will be able to tackle the ailment.
It was of a great surprise when we returned back home from church to see James on the floor with barely any strength in him. I almost fainted myself, because James was a friend who came for visit.
We quickly rush him down to the nearest hospital for proper treatment. He was diagnosed of chronic fever. Doctor told us James sickness was severed and needs proper attention. The drug which we administer only worsen the situation of James.
James was admitted and treated in the proper way. After some few weeks James was back to his feet hale and sound. The Doctor later counsel us against self medication because it can endangered once life, if proper attention is not taken into consideration.
