Medicine in Sri Lanka

One of the most cherishing moments of my time in Sri Lanka was witnessing a natural birth. It is one of those experiences often overlooked in America because people get caught up in so many other hustle and bustles. Watching that baby's head peek out and then slide out crying until wrapped safely into a blanket encased in his mother's arms was truly an emotional event. This situation really connected medicine, erasing all the boundaries between nations and between people. Ultimately, we all are reduced to our primordial instincts—the stuff that makes us humans and natural beings on Earth.
