Dear Salvatore,

 

I refer to Dr Vijayakumaran’s message (LML March 3rd, 2009).  This is quite an unfriendly reply of a well respected Dr Vijayakumaran to a Medical student, Elisabeth Poorman, who (as I suppose) has made an effort to meet people in leprosy villages, there were they live, and who has tried to understand the issues in their lives.  This is not just an emotional statement and I suppose Elisabeth has tried, in one way or another to listen to or together with them address real issues in the lives of those who live there. 

 

Yours,

 

Piet Both
