The last port of call consultation
Abstract
We were about to close my evening surgery a while ago when
a man came in carrying a young woman in his arms and laid
her on my consulting room couch. She was 28 years old and
her body was light to carry because it was so wasted. She
was in a deep coma and had fulminating oral thrush known in
isiZulu as amalonda. She died within fifteen minutes.
