MEDICAL MINSTRELS


A couple of chairs, paper, an otoscope and a stethoscope with a few medications have become the tools of a medical minstrel.  If making noises with body parts counts as music we may be musical minstrels as well.  

Navigating the roads with potholes maturing to sink holes makes one break out in song“Do you want to Da--an--ce”?  If you like an asynchronous rhythm you will love the roads of Cambodia.  On the roads our minstrel medical van has the capacity to use 1 liter of oil every 3 kilometers while painting the back side of the van in black grease paint.  The rattle of the back door acts as the vans motion detector.  No rattle no movement.  Occasionally the driver plays dodgem with bicycles, push carts, animals and pedestrians.  Generally one attempts to steer clear of the rice kernels along the way. Poles of bamboo laid down to bridge the waterways reduce the boredom of the ride. You too may become a medical minstrel as you join us on a medical minstrel outreach to the provincial churches of Southeast Asia.  You then will be the composer of your own tunes.  Itunes in the making and fodder for youtube.  May the Lord direct our path not matter the tune.MEDICAL MINSTRELS
