Miracle (2011)
“His downstairs neighbors were a university professor and his family. The professor had left the Senoufo tribe as a very young man and gone to France to attend college.
Though middle-class, middle-aged, and very European in dress and manner, he proudly bore the whiskerlike scars of the Senoufo on his face, and he had taught the traditions of his tribe to his children.
To Sebastien the Ivory Coast was like that professor, a fascinating mixture of cultures. Thatched huts existed in the shadow of s...kyscrapers and resort hotels; huge freighters slid along the surface of the great inland lagoon that fronted the city, while only a short drive away monkeys chattered in the rain forests.
It was a country of ancient ways and dark mysteries, which suited his nature, but he was anxious to finish his service and leave. Owing to the natives’ lean diet, there was little heart disease here. Except for an occasional congenital defect or injury, he had few opportunities to practice his specialty. Because there were so few doctors, each had many duties, so he did everything from lance abscesses to deliver breech babies.MoreLess
