Chapter 19

Isi had worked hard at studying the herbs and now was adept doctor and she thought she knew enough about medicine and decided to enjoy her self and went to enjoy the pond like all the doctors did in the tribe who had already advance in the medical arts. Isi thought this is a life until an epidemic happened. The village was suddenly overrun by an invasion of rats. All the villagers were running round in panic seeing all the rats. Then the rats disappeared to the other side of the island. Everyone was in shock; the food was unfit and had to throw some it out. But then the villagers started to come down with a disease that spread amongst the tribe. They also became weakened with the disease that hit them. Some how once again Isi was lucky and remained will, but she was shocked that her sister was very ill and was in a bad way. Tiara’s strength was gone and she could hardly walk to the hospital. Isi helped her up and got her to the hospital and she want off to look for the rightful herbs to treat her. As she was looking for the herbal remedy to cure Tiare. The others were demanding to be treated, but she wanted to treat her sister first and told them to wait in turn. She wondered where the other doctors where as she seemed to be the only one available. Isi found the right cure and treated Tiare and now she had to wait and see if it had been successful.

In the meantime while Tiare was recovering after the treatment, Isi want to treat the other sick villagers. There were so many to treat. Isi had a flash back that something familiar happened during her childhood and this is how she became a doctor. Isi somehow knew that the diseases were not as bad as this at that time. This was different as not only were they sick they were also much weakened to the point that most could die if they were not treated as soon as possible. Just as she was thinking these doomed words, some of the elderly began to die and now she had the job to burying the dead.

Tiare came by and asked Isi if she wanted some help and Isi was pleased to see that Tiare was looking much better, yet she was still weakened from her illness. ‘I am glad your much better, but you still need rest’.
I am okay and besides we need to treat the older patients and the children first as they are more in danger of the disease can be fatal than to the younger adults.’
‘How about treating the doctors first and then we have more staff to treat the rest?’ Isi explained.

Isi and Tiare went ahead and treated all the doctors and soon had more healers on the job. What Isi did not know that Seven was not among the sick and she thought he must have been will. Yet Seven was in another part of the village and he was very sick and weakened and had not been able to make his way to the hospital. Will he be found and cured.
