Bad manners and other incorrigible incivility shown
to some patients by some doctors' assistants &iid some
hospital staff ; the long waiting before a atient could see
a doctor, the grossly inadequate medical P acilities in some
hospitals, all these, and more, conspired to push an honest
but otherwise busy-bee Okondu into the hands of mercenary q u a c k s typified by Sunday, and into honorary ignorant quackery.
Okondu's oonfrontation with Dr. Jika's wife at the
doctor's d o o r almost made the elstwhile law-abi3ing
Okondu literally run amuck with injection-syringe and
hypodern~ic needless, indiscretely administering cheap but
highly poisonous arsenic-containing Acetylarsan injections
lo his first wife and his only son, Bomboy.
