Doris announced she had a tropical boil on her foot and needed to see the doctor.  So off she went to have it lanced.  They are extremely common.  Nearly everyone has had at least one.  Well, I've never had one.  But Jim and practically everyone else has.  They get fairly big and usually have to be lanced.  Lots of blood and puss come out.  In the end they might leave a small crater on your body.  They are fairly nasty but easy to diagnosis, treat, and cure.  It's all part of living in the tropics.  All part of serving God out here in Darkest Africa.
