I came from Afghanistan three years ago and spent all my life there - not only in Kabul city, but in small villages, too. I've never seen something like this. I agree with some parts about traditional treatments but to tear one's stomach apart is outragous. Be honest, is it a real story or just something you made up. Dear Hadi,

I am not sure how old you are and where this happened, but it really seems a kind of outdated grandma story of bed time. I came from Afghanistan three years ago and spent all my life there – not only in Kabul city, but in small villages, too. I’ve never seen something like this. I agree with some parts about traditional treatments but to tear one’s stomach apart is outragous. Be honest, is it a real story or just something you made up.

I'm not sure what the statistics are, but I would say that when people don't have access to real hospitals they go see healers. The hospital I went to was not an international hospital.

Was it an Afghan hospital you went to? Or one of the international ones? And how many people go see "traditional" healers as opposed to medical doctors? Love this story CRAZY story! Was it an Afghan hospital you went to? Or one of the international ones? And how many people go see “traditional” healers as opposed to medical doctors?
