Medical.
Great hurry.
i(Fahrettin's) wife, i(0263 Srreya's) daughter, had a child with diarrhoea - certainly ill.
Woman - i(5287 Mnevver Bingol's) gelin (married to ? Bingol) in great agony.
Kept lying down "lyarn"{?}. i(0287 Mahir Tufan).
[Why drunk (?) at 6.30 on Friday?]
I was cross. We all set off, dropped Meht. and Hlya at Talas. Cut off my last plans in village.
We all went and found a flat of a doctor in Sivas Cad. Mother said she went to him regularly and also said child is in any case chronically weak and does not
eat.
However he was away. Then to i(Meht. nal), close kin of i(0286 Nazim Tufan). He was also away. We then discussed the matter with people in the lift and in
a shop and went eventually to i(Seyfi Absekirli), a young man, who agreed to cope. I drove us all to his office opposite Turan Oteli.
Took around 40 minutes to deal with two cases. Gave injections.
Charged 10,000 TL "for the sake of i(Meht. nal)" for two.
He was uncommunicative and authoritarian in manner, made no concessions but i(0287 Mahir) said he was a good doctor and he was quite reasonable.
NB: 1. On this (plus other) evidence villagers have very poor relations with doctors. The palatial premises, the authoritarian manner, the problems of
village models of physiological processes. And no attempt to explain medicines and their purposes. Doctors are powerful, ruthless, confident.
2. In trying to find the house, not even i(0287 Mahir) used the house numbering system. They were surprised because I found it without asking.
