the back of my neck broke out in this nasty rash that was so itchy ......... BRAC Health Unit where no less than five doctor-staff stood around me examining my neck in the middle of the office, with plenty of on-lookers.
Absolutely no sense of privacy about these things in Bangladesh.
When they had finished debating and settled on a prescription I thanked them profusely and got up to leave.
Here is the conversation that followed:
Doc 1: “Wait, sit down.”
Natalie: “You are not finished?”
Doc 1: “We need a picture.”
Natalie: “Of my neck?”
Doc 1: “No, your hands.”
Natalie “You want to take a picture of my hands?”
Doc 1: “Yes, you have very beautiful hands. Just wait.”
Natalie to Doc 2: “Why does she want a picture of my hands?”
Doc 2: “Let me see. Yes, you do have very beautiful hands.”
Doc 1: “Ok, now put your hands on the desk.”
Natalie: “Like this?”
Doc 1: “Yes, now pretend to scratch. Very good.”
Natalie: “You want a picture of my hands pretending to scratch?”
Doc 1: “yes, for some poster or something.”
So there you have it, I am now BRAC Health Program’s bideshi ( foreign ) hand model. Only in Bangladesh would this ever happen to me.
