Oh, and almost every doctor here has an anecdote about a colleague who was prosecuted (either through the legal system or tribal law, usually the latter) over "killing" a patient despite being innocent. One that comes to mind is the formula of a pediatrician blamed for treating a child poisoned by a nondescript herbal mixture that later dies in his care. Between the witch-doctor who had been a reputable source of knowledge in her community for decades and a physician in his late 20s who doesn't know what the femur is called in his native language, it's obvious who killed the kid.
