A two-year-old boy gets sick and is rushed to a hospital in Kwale. The clinical officer at the hospital diagnoses feverish convulsions and quickly rushes to the hospital’s pharmacy where he obtains a dose of medicine that will ease the boy’s suffering. However, nothing happens, and the convulsions continue. As a result of this, the boy is given additional doses of the same drug to which he does respond.
