Thank you HillBilly. A strange situation indeed. A cast, he does have ,but that was with my help and I believe at the time he went to a private clinic. The anemia he has is a result of poor nutrition and food (fruits and veggies) is natural remedy, but not one he can afford at the moment. The issue is that he is not working at the moment b/c of the leg and the infection and I am not in a position to fully support him while he's in this condition. He doesn't have a lot of family, and friends and neighbors have been doing all they can to help out but still not enough to provide all he needs. I will inquire about the public hospitals and the assistance from the social workers. He really needs some help and seemingly doesn't know which way to turn.
