30 cents worth of developing country medicine

It happened to me also, I had red eye and I went to ask 4 doctors,
all 3 of them didn't do me any good, one of them even gave me
antibiotics, but didn't help. The 4th is a specialist and he said I can
just let it be, it will recover by itself. But even after years after that,
when I was in Indonesia, it still didn't get better, until I came across
INSTO. it costed 3000 rupiah, which is about AU$0.30 (30 cents
Australian dollar), and it worked almost immediately, like a magic
medicine. It worked 20 years ago with me and it also works now.
If I had to choose between the 30 cents and the INSTO, I would
choose INSTO no questions asked. I spent at least 30 dollars for each
the 4 doctors above totalling AU$120, about 1.2 million rupiah, without
any good medicine, and this 30 cents worth of liquid worthed more
than 1.2 million rupiah of doctor services. What a piece of junk. I also
have skin irritation, didn't get cured until I returned to Indonesia, it
was Dettol soap/body wash that cured me. It just made me so upset.

I am telling this doesn't actually happen once or twice, but it happens
all the time. Following is the a copy of Courier Mail newspaper, about
the cataract patient.
