Nabi, the next patient, was a classical depressed nose of leprosy which corrected without any of the complicated dental splints used for this operation in the U.K. I took some wire from the chicken run of the hospital and used it to remarkably good effect. Today it is a standard technique throughout the world, though stainless steel is used in place of chick wire. Since then hundreds if not thousands of such operations have been carried out all over India as well as in other countries. We had no anaesthetist, no running water, no electricity as I said earlier. I would go early in the morning before sunrise, lay the trolley and wait for the sun to shine through the windows before we operated. When Sir Harold Gillies, the eminent surgeon visited Kondhwa, he too operated under similar conditions. To him it was not very different from what he had encountered the trenches in France during World War I. This only goes to show that even with modest or poor facilities, a lot can be achieved will!
