The Fabulous Flemings of Kathmandu: The Story of Two Doctors in Nepal

The Fabulous Flemings of Kathmandu: The Story of Two Doctors in Nepal

Grace Nies Fletcher
3.7/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Here is the story of a remarkable couple whom the author calls "Silent Samaritans," for they went to Nepal not to preach the cause of Christianity -- but to show it by their work: they have brought to a remote isolated part of the world the kind of medical care that county had never known.
Their interest in Nepal started in 1949 with Dr. Bob Fleming, an ornithologist, who received permission to enter the country to collect rare bird specimens. When he reported to his wife, Bethel, a physician, on the seriously ill, uncared for people he saw everywhere, they were both determined to do all they could to return as medical missionaries, even the most of Nepal and especially its capital city, Kathmandu was closed to foreigners, It was five years before the reinstalled monarchy allowed them to reopen their first clinic, and even then, the terms were severe. But they went, knowing that proselytizing was forbidden, and so the only way of showing their own faith was to demonstrate it by their deeds.
