Some people in the US think that we have the BEST system in the world and will not

wake up to the fact that our system is broken.

@movieguy7589: That was probably around 520 BC. Sushruta treated Gautama Buddha, who was born in 570 BC.

Sorry to hear about you mother's condition. I pray to waheguru she gets well soon. In my opinion best is to contact Indian Consulate in Islamabad for available options and they can guide you to reliable sources. I wouldn't just rely on internet...
