"I have come here for treatment but now look at the situation. I could get hurt or step on something sharp, and there is a risk of infection. I could even contract hepatitis. I don't know what might happen. There are several labs here and the entire area in front of the lab is flooded. There could be human waste, urine, who knows what kind of infection or disease we might catch. I came here to get treated, but I might end up leaving with another illness."
