Private medical practice and dentistry are supposed to be lucrative but one empathetic dentist, Dr David Otieno Awange, sometimes treated needy patients at no cost. Dr Awange died late last month at the age of 65. That was Dr Awange who not only treated his gum infection with skill and compassion, but also did it for free. Patient Dr Ruth Waweru said Dr Awange was her dentist for 35 years and was not only her doctor but her friend. Dr Awange died barely six months after his wife Margaret Lavender Atieno died in February.
