23 year old Augustino was in so much pain from swelling all over his body, but there was no available medication and the nearest hospital was a few hours away.  Augustino was on medication to treat leprosy and everything was good for awhile, but one day the pain started.  It was so severe he couldn't get out of bed.  The medication should be making him better, so what was going on?
