I think this bandage is not needed," said Mma Ramotswe, bending down to remove it. "Hospitals feel they have to put a bandage on anybody who goes there-just in case. Sometimes you get a bandage even if you are just visiting somebody.
Mma Ramotswe expresses her belief that a bandage is unnecessary in her case, indicating a critical view of hospitals' practices. She suggests that hospitals often apply bandages to patients indiscriminately, not just for those who actually need them, but even for visitors. This highlights her perspective on the overuse of medical procedures.
Her observation reflects a broader theme of questioning healthcare norms and encourages a conversation about the adequacy and appropriateness of medical interventions. It illustrates her thoughtful and sometimes skeptical attitude toward societal practices in a humorous yet poignant way.
