Measuring pressure inside brain using 'simple sterilized rubber tube, filled with water'; using honey to heal wounds instead of betadine; using ‘mosquito net to treat adult groin hernia instead of polypropylene mesh’; using ‘household electric ties (used to hold wires together) as a substitute for surgical tourniquet to put compression at the base of the breast during breast reduction surgery’ so on and so forth.
