Operation Timbang

I study in a medical school that prides itself for its “community-based” education. Whereas, other schools only expose their students to the community near graduation time, and that for only about a week. We are sent into the community from our first year until we graduate. We are responsible for guiding them, and empowering them to make wiser decisions to the betterment of their lives.
As part of our curriculum, we must pass a community diagnosis report regarding the conditions of the community assigned to us. Part of the report covers the Nutrional Status of children 0-7 years old. To gather such data, we had to measure the weights and heights of these children in a what is commonly called as an Operation Timbang.
Yet what we had thought to be a simple house-to-house procedure almost turned into shambles!
