Laxman Ji is the medical pathologist of Barefoot and was also trained while being illiterate. He can perform all of the routine tests such as blood and urine samples, various dermatology tests, and many others to check for diseases or abnormalities in his patients. Unfortunately, we were not able to get much of a story from Laxman Ji but he is serving a critical role for the Barefoot community.
