A Childhood Memento5- A Memoir by Dr. Anvar Khame’ee
Ringworm
Interview date: 1994/24/10
I was the best student in class. Four or five months after the beginning of the school year, when I just learnt a couple of alphabet letters, I became bald.
Back then, people used ”zoft”, a substance which resembles tar to cure this disease. They would cover the whole head with a layer of tar, especially the wounded parts of the scalp. Then, they would remove it under the surveillance of a physician. What happened was that the patient became bald until the stems grew back again.
My parents said “no, he has to keep his hair” and tried to cure me with other medicine. Finally after 3years Dr. Sharghi prescribed me an ointment to save my hair.
However, I didn’t go to school for three consecutive years because they thought my disease was contagious.
During this time, I stayed home and studied by my self or with my brothers’ help. After these three years I registered for the 4th grade.
I compensated for my frequent absents and finished primary school at ”Etehadie” elementary school. Then I studied in “Elmieh” high school and got my high school degree.

Authenticating Oral History: From Possibility to Necessity
The use of oral history as one of the historical sources has long been one of the principal challenges facing oral historians and those who employ it in contemporary historiography. The development of international standards for oral history, as well as IRIB standards, was intended to address the criticisms raised in this regard.
