Not Just Pondy?

I am now thinking that we may split time between Pondicherry and Hyderabad. The experience at Pondy will be direct patient experience with medicine, surgery, and OB/GYN. There will be interaction with med school faculty, residents (Postgraduates) and students. The major success of CIT1, in my mind, anyway, is the opportunity we had to see other aspects and venues of healthcare. I think that visiting the Sivananda Rehabilitation Home is a fantastic experience for anyone. The Fever Hospital is also an excellent education in the clinical manifestations of tropical diseases as well as a display of healthcare inequalities. Most of the patients there (without diarrhea) have vaccine- preventable illnesses. I am also thinking about other things available in Hyderabad that may not be as easy to come by in Pondy. Not to mention that as beautiful as Pondicherry sounds, Hyderabad is a more typical Indian city.

It’s on.

OK, now that there is a blog, this year’s trip has become official. I have spent an inordinate amount of time selecting the theme for this one. Still not completely satisfied with what we have, but am definitely impressed with WordPress over Blogger in terms of theme selection. It is not as intuitive in terms of posting, but hopefully, one gets the hang of it eventually. At some point, I need to replace the header pic with something more appropriate.
