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.
