Micro and coffee

I had a nice discussion with the head of Microbiology at MGMCRI today. We got a tour of the facilities. They have minimal equipment, but they have great amounts of space. They are poised to take off if funding comes through, but that is not likely in the near future. There is no C. difficile to be found at this hospital, I am told. They also have OK responses to empiric treatment of infections with cephalosporins, while the government hospital has good responses treating with penicillin and gentamicin. There is a world of infection control research to be done here. Nobody is doing it. Yet.

The latest from coffee.com, as mentioned by Alicia, is that they have added the reverse osmosis info to the menu. Emboldened by this, I gave them some feedback on their website and business cards. I hope to be working here by the end of the week.

Coffee again

Two things. The barista, Desiree, apologized profusely for yelling at me. She then gave me a tour of the reverse osmosis system they use to ensure that their water and ice is safe. This is what our misunderstanding was about earlier. I am now here to say that coffee.com is the official cafe/restaurant of CaseIndiaTrips. If you want to know more, go here. The second thing is that they are so fantastic, we are now at their other (newer) location for dinner. They are that good. And I am not just saying that because I am afraid of Desiree. Or because I saw her verbally take down the rude Frenchman Brian mentioned. I just like the place. We are going to have risotto now.
