More Random Thoughts

Posted by tfernan0 on 20 August, 2008

1.) In India, they have one tablet that contains the usual four drugs (INH, rifampin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol) in the active TB treatment regiment to increase compliance.

2.) I have not seen one tie in the 3 days of rounding here. In fact, as others have noted, about half the doctors and most the ancillary staff don’t even wear closed toes shoes. Dr. Walsh would not be happy with that, but he should take heart because no wears scrubs on rounds either.

3.) Intracerebral tuberculoma = BAD.

4.) We saw the big golden ball in Auroville yesterday. Its pretty impressive. You cannot appreciate how big the golden ball is until you are inside it. The silence in the meditation room is deafening.

5.) As my mustache grows, so grows my respect amungst my Indian collegues. (Picture to follow once we figure out how to upload one.)
