We have now both moved rooms and life is a whole lot rosier. Mahakali is a long old drive and quite a well functioning clinic so I think we are planning a bit of time reallocation. Today we went shopping after clinic and I got myself a topi. Very good although my head is a tad too big (!) for it so may have to get a good one tailor made. Lots of patients turned up tday as they had heard a "famous foreign HIV doctor" was in town - umm - hardly! And our remit is to mentor not to provide clinical care, so I think they were disappointed!
Tomorrow we are back at Seti then doing presentations in Mahakali on Friday before staying the night there.
Life revolves around food, internet, teaching, sleep and filing reports as - I think - previously mentioned!
Wishing Peter Chadwick a very happy birthday for today and very best to all of you for your kind and continuing support.

ps - if you've time, I loved this episode of House I watched last night - "just being a doctor doesn't make you a healer" - quite!

you are a very famous HIV doctor of course, I can't count the journals and papers you are in so many are there. Sounds you are having a good time and are relaxing into the pace of Nepal. Keep going but looking forward to seeing you soon again.
ReplyDeletethanks husband very sweet of you to be so biased ;-) hugs tx
ReplyDeletenot biased, evidence based. just type your name into google :-)). However, I learned almost nothing about healing in medical school and text-books nor in hospital training. But lots elsewhere. Physician heal thyself is so true, which means healing not traditinal medicine I found out since.
ReplyDeleteHmm - I think I am a bit more Western than you. But good on you for experimenting.
