The calm before the storm

Today was a very pleasantly relaxing day. It was pretty warm all day here in Vellore and there has not been the evening rain that cools the place down to make it possible to sleep so I predict a fairly restless night ahead, despite my tiredness. Was in the department all morning, nothing particularly exciting, seemed pretty quiet - the cue for a reasonably long lunch break - before a short afternoon stint during which time no new patients were registered. After we could take no more the 2 German students and I decided that we would be much better spending our time beside the pool. It was my first trip and it was very pleasant, the water warm and sun not too scorching, all it needed was someone to serve cold drinks at regular intervals. Last day in Accident and Emergency tomorrow, hope to get an interesting case to write up for this half of the block. Head to Surgery for a week next week, think it's general surgery with some head and neck stuff thrown in for variety; apparently the doctors are quite good at teaching, but otherwise I have not really any idea why I chose to see this!
Anyway the weekend trip starts at 5.30 tomorrow when I head to Bangalore by train. Looking forward to seeing what a modern Indian city looks like - hope it doesn't cost too much.
Off for a nice hot chocolate before bed.
All the best.
