30th of January

Khushbu arranged for me to spend a day at the hospital she works in, Escorts Heart Institute and Research Centre. This is a private hospital with a chunk of its patients coming from overseas for the so called medical tourism.

Khushbu took me to see the head of Anaesthetics and Critical Care who the previous day had invited me to spend today observing the anaesthetic side of things in the hospital. In fact he actually arranged for me to spend the day with one of the ICU consultants. Which was fantastic as this is where I would like to end up practising, probably more through physcians training than anaesthetics but that's neither here nor there.

The ICU had equipment about as advanced as they do at RPAH with staff that had the training to use them. The difference between Escorts and IGMC is unbelievable. The doctors and nursing staff actually seem to care about the patients and want them to get better.

In the 6 hours that I was at the hospital I received more teaching than I had during the entire time at IGMC. It was wonderful.
