The first morning in Tezpur I met my next door neighbor Dr. J who works in the medicine department. She helped me get oriented to the hostel and suggested several activities we could do over the course of the next few weeks together.<\/p>\n

I started on surgery with Dr. S. It was so busy – I can’t imagine being the only general surgeon at the hospital. Every day were rounds, surgeries, minor procedures, clinic and rounds again. I also found the OR footwear to be most interesting.<\/p>\n

The hospital still has a traditional set-up with a male ward and a female ward\u00a0in each department and a few private rooms. During morning rounds, the doctor writes a prescription for the family of any supplies or medications needed for the day with the patient’s family then purchases and brings back to the patient’s bedside.<\/p>\n

After a few days on surgery, I moved to the radiology department where Dr. P was visiting the hospital for a few weeks. He is planning to come work there full-time starting at the end of the year. When he’s not there, the patients have to go into town for ultrasound exams at a private radiology office. X-rays and CT imaging is obtained at the hospital and read by outside radiologists.<\/p>\n

In the evenings, the other residents at the hostel (who all work at the hospital in some capacity) taught me how to play badminton. I’m quite awful at it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
