Devi's back, back again...

It's one of those things where reality becomes real when you see it right in front of you. Or smell it right in front of you, for that matter. I'm in India right now, and i arrived last night around 1 AM. I smelled India (it's a very distinctive dusty ancient smell like nothing else! maybe there's a little poo mixed in there too...) and saw it at the same time, and then it hit me that I was back only a short 2.5 years after my last visit.

Last time I went to India more out of necessity than for any particular reason. At that time, I knew I was going to be starting residency and it was practical for me to use the glorious 4th year med student vacation time to go. It was a great trip! I travelled to so many places and spent time with family.

Now I'm here to learn about medicine in India. I have no idea what to expect from Swarna Jayanti Samudaik Hospital in Mathura, India. It's a small hospital with a smaller pediatric ward in a small town. We'll see what happens...

From what I can tell I should have internet access at the hospital, so keep checking my blog for updates! I know I haven't written in ages... I hope to find my muse in India.
