AHHH!!! COUNT DOWN TO LEAVING - NEVER! NOT READY TO LEAVE YET AHHH!!!...
Hello all!
It came to my attention that yesterdays post was not as brief as I had originally intended. GET READY FOR A LONG ONE FOLKS. I'm just kidding, but really...nah it will be pretty short today guys, I promise.
So on the medical front, I was joined by 8 other MSW students today. Not medical students - masters of social work students. I thought it was pretty nifty that they expose their clinical social workers to a medical setting and explaining all this medical stuff to them, though it got a little cozy at times today with the crowd of petite women and one giant norwegian. BUT! awesome sidenote, I have befriended all of them! Mission Complete!! Also, due to the large number of students, Dr. Susheela did a lot of explaining of things today! Even though it was all in Tamil, I feel like I picked up on a few things!
I also saw a case of cervical cancer today. It was sad, because this woman has not kept up on her pap smear or "annual" (like I've said, annual OB/GYN visits are rare as well as regular pap smears) for a long time, and came in with some classic symptoms (irregular bleeding, post-coital bleeding, abdominal pain etc.) only to find that she has cervical cancer - possibly at an advanced stage.
For dinner, Dr. Relton and the principal of Bishop Heber College, along with our guides Shalni and Josephine, took us to dinner at this fancy hotel restaurant called Breeze! It was a delicious buffet that exposed us to many more types of Indian food that we had not previously eaten! It was quite yummy, and we all dressed up. Here are pictures - BAM

It was wonderful and delicious and we were so grateful that they took us to this awesome place!
Other than that, it was a really good day filled with the sights and sounds of India!!
A more detailed blog tomorrow! Tomorrow is my last day at Janet Nursing Home, and we will also get to have a Q&A session with Bishop Heber students! Exciting! :D
