Disclaimers
I have been thinking a lot about the legalities of posting about my hospital work in this blog. As I think about it there are several problems that arise by me writing. But, I cannot not write and lose these posts forever. So, the following disclaimers apply for any post on this blog or any…

Agra
We took the 19’666′ Udaipur-Khajuraho express to Agra from Gandhinagar railway station Jaipur. It came right behind the double decker express to Delhi. We took general tickets and later upgraded to sleeper tickets from the train and got allotted the same empty seats we were sleeping in after getting on. Outside Agra Cantonment railway station,…

And we begin
I had begun calling myself a doctor from the moment I finished the last practical viva. When I was traveling all last month I could only think of going back to hospital and starting work as an intern. But when on Sunday the result was announced, I had to triple check it wasn't a computer…

Pink City
Jaisalmer Delhi express reaches Jaipur by 5 in the morning. Even if it is late at Jodhpur Junction by an hour. Maybe we were too fascinated by the consummation of train 14660 (ours) by 14662 (Malani express) to think about how trains can run fast and catch up on lost time. It works like this.…

Golden City
The Jodhpur Jaisalmer express is perfect for traveling from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer (duh) overnight. It leaves from Jodhpur junction itself which is large, colorfully lit, and has an escalator. And you reach Jaisalmer railway station around 6 in the morning which is cold enough to warrant monkey cap, gloves, jacket, and shoes to be worn…

Why Do Children Fall Ill?
I had lunch and finished packing my bags at 3. Then I spent 5 minutes saying goodbye to my roommate which is when I told him that I'm going to North India for a trip. Of course I had to tell him at the last moment, because apparently last month he had gone to the…

OBG practical and Internship Dreams
Woohoo. Finally. I already wrote about the first three practical exams. OBG was a breeze. Went early to the special (examination) ward. Had a 24 year old lady with a previous Caesarean section as my Obstetrics case. And a 65 year old with procidentia uterus as the gynaecology case. I told the examiners that the…

Medicine, Paediatrics, Surgery practicals.
Oh, the last three days! If I had a moment for myself, I would have posted this one a bit earlier. I am usually not very tensed before any exam. But being the last set of exams, and losing 6 months if I don’t get through gave me some horrible horrible dreams on the night…

Obstetrics, Gynaecology, and Paediatrics Theory question papers
Obstetrics The trend of poor specificity in answers continued. Gynaecology Paediatrics Overall, there’s very good chances that I won’t make it in one theory paper at least. Can’t figure out which one.
