Day 47:
Today and tomorrow I’ll be in the operating theatre again. I really enjoy being in the OT; not only is surgery interesting in the first place, but there’s always something new going on! I arrived and walked in on the tail end of a complete mastectomy. Then I got to observe the removal of hardened tissue from a woman’s uterus and her selective fertilization (basically her tubes were tied). Finally I got to observe part of an abdominal operation where I believe the man had some sort of rectal cancer, had part of his large intestine and/or bowel removed, and the doctors were connecting everything again. I had to leave early, which was unfortunate because there was an entire day of surgeries planned. I did have a good reason, though, because Mr. Ramesh and the IRC team wanted to take Cathy and I out to lunch. We went to this really nice North Indian place and had a huge lunch of really yummy food.

Tonight we had a big group meeting about checking out of
Mathyoo, plans for this weekend, and advice for travelling. Hard to believe
tomorrow is the last day of work!
