Today I visited a retirement village on the outskirts of Pokhara, all the oldies were so cute and wanted photos taken with their new glasses!
The reality of catching two local buses everyday hit home when I drove past a head on collision with a school bus...
At the hospital today we were called to a patient who "expired" it was all peaceful until the consultant decided to violently start CPR, but only about 7 compressions and then told the family casually that she had expired. I asked about DNR orders (do not resuscitate) and she said they "kind of existed". It was really traumatic and confusing for the family watching.
Either try and save them and do CPR properly or just leave them...
Anyway, it seems like there are very few protocols around the hospital and things like this happen all the time.
