well i dont know if i menioned in my last blog but i had booked on to do an padi open water diving course. Everything was going really well but then when it came to have the thing in my mouth for over an hour at a time i couldnt do it. Purely because i fractured my jaw last year (when i had to eat weetabix for a month) and its a problem that just causes me stupid amounts of pain if i annoy it so i had to call it quits. What a fat waste of money! Never mind. Other than that reilly (the man i met last week) went to the black moon party on the beach, many buckets were drunk and it all got quite messy. Got sunburnt yesterday on my nose as ... read more

29 Apr Sat OPD day today and last day with ortho... the team has been so good to me...especially the professor went to see another trauma case....even though it was another team's case....they came and consulted the professor... 20 lady was riding on the back of a skooter...which was hit from behind by a truck. she fell off and her right arm was run over by the truck.... this time was able to see the patient in the casualty....the wound was gruesome...from the upper humerus to almost the wrist....the humerus was sticking out and part of the ulnar was missing....though the radius seemed intact. the vascular supply was intact...but she had complete ulnar nerve deficit and partial median and radial nerve deficit. they decided to put her under anaesthesia so they could better rotate the arm ... read more

Right, listen up folks, if your ever in Hong Kong the best excursion you can do is the 'go racing' trip! I know what your thinking, we're not really into racing, we're not gamblers, WELL NEITHER AM I, but just trust me, this was such good value for money. To be honest when I woke up this morning I wasn't overly in the mood for it, I was still not firing on full thrusters after yesterdays over exhursion excursion, and just wasnt sure if a day spent doing something I normally wouldn't be seen dead at would help, especially as it required me to get dressed up more formally. But it proved just the ticket! I'd organised this via the internet before I went, and had pondered it for a number of days as the offer ... read more

To give you some idea why Rajasthan - the Land of Kings - had always been a big part of my India travel plans, here are some quotes from the LP guide. (Also known as The Book by travellers - make sure you pronounce the capitals - and "your Bible" by sneering touts.) "A legend come to life... magical towns and cities... whimsical, magnificent palaces and forts... collection of small, fierce kingdoms... living by ancient, violent codes of chivalry and death before dishonour". How could I resist that?! My travel plans changed a lot as I read through The Book, but Rajasthan was always a given. I had planned to travel on from Agra by train, but my route through Rajasthan was very much on the Tourist Trail, so it was well-serviced by buses as well. ... read more
