Hi,
I'm John, an 18 year-old Scotsman from the capital of Edinburgh and I am in New Delhi for 2 months doing a medical internship. I plan to be studying medicine in the future so this will be a fantastic opportunity to get a close up view of a hospital in India. I'll try to update my blog as much as I can to give a vaguely accurate view of the things I’ve been doing.

Our first day at the hospital was a fairly dramatic start.
After sorting out a few trainee badges for us, Neelofer Abbasi, our main
organizer at the hospital, took us up to ER and literally 30 seconds
after arriving there a woman was rushed in having a heart attack. It was
immediately obvious who the head of the department was as we saw Dr
Navneet walk swiftly over to the woman take a quick look at her and then
start barking commands to all the staff around him.

Hello everyone, sorry it has taken me so long to get this
done but things seem to be happening faster than I can find time to
write about At this point I am just three weeks in and will attempt to
relay most of the things that have happened so far.
I arrived in Delhi slightly later than expected due to
our airplane getting a punctured tire on Heathrow runway. We were stuck
on the ground for two hours at which point I could tell that some of the
passengers were very willing to go out and to change the tire
themselves.
