The house is a small part in a sprawling campus. The entire family is full of doctors & they have been running a very successful hospital since the past 30 years. On the facade stands a very modern hospital which specializes in Laparoscopic Surgery.
Along with this hospital, there are 2 huge bungalows, 2 gardens, lots of walkways and the old/original hospital which has been functional since 30 years. It is quite amazing to see the number of people employed & the goodwill they have in the entire village. I guess being well known in a small village has its own advantages.
After a lovely lunch & a short siesta, we were invited by Snehal's cousin to see a Hysterectomy operation. It was my first experience inside the Operation Theatre and we were asked to wear a cap, a mask, a gown & OT shoes. To say I was overwhelmed is an understatement. He gave us an overview of the operation and was kind enough to explain some of the key elements of the operation. Laparoscopic surgery is quite a skill and requires quite a bit of patience & concentration.
We were inside the Operation Theatre for about an hour after which we shared a cup of tea with the Doc who answered some more questions which we were itching to ask. I think this is an experience I will never forget.
The rest of the evening was full of Ganapati preparations with more family members arriving and joining in the preparations.
I am using BSNL broadband to blog & the speeds here in Gokak are blazing. It really beats the shit out my Hathway connection in Mumbai. Excellent Internet & a good mobile phone coverage is all you need to be working for any organization in any part of the world. Maybe someday!
