These are just a few pics of the hospital in Vellore (Christian Medical Center). We spent last week at this hospital for our surgery rotation. One of the photos is of the roof of the CMC building. This is where they are doing the laundry for the operating theatre and wards. In the pic you can see all the bedsheets and surgical drapes hanging out to dry. Under the covered area are all the surgical gowns hanging to dry. After they dry the surgical items they send them to the autoclave. I’ve discovered the big theme for Indian hospitals is “Reuse”. My experiences in India have taught me a lot about the wastefulness of the healthcare system in the U.S. Another pic is of the bustling nursing students on the surgical ward.
