Day 23

I'm spending this week with the nurses. They are the busiest people I've ever seen. They literally know and do everything. People have always said nurses are amazing but it's cool to come to this realization myself. I had trouble understanding what happened to this patient, but I think I got the general gist from Jayapal uncle. Apparently he took his medicine this morning, then felt really bad so he told the nurses that he was going out into the town for breakfast. Instead of breakfast he got super drunk and had a bast gastric reaction to it. He came back to the ward and fell on the ground convulsing in pain before he made it to his bed. The nurse asked Narayannama Aunty to go smell him and she said he reeked of alcohol. They let him lie on the bed for a bit after giving him some medicine, and everytime I went back to take a peek on him he was mumbling on the floor, flailing his arms. They had to take him to the general hospital for an expert doctor's advice. They ended up bringing him back from the hospital and gave him a lot of expensive injections and hooked him up to a hospital tank. 

I got a video of him but I don't know if it uploaded properly.
