Day 46

I went with the doctors to give the MDR-TB patients some short counseling before they were discharged from the hospital. At the end of the counseling, the doctors asked the patients if any of them knew what the hospital was called and not a single one had heard the name "Damien" before. They all just called it "TB hospital." I'm realizing it's a very Indian custom to christen places with really functional names and a very western custom to christen places with important people's names.
