You won't believe it, but I'm in Delhi again! The doctor in Haldwani told us yesterday, that we should take the patient to a bigger hospital. It all happened very quickly and without much time to spare. We got emergency train tickets for the three of us and took off at quarter to nine in the evening. We first went to the apartment of the farm owner's daughter and then after a quick breakfast to AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences). It's one of the biggest and best hospital in Asia, busier than Heathrow airport and it reminds me of an ant hill. People are going all directions, everyone is trying to get their or their patients' problems heard.
I'm not going to tell too much about the medical circumstances, but it seems to be a viral fever of some unknown sort. The patient is doing a little better than he was yesterday, but he's still very weak.
For me this means that my plans for going to Nainital tomorrow are not going to work out the way I was hoping. We're hoping others will take over the responsibility soon and we can go back to the farm for a couple of more days. The absolute deadline for me is my train on the 24th from Kathgodam, near the farm, to Chakki Bank close to Dharamsala, my next stop.
