Last day. Last hospital. We left early in the morning for Fortis, a gorgeous private hospital in Bangalore. They gave us a tour of their facilities which included a dialysis room, a pediatric out patient department, and their birthing rooms, called "Nest". These birthing suites were large and beautiful, and before each birth the hospital provided months of Lamaze classes and lectures by doctors to each couple.
They introduced us to an anesthesiologist that had led a normothermia campaign in the hospital that had significantly decreased the rates of hypothermia during surgery, and consequently surgical site infections. He was excited and optimistic about the future of my device, which was very encouraging.
Our flight wasn't until 2am, so in the meanwhile the prosthetics team returned to Saint Johns to work with some prosthetics and the hypothermia team took the time to meet and work on our deliverables. We then packed up and had dinner together at the hotel. The hotel was so accommodating to us- they let us check out at 5pm instead of 11am and stay around in our rooms until we left that night.
We got in the van at 8:30 and drove to the hospital, arriving around 10pm. It was the Indian New Year so when we checked in they gave us small gifts and took photographs with us. We went through customs and security (this took forever), and I might have gotten into a small disagreement with a security lady.....
Waiting to board until 12:45, we were absolutely exhausted. But we were so close to getting back. So we ate chocolate and tried to keep one another going until we could board.
