Call me, maybe?

But not really- because I don’t have an international calling plan and that would get expensive. But hey, I love your e-mails.  With less than a week left I want to answer any questions or post any pictures you guys want to see.  Super specific or really broad- I don’t care…I just want to tell you what you want to know! Send me e-mails and I’ll make my next blog a Q&A or just post pictures that I haven’t posted yet- I have a ton.  alexandradezii@gmail.com

I miss you guys! Tell me whats going on in your lives too!

Today at Stephens nursing home, the Stephens (Dr. Ravi and Dr. Rohini) continue to blow me away with their patient care. I spend most of my day with Dr. Ravi as he takes walk-in patients while Dr. Rohini tends to the patients that are there for extended stay. They are healers in every sense of the word. Dr. Ravi is such a careful physician and is astutely aware of his patients’ physical and emotional needs. Many of his patients just come in to talk or share their life-concerns and Dr. Ravi listens attentively, never rushing a single patient. Afterwards, he fills me in and answers my questions.  I make a lot of observations while I watch the interactions and I can usually guess what the patient is saying or what Ravi is prescribing. (It's amazing what I can learn when I stop talking.) When he tells me (in English) what’s going on I always take note in my notebook as “Ravi says the patient is…”  The phrase “Ravi Says” could pretty much be a title to this entire blog.  All that Ravi says goes far beyond just medicine.  He’s taught me little signals to look for, some tricks of the business and has done his best to impart all kinds of wisdom (India related and simply life related). Dr. Rohini, acts like a cruise-director for all things medical.  She has planned multiple little trips for the girls and I to make sure we get the most-well rounded education on Indian medicine (she arranged trips to the Eye Hospital, the kidney transplant and an ortho later this week).  I don’t know what we’d do without these two wonderful physicians!
