It has been three hours since we arrived at (eye)AD. We got checked in, went through security, ate Pizza Hut pizzas, and somehow managed to get to our gate right on time for boarding… only to find out that our flight has been delayed by one hour. While Brooke and NJ are halfway across the Atlantic Ocean with pretty views, we have the unfortunate view of Shayan and Noah enjoying the extra leg room before our flight.
We’re off to a rough start, but we are looking forward to start our rotations at Aravind! For the past two weeks our team has been rotating at the Wilmer Eye Institute at Hopkins. We split up into three groups:
- Cataract Crew – Natsuha and Noah
- Glaucoma Gang – Disha and Shayan
- Retina Royals – Brooke and NJ
After observing various surgeries and clinics, we are really excited to use our new insights to better understand eye care in India. We hope to arrive in Madurai after 28 hours of travel ready to go with our first day of rotations!
Hopefully our flight won’t get too delayed, but hey, at least Shayan can finally do his travel course.
