Hospital adventure

My chronic sinus problems met with travel stress, elevation gain, Delhi pollution etc. to give me a series of nosebleeds .. one in the middle of the night resulting in a trip to the Woodstock student's dispensary for ice and comfort .. and then a worse one the next day that made folks whisk me off to the Landaur Community Hospital (so kindly accompanied by both Cate and Monica).  I was seen by about a half-dozen nurses of various nationalities and two doctors in the emergency room and given various tests and pokes. The doctors just concluded that it was all of the factors in the first sentence above, and nothing serious, that was causing these.  They prescribed a few pills to take for a few days to get the situation settled, and sent me off.  The whole visit - registration, medical tests, emergency room, blood work - cost less than $20.00.

I have been fine today!
