Another Ladakh trip. but a different setting this round...
Thiksey Monastery Medical Camp
[27 July - 5 August 2022] |
| Our team led by Felicia Tan. |
“Eh Felicia is organizing the medical trip to Ladakh again leh!” Lee Haw Chou lai liao.
“Really ah?! Wah, eh you go pull people, you quickly go pull people let’s go together,” I replied.
“This time round Chang Haw Chong also coming,"Haw Chou said. "Let's see if the dates are good, and let's hope Mike & Suet will be able to come." And they were.
Steady lah!
Lee Haw Chou and Chang Haw Chong are forever the pillars of the orthopods and we were honoured this time round to also have Mike our radio-onco.
Among the other medical team members we have the Chief-organiser Felicia Tan the breast surgeon herself, Yvonne Wong the anaesthestist, Tan Su-Lin our Cambodia-based GP, Meera Magar the gastro-intestinal surgeon from Sushrut Hospital in Phaltan, and Vicky Tan and Shila Das our experienced nurses.
Jeanette Tan was of course, omnipresent.
The volunteers were out in full force, with Paul Fong, Jack Tay, Jay Lamkin, and our indispensable Leow Chin Lee (aka 李太太), Suet and Serene (the Ajumma) Gan.
Such an entourage, this was. The mere thought of it excited me for weeks.
