an almost encounter with the prime ministers wife

Day started with morning meeting, where the intern gave a summary of all admissions yesterday. There were a few hernia and fractures due to  motorcycle accidents. I decided to go straight to the operating theatre rather than round toys morning.  There was another cleft lip on the schedule. Then there was a second degree burn that needed to be cleaned and debrided.

By this time,  it was almost lunch time.  So I went home,  but I returned at 1 because the wife of the prime minister was scheduled to visit the hospital.  By 1:30, everyone was dressed in their whitest white coat and cap and waiting at the entrance to the surgery building.  By 2:30, the entourage arrived. We could see the cars and we could catch glimpses of her and her delegates add they went into the main building for a meeting.  The visit to the surgery department was scheduled for after the meeting.  So there we waited.  By 3:30, we could see activities across the courtyard. All of a sudden,  lights started flashing and the cars were pulling away.

So there went my chance of meeting someone famous.
