A year into Blogging!

Around this time last year, I started blogging as a novice. A year into it, I have derived immense pleasure in doing this as my leisure activity and also as a means to update our colleagues elsewhere about Mongar Hospital. I have received good feedback from those who have seriously read the threads and that is what keeps me going. But there are some mischievous readers who simply log in and mark everything as "funny"..obviously that is someone who must be jealous of my work or is not my wellwisher. I have no ill-feelings.

I am glad that through this blog, a dentist couple previously working in India, found a way to come to Bhutan. They found a job at JDW!

Thanks everyone and am glad that the page views have now crossed 3000! I welcome your comments and suggestions please.

Everyone Looks, but few actually SEE!

Dear Doctors, brothers, sisters, ward boys and girls in the delivery ward and NICU.

Thank you all for rendering your saving, healing and nurturing hands.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for saving our baby daughters life and others who are admitted here. We will not forget the sleepless nights you have spent nurturing our babies. Really and truly, we remain indebted to the tireless service you all render in stabilizing the condition of patients who aspire to live their lives to the fullest span. We would also like to assume that the noble deed you commit never go unobserved in the eyes of the almighty. He would rather rejoice in heavenly abode above that: my son and daughters are realizing that service to the humanity on earth”. More over your profession is in the prophecy of the lord Buddha, whoever shall attend sick shall attain me.”

Thus, we admire your job and appreciate your services. Finally we wish you all the best and healthy lives bestowed with happiness and prosperity.

THANK YOU ALL…

Yours truly indebted parents,

Thinley Namgay and Pema Yangdon.

This note was left by parents of  a 1.2 kg baby girl who was delivered here, resuscitated at birth by a NICU nurse and was in the NICU for her initial 5 weeks and weighed 1.7 kg at discharge!

PS: The baby in the picture is no this baby though!
