I seem to have spent a fair bit of time over the last several weeks explaining that I am Australian. And still many people in Oro Bay do not believe me, and keep referring to me as Indian. But as Hugh Jackman reminds me through song (alas! via the iPod and not in person!) - Australia is my home.
And that's where I'll be soon. Things have not worked out well at Oro Bay. With a well-equipped hospital a short distance up the road, and plenty of capable nurses at Oro Bay, there is not nearly enough work for a full-time doctor in that position. I trust that I may still be able to help the community at Oro Bay from home, and maybe one day (God willing) return.
Many many thanks to everyone who has helped and supported and prayed during this time. I am looking forward to catching up with you. In the meantime, I will continue to find stories to tell you via this site...
Sincerely,
Sharmini
