Someone asked for my thoughts on this early draft of “Citation needed? Wikipedia and the COVID-19 pandemic” at the preprint repository bioRxiv. I look at lots of such papers and often have the same thoughts about them, so I thought I would share my views here to list how I think about medical research on […]

I said, “Why don’t you come live in Benares at my place for a while?” So Pradeep from Mumbai Gay Pride got on a train and came 1600km to visit me from Mumbai. A couple of days ago was Shivratri. I was really sick but Nandan had made special arrangements to go backstage at Tilbhandeshwar […]

I arrived at Heathrow on the night of the second. As soon as I was in the airport I felt like I had come home. I was very sick. It was my plan to take the tube to the train and the train to Chia and Kieran’s place in Essex, so to prepare myself I […]

I came left Benares the night of the 28th and arrived in Delhi Friday morning. It is too hot for touts this time of year. I walked all the way through the train station and no one spoke to me. Nandan told me that I could walk to Connaught Place from the station and I […]

As I was saying, we left Varanasi on Friday. We bribed someone at the train station Rs 40 to get tickets for us from beyond the counter so that we would not have to wait in line. Nandan gave the guy Rs 200 and said that he would be back. Even though he looked like […]

I have had a nagging cough for about two weeks now. It was annoying before I left for the Punjab and it has gotten progressively worse. Today I was walking home from my lesson with M.N. and I actually got short of breath. It scared me so I went to the doctor again just now, […]

I feel bad today. My theory is that this is due to a short course of antibiotics. I took them for five days (five pills) starting January 24, two days (four pills) following February 5, and one day Tuesday January 13 (two pills). The latter two visits included flora treatment for six and ten days […]

I woke up this morning with malaise. Last night I had talked with Abiji about going to a doctor because after one week I still have had diarrhea daily. In the last week I have not felt bad, although I have been tired. I attributed that to going to the toilet approximately twice every night […]

I feel ill. I ate a pear and an orange earlier. My stomach is slightly upset and I think it is getting worse. I do not know whether to blame fruit; all the greasy street food may be to blame. I have perhaps four times at a restaurant which had a wholesome thali – other […]
