'Notes' on hypertension.

摘要

I had gone to Hyderabad to attend an International Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Workshop. The workshop was inaugurated with an impressive video presentation. It seemed like a Military Operations Room (Ops-room). One wall of the room was converted into a huge liquid crystal display (LCD) screen, which displayed the silhouette of the city of Hyderabad with skyscrapers. The audience could hear a phone ring, just as a red spot started blinking in one of the buildings on the far left on the screen. A phone call informed the audience that the blinking red dot on the screen represented a patient with acute abdomen. The person on duty in the Ops-room passed some instructions on his blue-tooth speaker phone and a doctor from that institution, similar to a James Bond film, rushed up in a lift and took off from the rooftop in a helicopter.
