Things to Bring when at NU Tech Mediworld

If you are planning to come to Delhi and stay at Nu Tech Mediworld I highly suggest bringing the following items:
Gaffa tape (duct tape) cause it can fix anything! Some things just need to be adjusted.... for example a comode chair used in the shower can pop off and slide around and dump you on the ground. Solution: Gaffa tape works everytime

Scissors: Good for cutting milk containers and anything else that can come in the way, including Gaffa tape!

Mosquito repellent: Cause they are nasty here!

Gatoraide/Poweraide: to help with electrolite loss from working hard or Delhi belly!

Potato peeler: good for apples, carrots bought outside at markets (if you dare) and other fruit cause it can cause those with weak stomachs Delhi belly!
Pepto Bismol: Good for Delhi belly! Seem like a reoccurring theme!??

You're own pillow: The beds are hard enough, a little comfort from home will go a long way!

Probiotics: They tend to give you antibiotics for each procedure so you willl recover much quicker if you bring a bottle of 500 mg probiotics with you.

Patience: cause you're going to need it.... This isn't Australia mate!

Note: An Interesting experience I have had is noticing that some toilets in the hospital have this little steel pipe that comes out of the toilet seat and squirts water if you want it to. The reason for this pipe, some religions here do not wipe themselves with toilet paper but rather use sprayed water. Only problem is that if you are someone who doesn't have sensation in your bum and you don't notice this pipe and sit on it you can get a nasty cut you know where!!! Solution: Gaffa tape, of course!! Just pull the pipe back and tape 'er down mate! You are good to go!
