Getting there from Singapore was an adventure in itself. I only found out that I was to go there less than a week before getting on the plane!
Part of my job as a doctor is to accompany unwell patients home on commercial flights. In 2004, a call came a week before Singapore's National Day: would I be available to accompany a Tuvaluan home? He had developed a heart condition while working as a sailor in Europe, but was now stable enough to return home to recuperate. The first leg of his journey took him to Singapore, and I was to escort him to his home island in the South Pacific via Australia and Fiji.
And I would be back at work five days after leaving home! |
