... consultant round the ward as part of a larger group (like "groupies" as it were) and with us were a pharmacist (who carried a space age notebook computer around his shoulder with computer access to the patient's notes which I thought was quite trendy and that the NHS should look into those), a pharmacology student, 2 other doctors and 2 nurses going from patient to patient dragging a computer on some wheels.

I located a helpful taxi driver who told me I would be cheaper to spend the night in the town of Senai, where the airport actually is.
