Op \u2019n gradeplegtigheid beskryf akademici soms die moeisame proses om \u2019n PhD te voltooi as \u2019n \u201cwonderwerk\u201d, maar toe dr. Chris Jurgens, \u2019n dosent in siviele ingenieurswese aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US), sy PhD ontvang het, het hy nuwe betekenis aan die frase \u2019n \u201cwandelende wonderwerk\u201d gegee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die trajek van Jurgens se lewe het op Donderdag 9 Februarie 2023 in \u2019n oogwink verander. Hy was op sy motorfiets op die R44 op pad na Stellenbosch \u2013 \u2019n roete wat hy male sonder tal al gery het. Op di\u00e9 noodlottige oggend het \u2019n besoeker van Namibi\u00eb wat verdwaal het, die pad voor hom onwettige gekruis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Net toe Jurgens uitswaai om \u2019n ongeluk te vermy, het die voertuig in dieselfde rigting versnel. Hy het die agterdeur van die motor getref, onmiddellik sy bewussyn verloor en afgryslike beserings opgedoen \u2013 skedelbreuk, ernstige bloeding op die brein, \u2019n gebreekte pols, \u2019n gebreekte skouer, geskeurde knieligamente en \u2019n long wat platgeval het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Ongelooflik toevallige reeks gebeure en \u201cwonderwerkers\u201d het sy lewe gered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n \u2019n Reeks wonderwerke<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dat Jurgens die botsing oorleef het, is te danke aan \u2019n reeks gebeure wat s\u00f3 gunstig op mekaar gevolg het dat dit moeilik is om te glo dit is nie deur \u2019n ho\u00ebr mag georkestreer nie. Daarom dat die nadraai van sy ongeluk so \u2019n groot impak op sy geloof gehad het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die eerste mens op die toneel was \u2019n verpleegster van die nabygele\u00eb LifeShine Wellness Centre, wat Jurgens se hand vasgehou en hom gemaklik gemaak het. Sy het die aandag van verbygaande motoriste getrek. Oomblikke later het \u2019n oogkundige, wat ook \u2019n motorfietsryer is, stilgehou. Die verpleegster en oogkundige het noodhulp begin toepas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Net toe Jurgens se hart ophou klop, kom Ryan Wills, Mediclinic se opleidingsbestuurder vir noodsorg, daar aan. Hy is selde self betrokke by noodbehandeling op ongelukstonele, maar het toevallig daardie dag mediese toerusting wat vir opleiding bedoel was, in sy motor gehad. Wills het met behulp van di\u00e9 noodhulptoerusting Jurgens se hart weer aan die klop gekry en \u2019n ambulans ontbied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wills en die ER24-paramedikus het in die ambulans \u2019n asemhalingsbuis ingesit en Jurgens aan \u2019n ventilator gekoppel. Op pad na die hospitaal het nog \u2019n ingryping verseker dat Jurgens betyds noodbehandeling sou ontvang. \u201cTerwyl hulle besig was om my te stabiliseer, het my vrou, Alet, my gebel \u2013 suiwer toeval. Die ambulansbestuurder het my selfoon geantwoord en verduidelik wat gebeur het. Hy het haar gevra om dadelik na die Mediclinic Vergelegen toe te gaan en solank die nodige vorms te begin invul sodat alles gereed sou wees vir my om opgeneem te word. Toe die ambulans by die hospitaal opdaag, het al die dokters gestaan en wag \u2013 gereed in hul teaterklere. Daardie kosbare sekondes het gehelp om my lewe te red.\u201d Dokters het eers \u2019n noodoperasie uitgevoer om die druk op sy brein te verlig. Daarna het rekonstruktiewe chirurgie op sy knie, gebreekte skouer en arm gevolg. \u2019n Vergruisde pols wat deur \u2019n handspesialis as onredbaar beskryf is, is uiteindelik deur \u2019n ortopediese chirurg se ingryping gered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit was ongelooflik, die regte mense op die regte tyd . . .\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Die lang pad na herstel<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alet het vir \u2019n week daagliks hospitaal toe gegaan, onseker of dit die laaste keer sou wees dat sy haar man lewend sou sien. Jurgens het wonderbaarlik deurgetrek, maar die pad na herstel was lank en veeleisend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Terwyl Jurgens stadig sy fisieke en kognitiewe vermo\u00ebns herwin het, het sy gesin om hom laer getrek. Die onderskraging van sy vrou en kinders, sy ouers en peetouers asook die onwrikbare steun van die US-gemeenskap, het \u2019n belangrike rol in sy rehabilitasie gespeel, benadruk Jurgens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n \u2019n Nuwe lewe<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die ongeluk was \u2019n \u201calgehele oorbegin\u201d en \u2019n nodige ingryping, glo Jurgens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel die ongeluk byna rampspoedig was, het dit Jurgens \u2019n grensverskuiwende insig besorg. \u201cVoor die ongeluk het ek met uitstel gesukkel,\u201d erken hy. \u201cMy doen-lysies was eindeloos, maar terwyl ek in die hospitaal was het ek gewonder: \u2018Wat sou hulle op my grafsteen skryf? Hier l\u00ea Chris, \u2019n gawe ou wat nooit iets klaargemaak het nie?\u2019 Dit is nie wie ek wil wees nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vasbeslote om te verander, het Jurgens in Julie 2023, net vyf maande n\u00e1 die ongeluk, na die US teruggekeer. Hy het hom met nuutgevonde ywer daarin verdiep om sy PhD te voltooi wat fokus op tegnologie-aanvaarding in die konstruksiebedryf. \u201cVoor die ongeluk wou ek net my tesis klaarkry,\u201d s\u00ea hy. \u201cNou is ek baie trots op d\u00edt wat ek met my navorsing bereik het. Ek het twee keer so hard gewerk om iets te lewer waarop ek werklik trots is. Ek het ook besef dat ek regtig baie, baie lief is vir die Universiteit Stellenbosch. Ek geniet dit om met studente te werk en hulle op hul eie vorderingsreise te help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jurgens het nege maande n\u00e1 sy onge\u00adluk al sewe mense, wat instrumenteel was in sy oorlewing, gaan besoek om hulle persoonlik te bedank. Hy beplan om aan elkeen van hulle \u2019n gradepleg\u00adtigheidfoto in sy rooi doktorale toga te stuur as \u2019n blyk van sy waardering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel hy dit mis om op sy motor\u00adfiets te ry, het hy sy vrou belowe om nooit weer op \u2019n motorfiets te klim nie. \u201cSy het my gewaarsku: \u2018As jy ooit weer aan \u2019n motorfiets raak, skei ek van jou!\u2019\u201d lag Jurgens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
