Hy het hierdie diens aan die Weskus verlede jaar gestig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEk wou van jongs af al deel van die nooddienste word omdat ek \u2019n passie het om mense te help. Iets wat ek nie van my beroep besef het voor ek begin werk het nie, is hoe aansteeklik dit is. Hoe meer mense jy help, hoe meer wil jy help,\u201d verduidelik Gouws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDit was die hoogtepunt van my loopbaan toe ek my passie op \u2019n groter manier kon versprei danksy hierdie ambulansdiens in die Weskus te stig. Dit was nog altyd \u2019n droom om my eie ambulansdiens te h\u00ea en so aan die gemeenskap terug te gee en ook om \u2019n gaping te vul waar soveel hulp benodig word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vir baie pasi\u00ebnte is Gouws en sy kollegas die eerste mense wat hulle in \u2019n noodgeval sien. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Noodwerkers se werk kan uitdagend en emosioneel uitmergelend wees. Gouws s\u00ea dit is waarom dit belangrik is vir paramedici om gesond te bly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEmosie speel \u2019n groot rol in ons daaglikse lewe. Wanneer ons as paramedici op \u2019n toneel is waar daar hartseer is, het die publiek dikwels die siening dat ons nie emosioneel geraak word nie. Ons word ook emosioneel; ons is ook mense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBaie paramedici ly aan post-traumatiese stres-versteuring (PTSD) of depressie. Jy as mediese praktisyn moet in moeilike omstandighede altyd sterk staan. Die werk kan ook baie fisiek raak en dit is dus belangrik om fiks en gesond te wees,\u201d maan hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Om as paramedici te werk, is egter nie net hartseer nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c \u2019n Algemene werksdag vir ons in die nooddienste kan party dae beteken jy doen niks, maar ander dae kan jy van die een noodgeval na die ander jaag tot jou skof verby is. Dit is wat die nooddienste so lekker maak, want geen dag is dieselfde nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gouws meen enigeen wat daaraan dink om \u2019n beroep in die nooddienste na te streef, moet weet hulle sal hard moet werk. \u201cSo iemand moet \u2019n paar eienskappe h\u00ea om in die nooddienste te kan werk. Die belangrikste is om tydens \u2019n noodgeval en hartseer jou kalmte te behou en professionaliteit teenoor die pasi\u00ebnt en familie te toon. Jou kennis en behandeling m\u00f3\u00e9t akkuraat wees aangesien jy met iemand se lewe werk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sy raad aan jongmense is om hard te leer en gereed te maak vir die uitdagings van die beroep, want \u201cdaar is nie<i> room for error <\/i>nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Om van sy werk af te skakel, is vir Gouws belangrik en hy ontspan veral met sy gesin wanneer hy nie aan diens is nie. \u201cEk geniet dit ook om af en toe vis te vang,\u201d bieg hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hy wil graag verder in nooddienste studeer en uiteindelik daarin spesialiseer.<span>.<\/span> Dr. Nomafrench Mbombo, die Wes-Kaapse minister van gesondheid, het Dinsdag ges\u00ea Nood-medici-dag gaan oor samesyn. Sy s\u00ea noodpersoneel moet dikwels die \u201conmoontlike\u201d doen, terwyl sommige medici selfs deur mense in die gemeenskap aangeval word wanneer hulle probeer help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOns doen \u2019n beroep op die hele samelewing en die regering om ons te help om ons personeel in die voorste linie te beskerm,\u201d het Mbombo ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Die nooddienste is \u2019n belangrike en besonderse bedryf om in te werk en dus het Weslander ter viering van nasionale Nood-medici-dag
