Die Ceres-hospitaal het onlangs \u2019n internasionale dokter verwelkom, wat haar vaardighede vir drie maande vryelik aan die personeel en die gemeenskap gaan bied.<\/p>\n
Dr. Maryam Ahmad van die Verenigde Koninkryk (VK) s\u00ea hoewel sy Eid saam met haar gesin en spesiale vieringe by die huis misgeloop het sedert sy op 2 Mei by die span aangesluit het, is sy dankbaar om by die Ceres-hospitaal te leer en die streek te verken. <\/p>\n
Sy is \u2019n gekwalifiseerde dokter wat besig is om haar studies te voltooi om \u2019n algemene praktisyn te word (die Suid-Afrikaanse ekwivalent van \u2019n huisarts). <\/p>\n
Deur vrywilligerwerk hier verbreed Ahmad haar ervaring, terwyl die plaaslike span die voordeel van \u2019n ekstra paar hande het.<\/p>\n
\u201cDit was moeilik, maar nie op \u2019n slegte manier nie. As dit maklik was, sou ek teruggegaan het,\u201d s\u00ea Ahmad. <\/p>\n
\u201cEk het verwag dat die oorgang moeilik sou wees \u2013 \u2019n nuwe land, \u2019n ander taal en \u2019n ander manier van werk.\u201d <\/p>\n
Sy verduidelik haar rol in die VK is meer gefokus op die bepaling van die volgende stap van sorg vir die pasi\u00ebnt, waar ons dokters meer \u201chands-on<\/span>\u201d is. <\/p>\n \u201cAs ek byvoorbeeld in my land \u2019n pasi\u00ebnt met \u2019n borsknop sou versorg, sou ek haar waarskynlik vir \u2019n biopsie verwys. Hier het die dokters die vaardighede om \u2019n aspirasie op die plek te doen. Die vaardighede van die dokters hier is baie hoog.\u201d<\/p>\n Sy vind dat die gesondheidstelsel en personeel hier met meer bedagsaamheid oor hulpbronne funksioneer. <\/p>\n \u201cIn die VK het personeel standaardtoetse om uit te voer wanneer bloedwerk volgens die pasi\u00ebnt se simptome of toestand bestel word, maar die personeel hier kies spesifiek net die nodige toetse om gedoen te word om moontlike vermorsing te vermy.\u201d<\/p>\n Ahmad het opgelees oor die land en met ander dokters gepraat wat vrywillig deur die Global Health Fellowship Program in landelike gebiede van SA deelgeneem het, maar s\u00ea sy is steeds in sekere opsigte verras. <\/p>\n \u201cEk is verstom. Jy sien hoe \u2019n dokter moeiteloos gaan van die amputasie van \u2019n been na die hantering van \u2019n noodgeval met \u2019n borskasdreinering in die noodsentrum tot die geboorte van \u2019n baba en dan die bestuur van \u2019n chronies siek pasi\u00ebnt in die buitepasi\u00ebntafdeling. Ek is vol respek en bewondering vir die dokters \u2013 beide die seniors en die gemeenskapsdiensdokters. Hulle leer wat hulle moet doen en doen dit net,\u201d vertel sy verder.<\/p>\n \u201cEk het ook die druk gevoel van hoe moeilik dit kan wees om in uiterste omstandighede te leef. Ons het \u2019n 37-jarige pasi\u00ebnt behandel wat in haglike toestande woon. Ongelukkig is hy oorlede en ek het bly dink aan die maatskaplike probleme wat dit nog meer hartseer maak. Het hy verstaan wat fout is? Het hy die impak van dwelmgebruik verstaan? Het hy maklike toegang gehad tot \u2019n kliniek waar hy gewoon het?\u201d<\/p>\n Ahmad is dankbaar vir die span wat haar vinnig omhels het en vir die geleentheid om die omgewing te verken. <\/p>\n \u201cEk het na my eerste rugbywedstryd gaan kyk (go, Stormers<\/span>!) en Hermanus en Kirstenbosch verken. Ek het \u2019n roete by die botaniese tuine in Worcester gedoen en die eerste keer \u2019n dassie gesien. Ek sal graag die tuinroete wil sien. Natuurlik was dit ook belangrik om \u2019n bietjie Afrikaans te leer.\u201d <\/p>\n Haar kollegas skerts en vertel dat sy lag as sy \u2019n paar sinne in Afrikaans probeer ops\u00ea. <\/p>\n \u201cEk s\u00ea vir pasi\u00ebnte dat ek van die buiteland is en dat ek net Engels praat. Soms kyk hulle met groot o\u00eb na my as hulle besef dat ek nie \u2019n plaaslike persoon is nie, maar meestal het pasi\u00ebnte baie positief gereageer.\u201d<\/p>\n Ahmad keer op 10 Julie terug na haar tuisland. <\/p>\n \u201cSommige van die dokters met wie ek gepraat het voordat hulle hierheen gekom het, het ges\u00ea wanneer dit tyd is om huis toe te gaan, sal ek wens ek kon langer bly. Ek is seker dit sal vir my ook so wees.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Die Ceres-hospitaal het onlangs \u2019n internasionale dokter verwelkom, wat haar vaardighede vir drie
