Some advice I wish I had when I just finished Med school:
1. Slow down your learning a craft , it’s not a corporate job . You have a lifetime to become good .
2. Your body is not the fuel to burn for your job , sleep , eat healthy , exercise and take a holiday every 3 months
@yannleyka Well known reasons :
1. Did you say before “I hope it’s a quiet night “
2. Did anyone complain that the week has been quiet ?
3. Full moon
4. You really needed to rest for something big the next day
5. You upset the medical gods by doing someone a favor
When
Then you told us : we shouldn’t live together
so you could play checkers, with our lives
and tear apart the souls of some
and sow fear
but we didn’t make war
and we stood in straight lines for change
and so our eyes opened a little
Then you told us you’re the saviour
so you could feed and grow fat on us
and you broke everything you touched
and you took your tithe from the hungry
but now we can see
and now we can love
and we noticed as our children played together
and we felt our hearts beat the same

If sending an online consultation to the surgery we advise people NOT to send photos of intimate areas. I am starting to think we need to add “THIS INCLUDES YOUR ANUS - THANK YOU”. #TeamGP
#thepower by @NaomiAllthenews is the most challenging book I’ve read in a while . The premise is simple , and she has wealth of examples to show woman doing what men now do . The undercurrent of BDSM vs GBV was also well handled . I can say much more,but this book will haunt me .
@African_Spring You are spot on . Proximity to JHB, weather , massive harbor, airport . Worked in Umbilo for a year and loved it . Imagine what it would do for the peoples lives if it was growing jobs like Cape Town . It’s a city people wish they could move to if it was beter.
@JustHouse4148@Qhawe_Cindi The whole country is filled with Locums. Loads of opportunities. We have an aging GP population Etc. If they still want to specialize then they have time to wait for MO posts. Neighbor countries also have ER and GP opportunities

My wish for you this coming year is that you hold attention dear
Listen to yourself during times of strife , wether in love or in life
But when you need an ear too,
may your message get through
And may you know what grow and what to let go .
@tikab Add to the physical health risk and mental health risk of the associated hours and environment . This is doctors doing this to other doctors . We have no care for each other.
Interesting community service medical posts about R600k per year , so costs the NDOH 1,5 billion in salaries/year . That’s probably about 2 billion in total costs per year at a guess. On a budget of R60 billion per year that’s a big commitment. I still think it makes no sense
@tikab My personal focus area has always been digital and strategic health ( recently Occ health too) . A forced employement commitment of that size means you have no flexibility in HR allocation. They are year 1 doctors , the legal liability is huge .
