Rounds with the Doctor . . . November 14, 2007

Volunteers are welcomed and encouraged to join the doctor on Wednesday morning rounds, so this morning I took the opportunity to first attending the brief staff meeting which was following by rounds.  Dr. Maistry is a wonderful blend of professional and compassionate. Her brief background description of each patient, and update on their treatment and progress, was something I found very interesting and helpful.  We only covered one floor, but it was such a great experience.  Later in the day, she invited myself and another volunteer to visit the Albert Luthuli Central Hospital, a public/private referral hospital.  The largest and most modern hospital in South Africa, it is fully electronic, working on paperless principles, and utilises the world’s leading edge medical equipment.
