After over a year of sending documents to South Africa, and 1 1/2 months of being here in person trying to get licensed to operate, it has finally arrived! That was a long, expensive, tiring, redundant, frustrating experience, but it's good to know that they don't just let anyone come over and start cutting on people. I will be working in the "Front Room" (which is basically two rooms that serve as the resuscitation bays) for the first 4 weeks, then I will start taking call and getting the trauma experience that I came here for. I am happy that I've had some time to explore South Africa, but I'm more than ready to get to work. Bring it ON!
Congrats Casey! How long are you their or is this permanent?
ReplyDelete1 year total. Then back to the states for a Critical Care Fellowship.
ReplyDeletethe people of south africa are officially better off if they have a medical emergency than they were before the paperwork was finally finalized.
