I have to say, that's one of the good things the British did leave in a lot of places: the idea that the state should provide some level of care to everyone in society.

Shame that resources (and people like you) are so scarce.

I am always surprised it's not a universal value.

thats not true. 90% of the time that i was available , I assisted you. I think there was only one time that i did not have a real reason.

i_gas you must be one of two doctors i used to work with in the state hospital. are you the versatile surgical mo who turned into a gas monkey when the sun set (a sort of undead thing you had going) or are you the gas monkey mo who would rather have his teeth pulled by an angry baboon than do a private assistance?

i can understand the love/hate relationship with the state. here i sit in Ireland loving the "first world medicine(and first world pay), yet i find myself longing for that mpumalanga three am gunshot abdo, in need of an exciting rescus. i havent smelt "alcohol blood" since i have arrived...

Geez Shadow, you really should read early posts and work forward. Some of the early ones are the best in this.

Some of what you write is very, well, foreign to me. Not the writing, but the context. Could you do a post describing your country's health care system? I have no idea what "state" means, though I assume it's a state-run hospital. Why do you work there? Is it required? Is it an act of charity on your part? Is it the academic/teaching facility?

I long to know....

Bongi -

As a former surgery resident, and a new Emergency Medicine resident, I look forward to your blogs. I also amassed quite a collection of theater caps I would gladly send to you for storage in your car. A small price to pay for the excellent writing you provide. Where can I send them?

rlbates i keep my precious theater caps in my locker in the private hospital. i considered putting one in my bag or car, but seeing that i have lost a theater cap in the past (one that was precious to me) i decided not to take a chance.

Mixed feelings is a good way to put it. So you didn't have your red pepper surgeon's cap with you?
