About this ebook
My journal of a doctor experiencing community service in
under-resourced medical facilities, during public sector strikes
and the world cup addresses the difficult and often funny
Author
Dr Suzanne Walter
I am currently a palliative care doctor working for Hospice. I studied Medicine quite late as I had first done a BA, Honours and Masters degree in Psychology. Qualifying as a doctor in South Africa requires 2 years internship and one year community service. My community service was done in a variety of rural and community clinics with poor medical resources. I wanted to capture some of these experiences through a journal.
