Thankfully my week did not get worse, but there was a hijacking alarmingly near to the hospital on Wednesday night. I was on-call and was asked to see a boy of 12 who had been thrown from the hospital transport which was returning from our referral hospital. Hijackers then made off with the hospital van! Fortunately the boy was fine but it reinforced my decision to avoid driving anywhere at night.
Aside from crime, South Africa has lots of other benefits including the fresh fruit one can buy at the roadside. Like any African country people buy from stalls and not supermarkets and although the choice is more limited, I have been used to eating the tastiest avocados and juiciest oranges direct from the grower. Its very organic!!
Off to Durban this weekend for a course on TB, HIV and sexually transmitted infections, not planning to get one myself!!
