Where Bubbles Meet

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

experiences of providing medical care to divers and often

poverty-stricken patients. The journal is a personal account

and takes place over a one year period in many different

clinics and types of clinics (primary health care, HIV/

AIDS, psychiatry) servicing the West Rand. It also contains

photographs of the clinics, strikes and world cup celebrations

in order to take the reader closer to the experiences.
