Internship in Paarl, 2004, (Cape Winelands) and JHO year, 2005 also called Community Service year in a town called Piet Retief. ~ 4 hours from a Metropolitan hospital. It’s always interesting when you are only one of 3 in town who can legally give an anaesthetic and or perform a C-Section.

Special interests in Trauma, Medical Leadership and Prehospital and Retrieval with focus on medical response to endurance event athletes
Outside from work I’m a home body, but you’ll have me keen for a Rugby Union match or anything that involves good red wine and travel.
