The Covid beast is rising from its lazyboy sofa. Medical Aid won’t help you at this point. The ICU beds in private and public hospitals are full. Covid admissions are increasing. Think twice when you want to meet up at restaurants and casinos. Stay at home. Stay safe. #COVID19

Meticulous surgical technique is the goal. Don’t catch bowel or ureter ( or anything other than baby ). Be cognisant of the techniques that reduce chronic pain syndromes. Good haemostasis, beautiful scar ✨ I believe in you 💕 and congratulations 👏🏾

I’ll give you some advice as veteran. Internship is simultaneously the longest and shortest experience. Take every opportunity to learn and be taught even if it’s not “your problem”. Use this time when mistakes are “allowed” to perfect your skills at every opportunity ! Good luck
