I was fascinated to compare the medical section make up in an NGO ti that in 2HSB make up. To all medics out there: you are not alone and the same problems are faced by medical sections all over the world. At One-2-One the medical section is usually made up of a 1-2 nurses, a doctor and a few admin staff. They wage war against head lice, scabies, worms and all microbes of non-specific origin. They are fit and ready with their shampoo bottles loaded and set to semi-automatic... As long as they can get someone to drive them to the slums! Getting transport has always been a bit of a drama and so one day Bonnie, a 20-year-old drop dead gorgeous medical student who grew up in an orphanage, decided that she would solve the problem by mounting the saddle in the tuk tuk and deploying the all female team into the 'field'. I couldn't help but relate to their predicament; how many times have we tried to organise an exercise and yet struggled to find a driver for our Mog?! Now this mobile medical section is independent although they do attract a considerable amount of attention on the streets given their chauffeur! Go Bonnie! You are a legend!
