Where Bubbles Meet

My journal of a doctor experiencing community service inunder-resourced medical facilities, during public sector strikesand the world cup addresses the diffi cult and often funnyexperiences of providing medical care to divers and oftenpoverty-stricken patients. The journal is a personal accountand takes place over a one year period in many differentclinics and types of clinics (primary health care, HIV/AIDS, psychiatry) servicing the West Rand. It also containsphotographs of the clinics, strikes and world cup celebrationsin order to take the reader closer to the experiences.
