Goodbyes.

As in most of the Southern hemisphere, the academic year runs January-January here, so for our community service doctors and therapists, their year in Mosvold is shortly to come to an end. We are also losing our dietician and speech therapist as well as the other British doctor who has been here for 18 months. That's quite a lot of people for a small community. We're still awaiting confirmation of their replacements (we've all recently recieved a copy of a letter from the Dept of Health stating that as KZN is anticipating a high level of year-end over-expenditure, they are implementing a Provincial Recovery Plan. They are freezing all posts. Oh and only heads of dept are to travel buisness class to meetings).
Anyway, going back to the leaving, it was felt that a formal xmas/leaving party was required so, Fancy Stitch was opened up for the evening for a sit down dinner (with all the guests providing various dishes) and a photo-montage power point display.
Now we are 6 doctors until January 1st. And we await our new colleagues and hopefully friends.
