Due to lack of resources there is no much exposure, the department uses CR system

Our department is one of the busiest from mondays until Wednesdays. We get both outpatients and inpatients everyday The department only has one xray room which gets quite hectic during busy days eg orthopedic days and festive seasons. The hospital is very small hospital and we have a very close working relationship and batho pele principle is practised at all times. I personally got to learn more about batho pele principles because the community itself is diverse from different languages to different social statuses, and theri differences does not mean thy have to be treated differently. I enjoyed getting to interact with the community and learn different languages and cultures

Pros: Friendly working environment
Cons: Non exposure to advanced modalities

I want exposure,potential for growth and better salary

Team work is good,support from management is moderate but shortage and resources is a serious challenge. There is no potential for growth and the salary is not satisfying for myjob description.i enjoy seeing my patients recover and leave the premises with a smile. I have learned that team work is essential. I enjoy teaching my surbodinates and students.

Pros: Team building
Cons: Long working hours and shortage of resources
