Description
In 2006, Alex Doruyter and his girlfriend, both medical doctors, moved to one of the most rural hospitals in South Africa on a one year work contract. There was no way to predict the challenges they would meet and the bizarre solutions they dreamed up to combat them. From guerrilla warfare, elaborate hoaxes and death threats to explanations on snake and bat capture, Doruyter details the frustrations and triumphs of his half-imaginary world in a series of weekly letters to his friends and family. On occasions blindingly infuriating, at times uproariously funny, the communications are always entertaining. A must-read for any doctor about to disappear into the wilderness...
