While the end of year is always somewhat hectic at the Clinic, the health situation and the numerous daily cases have not made things easier! Yet, despite the uncertainties, an atmosphere of celebration and sharing is surrounding the great family of the Clinique Bon Pasteur. We are taking a look back at this particularly intense season with Sheela Kamayah and Rajesh Beeyafan, both Nursing Supervisors at the Clinic.<\/p>\n
In the medical field, the end of the year always brings its share of extra work: small accidents, falls, injuries, firework-related casualties\u2026 This year, COVID-19 is adding another layer. \u2018We have had a lot of work since new tasks have been added to our workload: each patient must, for example, do a PCR test before undergoing any operation. We also need to spot suspected cases \u2013 patients with flu, headaches, etc. \u2013 and submit them to an antigen test,\u2019 explains Sheela.<\/p>\n
\u2018Fortunately, things have calmed down a bit. A few weeks back, we were seeing positive patients every day,\u2019 adds Rajesh. While the Clinic can provide first-aid treatment to people with COVID, it generally redirects them to care structures, which are more adapted and better equipped to treat the disease. Beyond the somehow disrupted daily routine, the loss of colleagues and patients also remains on the staff’s mind. \u2018We all feel a twinge of sadness, especially at the close of the year, for our colleagues, who work at the hospital, and for those who passed away,\u2019 Sheela says sorrowfully.<\/p>\n
Despite the surrounding situation, a festive atmosphere is prevailing all the same in the Clinic. Tiny Christmas trees and other ornaments are out to set a discreet and warm decoration. \u2018Since the beginning of the crisis, we have not been able to organise any usual end-of-year festivities; however, the Clinic has indulged its employees with kind attentions,\u2019 says Rajesh. End-of-year bonuses and a quarter of a fourteenth month payment, gift cards, boxes of treats, Christmas cake\u2026 \u2018There is a human touch, which cannot be found anywhere else. Here, we work in a family atmosphere,\u2019 continues Rajesh.<\/p>\n
While employees are encouraged to organise festive get-togethers in small groups, patients also receive special meals to mark the end of the year. Still, for Sheela and Rajesh, the year ends on a hopeful note. \u2018Fortunately, the number of cases has declined, which allows us to welcome 2022 with optimism,\u2019 says Sheela. For Rajesh, it is the teamwork at the Clinic that warms his heart. \u2018Our teams are great and supportive, and this has allowed us to end the year in a good way. The Clinic’s new projects, with the expansion of the operating theatre and a new intensive care room, are spirit-lifting, as the Clinic aims continuously to provide better service,\u2019 he concludes.<\/p>\n
The year ends on a renewal commitment, which offers the prospect of a new year built on hope and confidence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
