Bob's new office: Wanganui Hospital, Wanganui, NZ





Bob loves the multi-cultural environment at Wanganui Hospital, and is working with people from all over the world - South Africa, UK, Sweden, Canada, Saudi Arabia, India, Australia, Ireland and Scotland.  As a O & G Specialist and Consultant, Bob is called to perform the difficult deliveries or "Caesars" (C-Sections).  All non-complicated deliveries are done by Midwives.  Approximately 800 Babies are born at Wanganui Hospital "Maternity" (Labor and Delivery) each year, of which about 10% are water births.

Bob - getting ready for surgery in the "theatre" (operating roon) with his hospital-issued "gumboots" (Wellies).  The surgerical team also includes a "instrument sister" (scrub nurse) and a "house officer" (intern) and "registrar" (resident).  Bob performs a lot of surgery on "clients" (patients) that have waited for up to two years to be operated on.
