To use your best against is the chinese battle to get in shape on al jazeera. Hello and welcome again to rewind im elizabeth purana here on rewind were drawing on a decade of Award Winning documentaries and finding out how the story has moved on since today be revisiting a moving series which followed doctors work against the odds in the south african township of soweto once home to Nelson Mandela so what it was at the forefront of the countrys antiapartheid struggle back in the 1970 s. Hundreds died when student protests were put down with tear gas and live ammunition yet more than 25 years after the end of apartheid so what over maines a dangerous and disadvantaged place at chris hani but ive been at hospital one of the largest in the world and known locally as bada maybe 70 percent of all admissions are emergencies many of them gunshot wounds about as Ophthalmology Department the st john i hospital treats around 50000 patients every year many of them victims of Domestic Violence Bullet Wounds and car hijackings back in 2009 al jazeera aired a series of films on the work of bottles medical teams and today weve chosen to focus on those i doctor is facing a severe workload with insufficient responses here a saving so wet oh seeing the light. So went to a south africas most populous township and home to millions of by. Some chance i can it is part of the massive chris tiny paragon of hospital also known as baron and is the biggest i hospital in the southern hemisphere. Many of so it has poor and indigent utilize the services on offer. We serve a Huge Population here the greatest separators probably at least 2 and a half 1000000 we dont know the exact numbers and we know it is the eye hospital weve been here since 1955 and be part of beara and we have a good reputation we have a lot of social violence Motor Vehicle accidents and it is then also gunshot injuries that come to us and our main function was to do catch a surgery here we are overwhelmed on a daily basis by all the trauma that. Dr rob daniel is a few weeks away from completing his 5 year residency at st johns and he will be moving into private practice and i think that. This is the screening clinic the function of which is to full to offer to needs to be seen today and really to pick up the most urgent problems and really to treats small problems that can be sorted out in a short period of trial. And to me. On a typical day rob can see between 2 and 300 patients. And. The stress of them in this is africa is always short equipment is always a problem. Most of us have our own equipment just to get 3. Diabetics we check the same day because if theres any problem then we want to be able to just pick it up right away or youve got a date for today you can go to. My clinic has got to follow the structure of the scum bag clinic since people with trauma will see them the said they would organize a card for them and then theres a scene in the mines and they don the bottom shift upss. Patients are referred from the Screening Room to the main clinic they can wait most of the day in the queue. Every day weve talked and ill face things that come and see a c. E. O. Or me but people that being should. Know something at this stage was. Your business. Its fantastic. I repeat patient 43 year old polish led into the clinic by his friend pulls blindness was caused by untreated diabetes his wife couldnt accompany him as she is the familys only breadwinner she supports poland their 4 children leave to go to court also his rights are so retreating that essentially trying to make a comfortable its going to make the pirates out without trying to get individually driven through a car. But unfortunately taken a turn for the worse story cause doc to hemant khana a senior doctor to get a 2nd opinion on poles cases and its a big Book Solutions another its coming out good going to 6 i just look at sublight i mean we have to look at that with. The knowledge that eyes open its only going to become very very. Soon so the best option for you really is to have an operation where we remove the our. Hair understand. d that i dont deserve to have reasonable eyesight you cant. If youve got poor vision because whatever we do reusing a license to see the pathology in the eye to make a diagnosis we see more and more of these not cause blindness in a variety of ways tricks earlier in diabetic patients do get damage to the blood vessels. Sometimes they develop new blood vessels which could all at the back of the eye which believe they can get him to just. Thats what thats the more obvious he said new blood vessels growing in abnormal blood vessels which were leaking and bleeding and this race had a huge bleed and that bleed created a cloud that you couldnt see through thats why he had the surgery done yesterday. We have to draw them into nights the next time this patient comes if somebody else easy middle east he knows what weve seen at the last because it would be a good thing to read a book and you know. We deal with people in terms of their life the vision is the most important sense which you have to not have that is so debilitating how all the old laws of the old how old are the. Long time. Looking new ones are broken if you go back to old losses obviously theyre not going to be set up for the new lens that we put inside you are so that could well be the reason. Why its not seeing well in the distance but at least we look for a reason the new found. The moment. Rudnick sees a 75 year old woman he presents with cataracts look like. A simple operations over store has psyched but there is a 2 year waiting list at john. Because thats right so theyre really related to. 60 percent of 6 year olds 70 percent of 7 year olds and song. Know about us and those. Who are the 5 year. Anything can go get when it. Comes that they go. Big smile. That would drop. You know i was. Told as the. Old saying about the eyes the window to the soul. We doctors i mean we deal with people on a very personal basis which is fundamentally based on trust conflict which a patient feels by us caring for them thats what gives us a lot about job satisfaction. Brought thats it. Another day there but. Its. Yeah i mean for some doctors its another day seeing patients on the benches while for hemant its a Pediatric Clinic which brings its own particular challenges. Its wrong. For you. Can suck it they dont like to be touched are you going to try to guess they when they awaken with a plea for. Some sweets. That its always going to be patient with their in the video on these kids who use things like hundreds of thousands just to get an estimate of what their visions last. Year. Lets say you see that. Right. There. I mean really can see me. 80 percent of all sin city put comes from the eyes and also the way you view the wall perceive the world cup and my eyes basically i mean these are kids that i can only know some of them you can do something about someone in your country and it could developmental problems you know when you are walking along the route that follows the boy probably has a neurological disorder if i was he would be referred to bear. For further tests like now you know i show you the small streets he doesnt he can see there you know 3 looks like you can see large objects but you cant see the smaller ones youre not. A part of the bigger than women sleeping babies got some sort of syndrome you know. Todays postsurgery dory will be removing his eyes and inserting a silicone ball into the empty socket to stop the pain that also in his blind eye is causing him. Sorry for him to think so but sorry this is painful because of his blindness paul has never seen his young son in. My love my mom or my son the last one i do. I dont know you so what 10 miles from here and. Im getting my yeah well the more i look at. Everything whats called the restoration. Basically or move the corner and put in a silicone ball to give some volume to the orbit they closed. Down the ice block 3 opted to give him a final solution and deliver suresh right now im just cutting rather coming into. The work with 3 other things with the. Following place in the world you never get because the exposed to so many different conditions. Right so thats arsenic and or. Where weve put the silicone bowl in our now were just going to close up were going to close the sclera in the country when were done. Really well there are a lot of problems like complications to the success of the treasury. And it should be filed polish it should go out tomorrow. The doctors at st johns i can volunteer their free time to operate on a few of the fouls and so waiting cataract surgery. Called the mercy list this gives sight in one eye to those who are completely blind. Who was there on the board. All. The time was it you should feel its ok. That was. The most a list patients are fortunate to jump the 2 year waiting list on this issue is to learn to live with all of them under local anaesthetic so none of the patients are going to be really asleep reject them with the local anesthetic injection every go. Youll see that start going away in ok slowly slowly. The simple procedure will change their lives restoring their vision and independence in only 20 minutes. If agree want to try to groove a perfect operation youre going to try to perfect each there because if you get into their private mix the next step is here. We have a couple weve developed in millions or billions in your eyes normally clear. As you get older it becomes a pacifier. And this was a quote here. From what we just remove the their natural lives we set a catholic and that you personally is going to replace the patients and thats really because if we dont put a lens in the patient going to a very strong glasses the focus. Of this man stays in the. Case off but i think we need to do never anything. No pain. Finish operation when a very nice. Letter all about the course only work of course rob is about to perform his last cataract surgery at st johns before completing his 5 year training at barron his last patient is a paraplegic hes hoping to make her life easier with one less disability. By 0 point one and done clear allowed to continue to carry the deceit. All made me want to see all the big books and. They do and it was. The incidence of cataracts is extremely high no matter where you go its the bread and butter of any of the mothers you practice because its the most common problem. Its actually the most Successful Operation that we have in modern made some that means that the results are good one of the reasons i did up some of that was you wouldnt most of the town. I want to vacuum 200 pieces of from other diseases is probably one of the fastest areas of growth and medicines just unbelievable i mean a year ago i was telling patients theres nothing i can do for you for this or that condition and today i can offer them the treatment is just you know exciting. Ropes move into private practice will allow him to keep up with the latest technologically found suits which barack turned to his office. The doctors have operated on 8 mostly list patients come and finishes with the last patient of the day. Enjoy what can ya enjoy doing your procedures if i can. What gives me excited is getting sidetracked so thats a real big deal to them and the other thing is this isnt also an Academic Institution so. Theres always new things from. The so many things with the 4th line because i think in the future we should be able to cure almost all blunders and. Kill them. Its got to both they do. In the afternoon rob gets another perspective of barack from the. Plates to floss more or less quite challenging to the very technical of the technical side. Of a research. Page to flog her home but it really is amazing to read liberates experience. We have a problem the problem of the palm. Pilot. To one of. The others or the up of all. My wallet out and the problem for your father who of us of the. Over here oh yeah wait a minute there are one hospital. Is a sister on the goldmine of experience.

One a little by little of that book. Living admitting that he. Put that little. Place to live my job the bigger was so. When we 1st met dr Robert Daniel he was finishing his 5 year residency at st Johns Hospital its a way to. A decade on he continues to serve the community he set up a charity called banani which means let us all see inside africa zoo to learn which. This is Incredible Technology what what it does measures a childs vision from one meter in one second and it gives us an automated result from the day we able to screen our children who have pathology and we then expose them to a fool i examine national and allow them to be treated in the 1st told environment. Because this is so simple that in such a portable we literally in a in a toilet. And we can deliver this to everybody. I got. 5. With his portable quint dr daniel can set up his clinic anyway including this toilet in a Community Center he can examine 300 or more children in one session. It was his time at st Johns Hospital in soweto to inspire him to continue serving the poll even though he now runs a successful private practice with the latest technology. I think spending. A very popular. In front of the experience on to me that. No. Privileged group of people i conned to. The aspects of life weve done all have. Dr daniel treats adults its an eye clinic based in this church. Of god. In english we call it a cataract so the cataract means that the lens. Is. Were going to arrange for you to have an operation. 10 years later the plight of you every person for community in south africa is no better perhaps even a little worse than what it was this is a great motivator for us to keep giving back to these communities and to a little bit to improve their lot.
