    Hi Dr Letsoalo, first and foremost I'm not a Doctor. I was born and bred in Bergville currently working in Cape Town as a Constable for City of Cape Town Metropolitan Police Department. I want to take this opportunity and congratulate for becoming a Doctor. Thank you for putting Bergville on the Map. I'm really proud of you and your family. Uyibekile induku ebandla qhubeka njalo ngomsebenzi omuhle owenzayo. Stay Blessed and humble.

    I’m a med student, Covid really ruined a lot of things for us. We are nearly there but I don’t think I’m confident enough. To be honest I’m shaking in my pants right now. 😩🥺

      Covid has had us all adjusting to different situations hey. But you're certainly almost there. From someone who just crossed the line, you will be fine, keep pushing and playing your part. There's light on the other side. Finish strong!

    Best RUclips Doctor in the space for me no cap. But please, next time you can not describe the maggots so well and in so much detail, I started feeling things in my own afro. I was getting goosebumps 😂.
    Also big tip on bringing yourself to a position of humility where you can ask questions in situations where you do not know. Love it.
    Excited for more! Good to have you back !

    • @LethukwenamaLetsoalo
      @LethukwenamaLetsoalo  3 года назад +2

      24 hour calls are quite ridiculous hey. It depends on which rotation you are on. Some you barely get any sleep because it's way too busy. Other you might get 3 hours of sleep if you're lucky. Most call are more than 24hours though. they can go up to 30 hours. So it's quote taxing
