At Wellington hospital the Kiwi runs differently. There a hectic surgeon breaks the plaster
out of the ceiling because he would rather go to the golf course instead of the operating
theatre. The chief surgeon leaves the cut open patient in the middle of the operation and
conducts a discussion of the situation. And when the lights go out in the operating theatre
only the newly arrived German anaesthetist seems to be bothered. But she'll be right says Doc
Why Not as he is soon called by his colleagues. In New Zealand not everything is trimmed to
efficiency there is a friendly tone even after the biggest mistakes and one can deal with
earthquakes better here than with drunken fellow human beings. Without mincing his words the
doc describes his daily culture clash on the other side of the world.
