Dr Ben comes with a lot of credentials above his medical degree and he isnt content to stay there, he is now studying to be a surgeon! His other qualifications are perfectly suited for us, such as “Advanced Cardiac Life Support” which will be a real asset in training all of our staff how to use the defibrillator machine we keep on site. But most of all, his best asset is himself. His personality has the ability to make all others around him happier, which is perfect for the line for work we do. A happy environment is a healthy environment, a healing environment. In many aspects the environment is as important as the program and with Dr Ben, we have been blessed.
Why Howard asked him to join the team
“Ben has an amazing temperament and makes everyone smile. His laugh is infectious. I trusted Dr Laila to review his medical credentials, after all I’m not a medical doctor. But after that, the humanitarian side is so important. Coming to a new place filled with people you do not know, in some of the worst places in their lives can be very scary. Having such a friendly face assess their medical needs can really help to put them at ease. This factor should never be overlooked in our industry”
