I get a message from great way, a private hospital, through a
vascular surgeon, a friend of mine, a member of my team. She
says, Doc, as I walk through the wards, every nurse stops me and
says, Thank you for these machines. These machines are now
saving lives. A cardiologist from the same hospital, came on the
phone. He was sobbing. He couldn't speak. He cut the call. He sent me
a voice note. He says, here we've been seeing so much of death and
so much of dying. I can't believe these machines have come. And for
those people who given the machines, you gave it for free,
even to our private hospital, we can't salute you enough and those
people who made the machines and gave it for free, thank everyone.
We are saving lives now. And that's the kind of sentiments
coming from everywhere. It's every hospital, public and private
saying, You know what these oxygens are. These machines are
saving lives. We needed them a long time ago.
Thank you so much, doctor for coming on the show and sharing
such great feedback, because the reality is, the status of the
hospitals in our country in this pandemic is scary, and those
messages from the different doctors about counting the number
of dead bodies, but now how this machine has helped them overcome
those challenges is honestly heartwarming. So to you and your
team,
sorry, one more point. I need to make. One more point. Yes, sure.
Go for it. A
doctor from one of the hospitals made the most amazing statement
ever. You know, the nurses, the doctors, have been demoralized. In
the last few weeks. We've lost so many healthcare workers in Durban
alone. Three years ago, we lost eight doctors in two days, you
know, and what that kind of sentiment? One of the doctors in
Eastern Cape said, What is machines, covid 19? You can come.
We're ready for you. Oh, wow, Doc, once again, we can't. Thank you
enough. Thank you for your time in the show and for being a part of
what I feel is like a such a welcomed invitation to trying to
combat this covid 19 pandemic that we're dealing with, and the timing
is absolutely perfect. I think we can't do without any more of
these. So thank you so much, Doc,
pleasure, thank you very much for the invite.
What an incredible that's such a good story. I'm literally smiling
thinking about how well this is going to work in our country. Fact
that it doesn't use electricity, the fact that it's serving the
nation covid 19, I think we're ready to combat this. Yes, please.
So please head on, head on over to their website. Gift of the
givers.org, that's gift of the givers.org because I'm sure
they're also experiencing some shortcomings, and they do welcome
public support as well. So make sure to head on over to see the
progress of this machines on their website. But right now, it seems
like we've hit the top of the hour, exactly eight o'clock. It's
