Many of us will remember entering the New Year either partying, drinking champagne or a choice wine and or eating cook-up or some other specially prepared dish. Some of us remember going to a church service or a midnight mass praying for a better year or singing praises to our God.
Either way, church or party, we put on our best clothes to while away the night and welcome a New Year.
Relishing the moment
For doctors Gavrielle Cave, Alex D’Aguiar and many others in the medical or nursing profession breaking the New Year’s tending to patients is an inescapable yet satisfying service. Doctors spending special holidays at a hospital with colleagues, other staff members and even patients has become a norm with everyone being part of the extended family.
Dr Cave recalled that she broke the 2023 New Year’s Day event free, but the hours that followed were filled with life-saving activities.
