Synovium is a blog authored by Dr Rob, a community service medical officer in orthopaedic surgery

My name is Robert Fernandes. I am a medical doctor at Potchefstroom Hospital in the department of orthopaedics.

 

I have a previous degree in Physiotherapy but my passion for public healthcare led me back to study further and allowed me to reach my dream of becoming a medical doctor.

 

I believe in service to others and have committed myself, and continue to commit myself, to the service of my fellow man. I believe that I am a dynamic individual with a keen sense to view the world with a different perspective and develop solutions for many of societies large problems,  most notably healthcare and education.

 

I live by the saying that you should live your dream and share your passion.
