So, wie angekündigt meine ersten Eindrücke zu den Unterschieden zwischen afrikanischen und westlicher Kultur. Wenn ich über westliche Menschen schreibe schließt das den Großteil von Europa und Nordamerika mit ein.
Also, meine erste Beobachtung:
in der Klinik hatte ich einen Patienten, der an der Klinik im Januar eine Füllung bekommen hat, die jetzt rausgefallen ist. Also habe ich ihm gesagt, dass ich nicht weiß, wie es im Senegal ist, aber in D hätte er zwei Jahre Garantie darauf und auch wenn ich die Füllung im januar nicht have made, I'd appreciate it properly, if we (as a hospital) they would make him free again. This meant that he was honest enjoys the one hand, as he had expected to be so Zahel for it to have and, second, to the fact that my Senegalese assistant was impressed that in D as long as the labor warranty is given (the idea of \u200b\u200bguarantees is not widespread, it works! the CD player, we have not bought for the cabinet properly, can convert to my demand it I've been told that this has no sense because we have already paid him yes). And yesterday was a colleague, she is a nurse at the clinic, came with pain in one Tooth. The filling in the tooth did not look good, but it has meant that has been kept full for long. 2 years!
Basically you can say I think that is commemorated here rather quickly. Africans tend to go for the "micro solution" than for long-term, expensive and complicated solution. This may seem to us irrational, but if you come from a historical background, where things change rapidly (occupying powers, colonial, slave-holders, policy-base form, etc.), it obviously makes more sense to stay more flexible and not too much vorzuinvestieren. Finally, you never know what happens!
Ciao, Mike
