THE UNWANTED

(Below is an extract from the book "The Unwanted" by the world-famous surgeon Ch. Barnard and journalist S. Stander about the work of doctors in a South African hospital for children).

The telephone on his bedside table began to ring. He looked at it, then crossed quickly to the bed and took the receiver.

"Yes?"

"Professor van der Riet?"

"Yes, yes."

"Moolman, sir. I'm sorry to worry you, sir."

"All right, man. What is it?"

"You said to phone you when I'd seen the X-ray, sir."

"I know. What did they find?"

"The plate shows about two thirds of the right lung is consolidated1."

"Okay, I told you what to do. Have you got the kid in Intensive Care?"

The young man gave a dry, nervous cough.

"The nurse says she can't take the child into that unit, sir."

"The nurse says what?"

"She says she can't take a Bantu child because there's a white child in there," Moolman told him unhappily. "I guess2 we'll have to go on with the treatment in the ward."

"Was that the only reason she gave? Only that there was a white child in the unit?"

"Yes, sir," Moolman hesitated. "But I don't think it was the nurse's decision. The matron told her she couldn't take the baby."

"How did the matron come into this?3"

'The nurse phoned about the new patient and the matron told her not to allow the baby in there."

"What right has the matron got to tell me where I have to treat my patients?"

"I think it was on instruction from the superintendent4, sir."

"But I've ... never mind. Now listen. You go up to that ward and you pick up that baby in your arms and you carry him down to the unit. And God help anybody who tries to stop you. I'll be right over." Deon put down the receiver and turned to his wife.

"I have to go back to the hospital, but it shouldn't take me very long." She did not reply and refused to look at him.

As he did up his tie once more, he thought angrily about the hospital superintendent's interference. He had believed that he and the superin­tendent had sorted out that particular problem at least. When he had started to operate at the children's hospital, there had been room for only one intensive care unit5. Naturally the race question had soon arisen. So, to keep the races separate, he had to operate only on white children one week and only on coloured and black the next. In practice, of course, it was impossible. Disease did not respect the colour bar6. Often a child of the wrong colour would be too ill to be moved back to the ward at the end of the week. Or there would be a black emergence during the white week. He had explained the problem to the superintendent as tactfully as possible!

"It's not working and it's never going to."

The superintendent could see the problem but was afraid to commit himself. "That's all very well, Deon. But we've got to obey the law of the country. You know.""

"Well, if you want to be- so strict about the law then I shouldn't be .illowed to use the same operating room, the same instruments and the same staff on both white and black patients. The whole thing is a farce."

The superintendent had spread his hands. "Deon, I'm here to see that the hospital is run according to the rules."

"You know they are wrong. In future I'm not going to waste my time following rules. And I'll make sure that the parents understand that their prejudice has resulted in their child getting inferior treatment."

(After Ch. Barnard and S. Stande'r)

LESSON TWENTY FOUR (24)

TWENTY FOURTH (24^th) LESSON

College

Part 1

Mr. Fenton This morning the Hunts are coming here so that I can show them the college. Guy and Sarah hope their son'll like it. Simon doesn't want to go to college. If he likes it, perhaps he'll change his mind. He doesn't like studying. Guy thinks Simon's lazy but I don't agree with him.

I doubt if Simon's really lazy. It sounds as if he's interested in other kinds of things.

At his age I didn't want to study, either. You seldom worry about the future when you're

his age. I'll tell him about the advantages of a college education. Then I'll show him the sports ground. If he saw the boys on the football field, he'd want to go to college. And if he sees some of the girls, he'll change his mind very quickly. I hope he's easy to persuade.

Part 2

Mr. Fenton's office

Mr. Hunt Excuse me. Can you tell me where Mr. Fenton's office is?

Secretary The next door on the left is his. Here's Mr. Fenton now.

Mr. Fenton Hello, Guy. Where's the rest of your family?

Mr. Hunt They're outside. I suggested they waited out there.

Mr. Fenton What did you do that for?

Mr. Hunt I thought you'd probably be busy.

Mr. Fenton Nonsense. You ought to have brought them in.

Mr. Hunt They're walking round so that they can see where everything is.

Mr. Fenton I suggest you and Simon and I look round together so that I'll be able to answer his questions. If there are too many people around, you can't talk seriously.

Mr. Hunt Yes, I agree.

Mr. Fenton Let's go then.
