The name of this post is quite funny, but thanks to my Spanish accent I can make this dream come true.
As you read in another post "Me... a foreign doctor in the Netherlands", it was not really easy to find my place as a doctor in Holland.
One day I thought "if I only could talk perfect Dutch, maybe it would be different for me". As soon as I had that thought, I felt some kind of pain in the middle of my chest. Quickly I understood that my Spanish accent made me unique. I got peace and freedom.
Few days later at work in the LUMC I had one of the hospitalized patients who recognized my Spanish accent. He told me very enthousiast that he had been on a medical mission in Bolivia. I found this really fantastic and ofcourse I asked him boldly what about a mission in the Dominican Republic.
He was also very enthusiastic! Because of the doctor-patient relation of that moment it was not really ethical to do "business" right over there. I adviced him to contact me after he got discharged. Few months later we got in contact and this is how this mission started... and all thanks to this beautiful and funny Spanish accent!!!
Thanks Oscar, all the MCC team, Bocas Sanas Latino America and CEPREDIMA for making this dream come true and to help the children in the Dominican Republic.
