I, Dr S, am looking for one of our patients to go on a weight loss journey with me for the purposes of providing education. The person must be comfortable with talking about their weight in front of a camera. For medico legal purposes they must provide their own phone equipped with camera and will be responsible for all the recording and editing that they may wish to do after which the videos will be uploaded to our page. We will provide all the data. It is negotiable but ideally the person must have a a medical aid in order to do blood tests and at least R500 per month to spend on extra expenses. So called "consultations" will be free of charge. Most recordings will take place after hours between 5 to 7 pm and occasionally on Saturdays. Recordings will take the form of an informal conversation like it would be during a consultation but with the difference that I will be an active member in the process. Previous experience with recording and editing is not needed if the person does not mind unedited exposure. Please let me know if anyone is interested I will contact you directly via WhattsApp.

In South Africa, women are recommended to start pap smear screening at age 21, or when they become sexually active. Regular pap smears are crucial for early detection of cervical cancer, which is a leading cause of cancer death among women in South Africa. The South African HPV Advisory Board recommends annual pap smears until age 30, then every three years after that.

We hope to make a video series about a very specific health matter that is dear to our hearts and are looking for someone to help record and edit the conversations more professionally. Unfortunately we don't have a massive budget, as the dispensary is eating up all the extra money, and so would ask for anyone skilled in basic recording and editing to please contact us.
