Great work

A year has already gone by and the holy month of Ramadan is at our doorsteps !.This is a blessed and special time of the year where each one of us is invited to reach out to God by refreshing his or her personal relationship with the Creator and reach out to others by being attentive and sensitive to their needs.

With your help and valuable support, a lot has happened during this past year. In our constant pursuit of excellence in the provision of quality healthcare services to our patients and their families, in line with our mission and vision, and with a true work team spirit, we were engaged throughout this year in ensuring sustainability for this institution. This sustainability translates itself in the maintenance of the quality of our services and the spread of these services for the community at large. As such, we started operations of the cyclotron equipment which produces the radioactive material needed for performing the latest type of scan in cancer diagnosis and treatment follow-up: the PET/CT scan. We established the sound basis for a strong research department and built strong ties for an on-going collaboration with renowned worldwide pediatric oncol ogy centers for the application of the best and latest treatment protocols. In this respect, the first international scientific symposium for pediatric oncology was organized and held at our premises in the beginning of July. In November, God willing, the hospital’s IT department will be through with Phase I on the road of the hospital’s full automation. The initial phase of operations of our bone-marrow transplant unit will start in a week's time .We are already in possession of the drawings for a new Hospital 57357 branch in Tanta in the Delta Region and for a new guest house near the hospital for our patients' families coming from all across Egypt. In collaboration with Modern School of Egypt 2000, we established the first in-hospital school in Egypt to ensure that our in-patients are keeping up with their school education and exams.

This year at the CCHE, we have chosen to revive this beautiful and true spirit of Ramadan by encouraging each other to detach ourselves of the recently acquired commercial habits which have become synonymous to the holy month and which hinder us from living it profoundly.

Come and join us at 57357 and celebrate with us the true meaning of Ramadan!

Best Careers 2009: Physical Therapist

Next to the clergy, physical therapy ranked highest in job satisfaction, according to a survey conducted by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago. More than three quarters of physical therapists reported being "very satisfied" with their occupation. In a similar survey by the Wall Street Journal's Career Journal, physical therapy rated one of the eight best careers.

????????????????????

why?

And it's easy to understand why:

• You're a one-on-one coach, a role that many people enjoy. It's a bit like a fitness coach but with more skills and you're helping people with more acute problems.

• You usually see real progress. For example, it's touching to see a patient, who came in on a stretcher or in a wheelchair, walk out at the end of treatment.

• Unlike physicians, who often are restricted to 12-minute appointments, you typically see a patient for an hour.

• You have considerable autonomy in how to solve problems, yet, unlike in self-employment, you can get a steady and pretty good paycheck.

• There's variety: Most physical therapists are generalists. You might treat, for example, a brain-injured child, a football player who broke his arm, an Iraq War veteran amputee, and an aged stroke patient.

• You can choose from a wide range of work settings, notably hospitals, physical therapy clinics, schools, physicians' offices, and patients' homes.

• Unlike many other health professionals who must work nights and weekends, you usually have normal work hours.

• Despite increased use of lower-cost physical therapy assistants, the job market for physical therapists is projected to remain strong as the baby boomers are reaching the age where they get more weekend-warrior athlete injuries and more serious problems.

Like all careers, physical therapy has downsides:

• This career is physically demanding. All day, you're moving patients around, demonstrating exercises, and so on. That's a plus for some people and a minus for others who might prefer a desk job. It's not uncommon to leave work with sore muscles.

• Burnout risk. Many of your patients will be newly disabled, in pain, progressing slowly, and/or frustrated by the painful exercises you prescribe. That can take a toll on you.

• Training requirements have been ratcheted up. Not long ago, a bachelor's degree would do. Now, a master's is the minimum, with a three-year doctor of physical therapy increasingly the norm.

Nevertheless, if you're a science- and helping-oriented person, fascinated with the human body, and have an optimistic personality, a physical therapy career may heal your career pains.
