Improving the efficiency of the Antenatal and Gynaecological Outpatients' Department at Mater Dei Hospital

It is apparent that there is variance in the modus operandi between the various Antenatal/ Gynaecological Outpatients' Sessions at Mater Dei Hospital. In some outpatients sessions, waiting times are reasonable and there is minimal patient overcrowding. Conversely in other outpatients' sessions, the nature of these outpatient characteristics suggest otherwise. Outpatients' sessions are characterised in the main two forms of referral. These forms of patient referral may be delineated as new case appointments and follow-up appointments. Both forms of appointments are regulated by quotas as determined by the firms' consultants. System overload of both forms of appointments may and frequently occur. In the circumstance of new case appointments, unscheduled appointments, denoted as “walk-ins”, may overwhelm the outpatient new case system. Inappropriate referral has been noted in a number of new cases and “walk-ins”. In the instance of follow-up appointments, system overload may arise due to unscheduled reviews. Moreover there may be circumstances where unnecessary follow-up appointments have been scheduled out of habit and not out of clinical need. Excessive waiting time at the outpatients department is detrimental to the service. Patient and doctor frustration rates skyrocket. Many members of the nursing and medical staff feel exhausted after some outpatient sessions impacting morale. The environment is not congenial to efficacious consultation. Locally it has been noted that patients actually left the outpatients department frustrated at having to wait several hours for the consultation. On a positive note the waiting lists are minimal. This undoubtedly is due to the stamina and hard-working character of the nursing/midwifery and medical personnel of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. It appears that the current imbalance due the excessive workload has to be addressed. In the case of many of unnecessary follow-up appointments, there are firms at Mater Dei Hospital that have successfully resorted to telephone interviews. During the telephone interview the investigation results and future follow- up is explained to the patient. This process is backed up by a posted hard copy and occasionally where appropriate by e-mail. Another strategy to deal with excessive numbers of new case and follow-up appointments may involve increasing the number of simultaneous outpatients' reviews by increasing the number of consulting rooms. Capping of walk-ins both as new cases and followups has to be instituted to curtail the excessive number of unscheduled appointments. More efficient implementation of the consultation process should be applied so as to avoid unnecessary prolongation of consultations.

Death to the Originary Narrative! or, Insurgent Multiculturalism and Teaching Multiethnic Literature

In A Different Mirror, Ronald Takaki recounts an incident with a taxi driver as he heads to a conference on multiculturalism in Norfolk, Virginia. In a drawling accent, taxi driver compliments Takaki on his English and asks him how long he had been in country. Alter informing driver that his family had been in United States for over a hundred years, Takaki muses over significance of encounter. Somehow, he writes, I did not look 'American' to him; my eyes and complexion looked foreign (1). And, more to point, he adds: I can understand why he couldn't see me as American. He had a narrow but widely shared sense of past a history that has viewed as European in ancestry (2). Takaki's anecdote holds much import for those of us who teach from a multicultural perspective. It clearly illustrates dogged Eurocentricity that informs perceptions of national identity and culture in United States. Moreover, it shows that these ideas are not simply abstractions, but that they have an impact on daily lives of US citizens, especially those who happen to be people of color. As educators, Takaki's anecdote tells us that we still have a long way to go before thinking behind such incidents is erased from personal and collective memory. Part of struggle remains to rewrite excluded people back into national and cultural narrative. As Takaki rightly affirms, America has been racially diverse since our very beginning ... and this reality is increasingly becoming visible and ubiquitous (2). Teachers and scholars of multiethnic literature are also involved in that battle as we raise canonical issues and proceed with crucial project of recovering neglected writers and situating them in canon. In what most people consider American there has also been type of ethnocentricism exhibited by Takaki's taxi driver. The intellectual and literary version of this type of ideological construction is exemplified by what Nina Baym calls the Originary Narrative. For teachers of multiethnic literature, struggles to eliminate racist euro- and anglocentricity from all facets of our lives cannot be disassociated from dislodging of this literary narrative from theory and pedagogical practice. But, as Baym demonstrates, it is a story as deeply entrenched as its more popular counterpart. Baym traces origins of American literary history, as a field, to cultural agenda of Whigs during post-revolutionary period. (1) The Whigs were promoting, along with early literary historians, a national type based oil what they perceived as superior Puritan qualities and values of self-reliance, self-control, and, most importantly, acceptance of hierarchy. (2) With increasing immigration, Whigs and similarly minded educators wanted to shape citizens along Anglo-Saxon, Puritan lines and they envisioned study of literature as an efficient way to do it. Between 1882-1912, publishers, most prominent being Houghton-Mifflin, cranked out extracts in compilations for public school curriculum that enunciated patriotic, moral, and Christian sentiments, and in true Whig fashion attributed enlightened, prosperous, independent, intelligent, Christian, honest, hardworking, sober and moral character--along with republican institutions that such a character had created--to New England Puritan origins. (82) That this narrative of nation's literary development has origins in a nation-building project is not surprising, nor is evidence that Baym provides for persistence and entrenchment of this uncritical New England bias within academy and its institutions. However, we must take notice of Baym's concluding assumptions and claims that present this Originary Narrative as an insurmountable barrier for literary historians, scholars, and educators. At end of her essay, Baym states that there exists a supposition that authors necessarily articulate a New England vision along with the still functioning preference that they actually be of New England descent (101, her emphasis). …
