I would like to share a very nice experience that I had recently!
I am a retired gynaecologist and I was formerly very committed to my obstetrical patients.
My daughter in law and son invited me to join them for a fun scan in Amsterdam at Dr. Papas practice. We gynaecologist generally have a great prejudice against so called “fun scans” and often think of them to be unnecessary. This however turned out to be a very different experience. We were welcomed by a very charming, nice and well spoken Dutch Antillean, Dr. Elvin Papa. There he sat in a beautiful building behind a beautiful ultrasound machine. It would have been far too expensive for my former hospital to purchase for us gynaecologists.
Everything was shown, the entire body of the baby, all of the organs, cardiovascular and we then found out the sex. The actual fun part was that we got to see a very good impression of the baby’s face in 3D.
Dr Papa does a lot of training and monitors the up to date developments with regard to ultrasounds, this was evident and the whole examination went well and was very relaxed. An ultra sound can reveal some problems or causes for concern but luckily we had good news so we were able to celebrate. It seems to me of course very important that if you did unfortunately have any cause for concern during the scan that you woud be in very good hands with Elvin Papa. He would know how to comfort and refer you. Hopefully this does not happen very often.
I wish him every success.
