Medical Council reforms a healthy move
Published on Aug 1, 2014 6:54 AM
One of the ways in which the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) acts as a watchdog of the public interest is through its disciplinary hearings process. This process gives edge to its regulatory function of ensuring that doctors in Singapore live up to the high professional and ethical standards of their calling. The SMC's stringent powers are necessary to prevent doctors from becoming a closed group of professionals who can hold the public to ransom, particularly the individual patient who does not possess the specialised skills to understand, let alone challenge, medical decisions. The council's powers seek to protect the legitimate interests of doctors as well.
However, any system can be improved and a resolve to bring about useful change was clearly evident in the recommendations made by a committee set up to review the handling of disciplinary hearings by the council.
The committee's final report, which comes nearly two years after the High Court criticised the SMC over how it had handled a disciplinary hearing, focuses on several key areas. Speeding up inquiries would help lift some of the mental pressure on doctors facing hearings, while improving legal processes obviously would enhance the value of the disciplinary hearings. Increasing transparency, particularly in the appeals process, would deepen the credibility and acceptability of the disciplinary scheme to doctors. The SMC has said that it is in broad agreement with the recommendations of the committee.
Even as doctors stand to benefit from the SMC improving its processes, one issue important to the public is the charging of medical fees. Guidelines would help patients take informed decisions on seeing specialists in particular. What price premium would be appropriate for expertise and experience? And how would one determine who is top in a field? A system that provides hard data with which to make comparisons would inspire greater public confidence in the financial aspects of the medical system.

The parts came on time. The instruction is not very clear. I had to look up on youtube how to take out the old one. Installing is very easy. It just snap-in. The only required tool is flat tip screw driver.

GLAMOUR has now been especially designed for your device!
30-day FREE trial
We reckon a lot of new mums will identify with Hayden Panettiere - she said she feels like an
"80-year-old woman" after childbirth.
The 25-year-old Nashville actress gave birth to her and
her fiance Wladimir Klitschko's first child, Kaya, on 9 December,
but the blonde star admits her body is still feeling the effects of
her pregnancy and she is trying to work out which parts of her body
will return to normal eventually and which won't.
She said: "I feel like an 80-year-old woman trying to go down
the stairs, you know, please tell me this is temporary. But I know
some things will never be the same again.
"I'm limping around. I'm still trying to figure out what
[pregnancy] has done to my body, how it's changed it. What's
temporary and what's permanent."
Hayden Panettiere admits her and the
38-year-old boxer's child is putting her "through the ringer" with
her "insatiable appetite" but admitted she doesn't mind because her
bundle of joy is so adorable.
She said: "She's really so sweet. I'm sure that's the way it's
meant to be, because when they are putting you through the ringer
you're like, 'You are so lucky you're cute!'"
Hayden and Wladimir are enjoying getting
to know their little one but the actress was quite glad of a rest
when the fighter's mother insisted on taking care of Kaya for a
"Wlad's mom was desperate to take the baby for a night. She
looks like she didn't get much sleep, but I feel well-rested!
"[It is] such a surreal experience and so out of body. You're
suddenly looking at this little thing like, 'Oh, that was you in my
belly this whole time.'
"[We're] just getting to know her."
Congratulations to Hayden Panettiere and her
fiance Wladimir Klitschko, the pair have welcomed
their first child together.
Her rep has confirmed the birth of
her baby, and revealed that their little girl has been
named Kaya Klitschko, and weighed in at 7lbs., 14 oz. She was
born on Tuesday, 9 December.
The 25-year-old broken the news
about her pregnancy during her ALS Ice
Bucket Challenge back in August.
"I accept my ALS Challenge,"
the Nashville star said in a video. "I
renominate Kacey Musgraves - you're not getting out of this,
Wladimir Klitschko, and my unborn child."
Hayden Panettiere told Glamour
US. "I've lived a very big life, and I don't feel my age, and I
feel like I was born to be a mother. Sometimes people speak about
[having kids] like, 'Your life ends-you're never going to be able
to do anything again!' And I'm like, 'What are you talking about?'"
she said. "Motherhood is the most beautiful, exciting thing, and
there's nothing that I feel like I can't accomplish while having
children in my life."
Kaya is the first child for
Hayden and her 6-foot-6 husband-to-be. The couple briefly split
back in 2011 after two years of dating before rekindling their
romance in the spring of 2013.
Hayden Panettiere is about to give birth
to a baby girl any minute now - but
the Nashville actress was still dedicated to
sporting a sexy Halloween outfit.
Posing in an animal-print bikini, with leopard-style face
paint, Hayden showed off her growing bump to her
Twitter followers, writing "Happy
We think the soon-to-be mother looked great!
It's been quite the year for Hayden - not only has she been pregnant in
real life, but we'e hearing that across the pond, her on-screen
character Juliette Barnes is set to have quite the
pregnancy rollercoaster as well. But who's the baby daddy? We can't
wait to see!
It was her first red carpet with a baby bump, and
Nashville actress Hayden Panettiere rocked it at the 2014
Emmy Awards!
The TV actress - who is pregnant with her first child - showed
off her growing baby bump in a low-cut
silver Lorena Sarbu gown. Hayden teamed her dress with
Salvatore Ferragamo heels, Judith Leiber clutch, and Fred Leighton
But apart from her killer dress, it was a night of celebration
for the star, who revealed she's expecting a baby girl - by
"I can't wait for her to come out, this little one," Panettiere
said, to which Giuliana Rancic replied, "It's a girl?"
The star confirmed the exciting news to E! before
showing off her dress.
The ALS ice bucket challenge just got its youngest nominee - Hayden
Panettiere's unborn child.
Yup - the Nashville actress used her ice bucket VT to
confirm the news she's expecting, as she said: "I accept my
ALS Challenge, I renominate Kacey Musgraves - you're not getting
out of this, Wladimir Klitschko [her fiance], and my unborn child"
before getting soaked in a car park.
Derek Hough, who's currently guest starring on
Nashville, posted the video of Hayden to his Twitter and
Facebook with the caption: "Couldn't figure out
how to post it on @haydenpanettier twitter so I'm
posting it for her . #als #icebucketchallenge (Hayden shortly went
into labor after this ) Jus kiddin [sic]"
Watch it for
yourself below...
Nashville actress Hayden
Panettiere is pregnant and expecting her first child with
fiance Wladimir Klitschko, reports American celebrity magazine
Us Weekly.
"Hayden is totally pregnant!" the insider tells the magazine.
The 24-year-old TV star, who found fame on Heroes, has
been engaged to 38-year-old Wladimir Klitschko for a year.
Speaking about her future with Klitschko in an interview with
the May 2013 issue of American GLAMOUR, she expressed her
desire to start a family.
"I've lived a very big life, and I don't feel my age, and I feel
like I was born to be a mother," she said. "Sometimes people speak
about [having kids] like, 'Your life ends - you're never going to
be able to do anything again!' And I'm like, 'What are you talking
about?' Motherhood is the most beautiful, exciting thing, and
there's nothing that I feel like I can't accomplish while having
children in my life."
She even joked about what her kids with Klitschko might look
like on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in November
2013: "He's got bowlegs and I've got knocked knees, so they're
going to have straight legs. And they'll be normal height."
No word from Hayden
on the reports, so for now we'll congratulate her on this exciting
news. Will the Nashville writers put in a pregnancy
storyline on the show? If so, life's about to get a lot more
complicated for Juliette Barnes.

Hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome (HHNS) can occur when blood glucose levels exceed 600 mg/dl (33.3 mmol/l), but ketosis (ketone bodies in the blood) is not present. With such high blood sugars, the body becomes severely dehydrated. HHNS occurs most often in the elderly and people who are on medications that raise blood glucose levels. Impaired kidney function is also a risk factor.
HHNS is a life-threatening condition. If you experience any of the following symptoms of the syndrome, seek emergency medical care immediately:
- Excessive thirst and dehydration
- Nausea and vomiting
- Disorientation and confusion
- Sudden hypotension, or low blood pressure (as evidenced by faintness)
- Visual problems
- Extreme, unexplained fatigue
- Fever
- In advanced cases, coma, seizure, and/or hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body)
Treatment for HHNS involves administering intravenous fluids (i.e., saline and sometimes electrolyte solutions) to restore fluid balance. Insulin therapy may also be required.

Voyager 1 in uncharted space
NASA: Craft likely to exit solar system
LOS ANGELES – The unstoppable Voyager 1 spacecraft has sailed into a new realm of the solar system that scientists did not know existed.
Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2, launched 35 years ago, have been speeding away from the sun toward interstellar space, or the space between stars.
Over the summer, Voyager 1, which is further along in its journey, crossed into this new region where the effects from the outside can be felt.
"We do believe this may be the very last layer between us and interstellar space," said chief scientist Ed Stone of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which manages the spacecraft.
Stone presented Voyager 1's latest location at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco.
Voyager 1 is on track to become the first man-made object to exit the solar system. Exactly when that day will come is unknown, partly because there's no precedent.
Stone estimated Voyager 1 still has two to three years to travel before reaching the boundary that separates the solar system from the rest of space.
Scientists were surprised to discover the unexpected region at the fringes of the solar system – a testament to the mysteries of space.
For the past year, the team has seen tantalizing clues that heralded a new space environment. The amount of high-energy cosmic rays streaming in from outside the solar system spiked. Meanwhile, the level of lower-energy particles originating from inside the solar system briefly dropped.
Because there was no change in the direction of the magnetic field lines, scientists were confident that Voyager 1 had not yet broken through. They have dubbed this new zone a kind of "magnetic highway."

Settlement of the Cape Colony
The Dutch East India Company, always mindful of unnecessary expense, did not intend to establish more than a minimal presence at the southernmost part of Africa. Because farming beyond the shores of Table Bay proved necessary, however, nine men were released from their contracts with the company and granted land along the Liesbeek River in 1657. The company made it clear that the Khoekhoe were not to be enslaved, so, beginning in that same year, slaves arrived in the Cape from West and East Africa, India, and the Malay Peninsula. By the end of the century, the imprint of Dutch colonialism in South Africa was clear, with settlers, aided by increasing numbers of slaves, growing wheat, tending vineyards, and grazing their sheep and cattle from the Cape peninsula to the Hottentots Holland Mountains some 30 miles (50 km) away. A 1707 census of the Dutch at the Cape listed 1,779 settlers owning 1,107 slaves.
In the initial years of Dutch settlement at the Cape, pastoralists had readily traded with the Dutch. However, as the garrison's demand for cattle and sheep continued to increase, the Khoekhoe became more wary. The Dutch offered tobacco, alcohol, and trinkets for livestock. Numerous conflicts followed, and, beginning in 1713, many Khoekhoe communities were ravaged by smallpox. At the same time, colonial pastoralists—the Boers, also called trekboers—began to move inland beyond the Hottentots Holland Mountains with their own herds. The Khoekhoe chiefdoms were largely decimated by the end of the 18th century, their people either dead or reduced to conditions close to serfdom on colonial farms. The San—small bands of hunter-gatherers—fared no better. Pushed back into marginal areas, they were forced to live by cattle raiding, justifying in colonial eyes their systematic eradication. The men were slaughtered, and the women and children were taken into servitude.
The trekboers constantly sought new land, and they and their families spread northeast as well as north, into the grasslands that long had been occupied by African farmers. For many generations these farmers had lived in settlements concentrated along the low ridges that break the monotony of the interior plateau. While it is difficult to make population estimates, it is thought that some of the larger villages could have housed several hundred people. Cattle were held in elaborately built stone enclosures, the ruins of which survive today across a large part of Free State province and in the higher areas north of the Vaal River. Extensive exchange networks brought iron for hoes and spears from specialized manufacturing centres in the Mpumalanga Lowveld and the deep river gorges of KwaZulu-Natal.
Thus, by the closing decades of the 18th century, South Africa had fallen into two broad regions: west and east. Colonial settlement dominated the west, including the winter rainfall region around the Cape of Good Hope, the coastal hinterland northward toward the present-day border with Namibia, and the dry lands of the interior. Trekboers took increasingly more land from the Khoekhoe and from remnant hunter-gatherer communities, who were killed, were forced into marginal areas, or became labourers tied to the farms of their new overlords. Indigenous farmers controlled both the coastal and valley lowlands and the Highveld of the interior in the east, where summer rainfall and good grazing made mixed farming economies possible.
Cape Town was developing into South Africa's major urban centre, although it took many years for it to equal the size that Mapungubwe had attained some five centuries earlier. The initial grid of streets had been expanded and linked the company's garden to the new fortress that overlooked Table Bay. Houses featuring flat roofs, ornate pediments, and symmetrical facades sheltered officials, merchants, and visitors en route between Europe and the East. A governor and council administered the town and colony. While the economy was in principle directed by the interests of the Dutch East India Company, in practice corruption and illegal trading were dominant forces. Both the town and the colony existed in large part because of slaves, who by now outnumbered their owners.

Acid Reflux Disease
Posted Dec 19 2009 6:47pm
Acid reflux or Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) disease occurs when the acid rich liquid content of the stomach regurgitates into the esophagus. This acid-rich liquid can inflame and damage the lining of your esophagus. The refluxed liquid may also contain bile that that has backed-up into the stomach from the small intestine (duodenum).
The stomach acid is the most harmful component of the refluxed liquid. Although bile may damage your esophagus, the extent of the damage is not as completely understood as the damaging effects of stomach acid.
Unfortunately, acid reflux is a chronic condition. There is no acid reflux cure. Even after you receive treatment for acid reflux disease and your esophagus heals, the symptoms of acids reflux will return, and the damage will reoccur.
Acid reflux symptoms
There is not a clear-cut cause of acid reflux. The causes of acid reflux can vary from person to person. Some people simply produce a higher amount of stomach acid, but in most cases the following factors contribute to acid reflux in patients:
•Obesity - Excess weight puts extra pressure on your stomach and diaphragm, the large muscle that separates your chest and abdomen, forcing open the lower esophageal sphincter and allowing stomach acids to back up into your esophagus. Eating very large meals or meals high in fat may cause similar effects.
•Pregnancy - Pregnancy results in greater pressure on the stomach and a higher production of the hormone progesterone. This hormone relaxes many of your muscles, including the lower esophageal sphincter.
•Asthma - Doctors aren't certain of the exact relationship between asthma and heartburn. It may be that coughing and difficulty exhaling lead to pressure changes in your chest and abdomen, triggering regurgitation of stomach acid into your esophagus. Some asthma medications that widen (dilate) airways may also relax the lower esophageal sphincter and allow reflux. Or it's possible that the acid reflux that causes heartburn may worsen asthma symptoms. For example, you may inhale small amounts of the digestive juices from your esophagus and pharynx, damaging lung airways.
•Diabetes - One of the many complications of diabetes is gastroparesis, an uncommon disorder in which your stomach takes too long to empty. Left in your stomach too long, stomach contents can regurgitate into your esophagus and cause heartburn.
•Peptic ulcer - An open sore or scar near the valve (pylorus) in the stomach that controls the flow of food into the small intestine can keep this valve from working properly or can obstruct the release of food. Food doesn't empty from your stomach as fast as it should, causing stomach acid to build up and back up into your esophagus.
•Delayed stomach emptying - The most common time for acid reflux is during the day, after you eat. Studies show reflux commonly occurs at these times as a result of LES relaxations caused by distention of the stomach with food. In addition to diabetes or an ulcer, abnormal nerve or muscle functions can delay emptying of your stomach, causing acid backup into the esophagus.
•Connective tissue disorders - Diseases such as scleroderma that cause muscular tissue to thicken and swell can keep digestive muscles from relaxing and contracting as they should, allowing acid reflux.
•Zollinger-Ellison syndrome - One of the complications of this rare disorder is that your stomach produces extremely high amounts of acid, increasing the risk of acid reflux.
•Lower esophageal sphincter (LES) - The LES is a specialized ring of muscle that surrounds the end of the esophagus joined to the stomach. Your LES opens when food or saliva is swallowed, but closes to prevent reflux. Acid reflux occurs when your LES abnormally relaxes or contracts weakly. Extended relaxation or weak contractions allow more acid to travel back up the esophagus.
•Esophageal contractions - Swallowing is a key factor in preventing acid reflux. When you swallow, you contract the esophageal muscles. This contraction pushes food, saliva and acid back into your stomach. In certain patients, this contraction is not strong enough to push the acid back into the stomach.
•Hiatal hernia - Hiatal hernias are another contributing factor to acid reflux, although doctors and researchers are not sure how they contribute. Studies show that a majority of patients who suffer from acid reflux also have hiatal hernias.
Studies also indicate that people with hiatal hernias don't always suffer from acid reflux disease. A hiatal hernia occurs when a small part of your upper stomach that attaches to the esophagus is pushed through the diaphragm. This forces the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) to lie in the chest. As a result, your LES is no longer level with your diaphragm. Normally, the pressure exerted by your diaphragm and LES prevents reflux, but after the LES is pushed into the chest, the additive pressure of is decreased.
Hiatal hernias may also contribute to your acid reflux disease because when a hiatal hernia is present, a hernial sac is also present. This hernail sac is separated from your esophagus by the LES and the diaphragm. In certain cases, the hernail sac traps acid coming from your stomach, which means it is easier for the acid to reflux whenever your LES relaxes.
Symptoms of acid reflux oesophagitis
•A painful or burning sensation in the upper abdomen or chest, sometimes radiating to the back (heartburn).
•Difficulties breathing and suffering from hoarseness because the refluxed fluid irritates the larynx and respiratory tract.
•Excess belching is common.
When does acid reflux occur?
•After eating a large or fatty meal.
•After drinking alcohol.
•Lying down, bending over or bending and lifting.
•After smoking.
•After eating chocolate, caffeine, onions, spicy foods, mint and some medications.
•Lying down soon after eating.
•After taking tranquilizers, such as benzodiazepines including diazepam (Valium) and alprazolam (Xanax).
•After taking Theophylline (Elixophyllin), an asthma medication. In some cases, acid reflux symptoms may have no apparent cause.
How does acid reflux affect you?
•Acid reflux is unpleasant and can greatly affect your lifestyle.
•Acid reflux symptoms can lower your quality of life.
•Prolonged exposure to refluxed acid leads to oesophagitis (inflammation of the oesophagus), and in extreme cases can cause scar tissue that makes it difficult or impossible to swallow.

'Rhino horn has the medicinal benefit of chewing your fingernails'.
The phrase is meant to be off-putting, a layman's interpretation of the results of scientific tests.
It is a key statement being echoed in the West to discredit the medicinal use of rhino horn in Vietnam, but it doesn't work. Instead demand for rhino horn continues to rise.
One of the reasons the statement doesn't have impact in Vietnam as in the West, it is based on science not supported by Vietnamese world views.
Try and squelch a people's belief in the efficacy of a centuries old miracle cure with science?
I was having coffee at Vasco's with Phung the husband of an English friend of mine in the quiet backbar. Live music played in the background, but it was still too early in the evening for the club in downtown Saigon's Hai Ba Trung St to get hectic. It was January 2011 during the weeks coming up to Tet orChinese New Year and everything was winding down for the most anticipated holiday of the year. Phung owned a video production company and was talking about a movie-industry Tet party he'd attended. It suddenly occurred to me to ask him about a story I was working on. Had he tried rhino horn because I'd heard its use was spreading among Vietnam's elite? He hadn't he said, but broke out his iPhone and found a popular website in Vietnamese, vietbao.com.
Phung read the site then translated. The article said the whole body of the rhino is a "miracle medicine". Even its shit is a miracle – a pain killer – when drank with alcohol. In an article called "Why is rhino horn more expensive than gold" the writer claimed to have drank some of this rhino-dung alcohol made by a man named Viet from Cat Tien National Park (Rhinos had lived in Cat Tien National Park, which is near Saigon, until early 2010). He claimed it had reinvigorated him after an exhausting day of trekking in the forest. I told Phung cynically that it would be a miracle feeling better after a strong drink mixed with rhino dung and added that the account of drinking shit only showed how desperate some Vietnamese were to experience the famed rhino elixir. Phung totally gobsmacked me by saying that he believed it.
"Why would there be so much talk if it wasn't true," was his reasoning.
Symposium examines innovative approaches to tackling wildlife crime:TRAFFIC release
"Muldersdrift, South Africa, 26th February 2015—Ground-breaking community-led approaches to combating wildlife crime around the world will be shared at an international symposium taking place in Muldersdrift near Johannesburg from 26-28th February, attended by researchers, community groups, government officials, UN agencies and NGOs," a release by TRAFFIC says
"Entitled Beyond enforcement: Communities, governance, incentives and sustainable use in combating wildlife crime, the symposium looks at ways to engage those communities living side by side with the world's wildlife, to protect key species targeted by the illegal trade while securing their own futures.

"Media are invited to attend the closing panel discussion among high level representatives of key governments, donors, and policy-relevant institutions, reflecting on implications of symposium findings on 28th February.
An Eastern Cape game and hunting reserve in South Africa has had two poaching attacks in 11 days with five rhinos killed for their horns and one injured.
The hunting reserve owner suspects that it was the same professional hunters in both poaching incidents. In the most recent attack on February 22, three rhinos were killed and had their horns cut off while a fourth, a cow, was found by helicopter. Eleven days before two rhinos were shot and killed on the same property.
The reserve manager Frank Krull says they discovered the recent attack because they were using a helicopter to spot rhino to dehorn them as a safeguard after the first attack, the Daily Dispatch newspaper in Port Alfred reported.
It all started when the reserve owner Elvin Krull, 80, found the first two rhino carcasses on a remote part of his property during a routine drive.
As a journalist in Vietnam, I came across the country's illegal trade in rhino horn with South Africa when Vietnam's last rhino was killed in 2010. Since then rhino poaching deaths in South Africa have grown from 333 to over 1200, but a month ago an incredibly brave rhino, who survived a brutal poaching attack, had a calf. The birth has been heralded as a symbol of hope, so I came to see this very special rhino called Thandi for myself and meet the people at Kariega Game Reserve in South Africa's Eastern Cape, who have helped her on her amazing journey of recovery.
The assistant head ranger at Kariega Game Reserve, Jacques Matthysen, known to his friends as Matt, is passionate about rhino conservation.
He smiles as he leans against the 4WD somewhere in the reserve's 9000 hectares.
I'm out here with Matt and a local TV crew to see Thandi, one of the few rhinos in South Africa to survive a poaching attack.
ABOVE. This video shows Thandi's calf hiding in the thicket almost 4 weeks after the birth. I was taken into the hiding place in the last light of the day and focusing through the dense thicket was very difficult. Rhinos generally stay out of sight for about 6 weeks after giving birth.
We talk while we wait for the Head of the Reserve Protection Agency, Mirko Barnard, to come back with news of where Thandi is hiding in the dense thicket below us.
The ranger says he can't believe that Mirko and his young anti-poaching offsider, JC Crouse, didn't take a video when they were lucky enough to witness Thandi give birth in the bush.
There's no excuse, Matt says, the two anti-poaching guys had plenty of time to get out their iPhones to video the baby rhino's arrival.
"A wild rhino giving birth and they don't think to get a picture?" he shakes his head.
"Not just a wild rhino, the most famous wild rhino?"
Matt has nine years of working with Thandi. He loves the new mother like she was family.
The Southern White Rhino and Matt have shared the best times and the worst; he's been with her during her 16 month pregnancy and he's been with her through the most agonising nightmare that a rhino can endure.
Thandi was poached for her horn almost three years ago along with two other rhinos at Kariega Game Reserve in South Africa's Eastern Cape.
The three rhinos had been out in the open plain for days in plain sight of a road. The poachers came at night, darted them at with tranquilizers, followed them until they were drugged and defenceless, then moved in and hacked their horns off below the bone with pangas (machetes).
Thandi's injuries were the worst (photos taken on the day show multiple hack marks that didn't hit their mark) but she was the only survivor. Of her two companions, one bull rhino bled out before the vet arrived and the other bull, Themba, died 24 days later in a waterhole.
The vets and the Game Reserve didn't find out until Themba's autopsy that the muscles in the bull rhino's leg had been slowly dying. The awkward way he had fallen during the attack had cut off the leg's circulation. Though the rangers tried to hold him out of the water, Themba (which means courage) was too heavy for them and he drowned.
The morning the three rhinos were discovered Kariega decided to call the media and tell the world.
Though many game reserves try to keep the negative stories about rhino poaching on their properties out of the media, Kariega General Manager Alan Weyer says, "We wanted to let people know what was going on."
The vet, Will Fowlds, who was first at the scene, says he got the call from Kariega that a rhino had been butchered by poachers and was still alive. He was in the car when he got another call that there was a second rhino. Ten minutes later they called again to say there was a third.
"It was traumatic before I even arrived," Dr Fowlds says.
"The rhinos were found within a few hundred meters of each other. It was obvious they had stuck together during the attack."
An Eastern Cape journalist, Sandy McCowen, who has reported on wars and natural disasters around the world, says the aftermath of the attack was the "worst thing she's ever seen with animals".
The scene overwhelmed her and she cried along with the other journalists present, because the animals were "so defenceless" and obviously suffering such pain.
The TV journalist, who is now doing the follow-up/flipside of the story at Kariega covering the calf's birth, remembers asking the vets to do something for the rhinos' pain, but the vets said it was too risky because the pain killers could react fatally with whatever drugs the poachers had used.
"I felt so helpless, so powerless," she says.
For the crowd of staff, rangers, journos, police and vets running around the reserve's top plain that day it was a scene they will never forget.
Amid the chaos Thandi got back to her feet and shambled bubbling blood into the bush. At the same time, her horn was being passed through the hands of a syndicate, moving quickly to its final destination in Asia – most likely Vietnam (the biggest end market for rhino horn, sung te giac) or China. The three horns were probably out of the country within two or three days.
Since the media got the story of the mayhem and tragedy that occurred, people from every corner of the world have opened their hearts to Thandi.
Shock and helplessness has turned to joy now Thandi has calved; sheltering with her new son or daughter in dense thicket on the reserve. Much to Sandy's camera man and editor's frustration, rhino and calf will avoid the cameras until the calf is four to six weeks old.
The return to motherhood is a return to normalcy for the rhino and a return to normalcy for everyone at Kariega. It's a sign for everyone around the world who cares, who's followed her progress on social media, who's contributed towards the surgery she needed, that rhinos can survive.
Matt, who has the build of a Springbok rugby player and the heart of Aretha Franklin, says what Thandi has accomplished is "remarkable". He says after the attack he couldn't speak for a year of Thandi (whose name means "One who is loved") without crying.
Matt smiles inwardly when he recalls arriving half an hour after the calf was born, "Seeing that little youngster… it was literally just skin and feet and ears."
"The birth is a symbol of… the best word that comes to mind… is hope."
"If we carry on doing what we're doing there might be a little bit more hope in people's hearts. By bringing out this whole story of the poaching of rhinos to the world it just gives a little more clarity in people's minds and hearts of what's going on."
A member of Kariega's kitchen staff, Adri Pienaar, says the whole staff at Kariega were saddened by the attack and inspired by Thandi's fighting spirit and the birth.
Adri, who like Thandi was attacked a few years ago and left for dead, says when she feels like she can't cope she thinks of Thandi.
"Thandi is an inspiration that people can survive," she says.
Thandi and her calf are also an inspiration that rhinos can survive.
Images of horror and hope: The recovery of South African survivor of rhino poaching Thandi
Locals go to the Muti Market in Durban to buy medicine and magic for them and their house.
The market which is behind Victoria Market deals in Zulu traditional medicinea made from fresh herbs and plants, bark, and animal and marinelife parts.
Some parallels can be draw between Muti and TCM and Vietnamese traditional medicine as herbs and animal parts are used in combinations.
The animal parts sold at the Muti Market however are more crudely prepared than animal parts sold in medicine streets in Vietnam. The bones and remains of animals here still have meat on them and are foul smelling.
This dealer talks about a bucket of black paste that wards off evil. While I was there a woman came and bought some of this paste mixed with three types of dung, different bark and wood chips, minerals and car engine oil to keep "the devil" from her house. She paid 150 rand.
The stall proprietor said the bucket of black paste can also make a person strong if it is put into his blood. You can make a cut in your arm and rub it in and then nobody can kill you, he said.
New Era Health Group has become the first State-owned Chinese company to include a zero tolerance policy towards the use and gifting of illegal and endangered wildlife products within the company's formal Code of Conduct, Traffic has reported in a statement.
The move came after wildlife trade specialists from TRAFFIC and WWF were invited to talk to senior company representatives about wildlife conservation, forest protection, and other environmental issues as part of a series of environmental training lectures held at the company's headquarters in Life Science Park, Changping District, Beijing last month.
New Era's Code of Conduct for employees now includes a commitment that "consumption and procurement of illegal and endangered wildlife products, including but not limited to business banquets and gifts, is not permitted."
The company has also committed to raise public awareness about the issue and ensure the policy is adhered to within the company's management structure and beyond. New Era also intends to promote messaging about biodiversity conservation and resource sustainability within other State-owned enterprises and the direct-selling industry. The company hopes their actions will contribute towards a better economy, society, environment and human health.
The survivor of a savage attack by poachers has not only recovered from her awful injuries she has had a baby and the conservation movement is celebrating.
Two years ago Thandi along with two other rhino was tranquilised and had her horn hacked off below the skin by poachers. The vet who found her thought she couldn't survive.
The South African movement to protect rhinos is thrilled with the miracle baby born this week and is watching for more news of the young rhino.
The baby hasn't been named yet as they are waiting to discover its sex.
"Thandi's survival has already given us inspiration, but the birth of her calf brings a new dimension of hope to the crisis showing us that a future generation of life is possible if we put our minds and hearts to it," the vet (pictured) who found the rhino after the 2012 attack Dr Foulds says.
