(our own doct or know who muchyou appreciate them being here for you and your family? ~ Dr. Kamouna enjoys working at MDH emergency To say Dr. Mustafa Kamouna has a lot on his plate is an - understatement. Managing a busy family clinic on Main Street, as well as workmng in the emergency department at Milton District Hospital, a busy day is a normal one for Dr. Kamouna. Fortunately, he loves il. Dr. Kmouna"Most of my days are divided in haîf between emerge Dr. Kmounaand the clinîc," he said, adding that aI the end of the day he's exhausîed. "That's the way I like il." When he's working a day shift aI the hospital, Dr. Kamouna said he usu- ally tries 10 work the momning ini the clinic and the aftemnoon in the emer- gency department, or vice versa. But when he 's scheduled for a night shift aI the hospital, that means a 14-hour shift. "You gel adjusted, but I stili fmnd il long." He said lie gels great satisfaction ouI of helping patients who have been suffering for a long lime. "It feels great if I give the riglit trealment 10 a patient who's been suifer- ing for a while." Dr. Kamouna started practicing in Milton two years ago, and said he enjoys working here. "It's a beautiful town and the people are nice," he said. He decided the emergency department was where he wanted 10 work after doing his student residency there. As for when he decided 10 become a doctor, that goes way back 10 his childhood, he said. "I corne from a medical family. Both my parents were physicians, and il was always my dream 10 be a doctor," Dr. Kamouna said. One of the problems he sometimes experiences is typical for doctors, he said: "Sometîmes there's flot enough time 10 spend with my family." He said he doesn't think the average person realizes just how busy doc- tors are. "They know we're busy, but I don't think they know what kind of work iwe do," he said, adding that the influx of residents int the new section of Milton maris even busier days for doctors.
