TETE-A-TETE (INTERVIEW SEGMENT):
*For this week’s TETE-A-TETE segment, meet our guest... - Dr. @Endopediatria (pediatric endocrinologist)
Tell us about yourself
My name is Joalice Villalobos and I’m Pediatric Endocrinologist in Maracaibo, Venezuela. I founded two Diabetes and Endocrinology Units in public and private hospitals in my city. I work with a team whom I’m very proud. I teach pediatric students at the University for free.
I’m a wife and mother two new graduated youths, one is a Physics Scientist and another Electrical Engineer.
Why you love airclinic
I knew
through an
post where she invited to Spanish community. I take part actively in Spanish discussions. My maternal language is Spanish so I write Spanish posts, some of them in English too.
I think that
Hight and low point on steemit
I began in steemit because I read a
(my son) post. It was very difficult for me, I didn’t understand a lot of things until I discovered discord and I knew several people that gave me a lot of advice. Maybe some of my best posts were seen for nobody.
My first exciting moment was when I was voted bywith very nice comments, the second time when
contacted me for this interview.
Challenges/survival story in your specialty
When I returned from my postgraduate course to my city I found a lot a problems to attend children with diabetes. There were not an adequate office, educator, psychologist... I decided to make a project and knock a lot of doors to find the founds till the 2008 year that we could found a unit in a public hospital with 5 offices, education area, meeting area, waiting area. Besides we could gather nutritionist, psychologist, 2 educator nurses and 4 endocrinologists. I felt a dream come true. We began with 22 children and reached 178. But now the challenge continues because my country is in crisis and we have lost a lot of health workers and right now we are only 2 endocrinologists and 1 nurse. But we are still here fighting for our needed people.
Motivation to study your career.
I decide to study pediatric endocrinology when I knew a family with a girl with congenital hypothyroidism. I had de opportunity to see her recovering with substitutive treatment, but she remained with some grade of mental retardation because her diagnosis was late. I decide to make the difference.
Final words
Every doctor is a leader in his community, but our community is not only around we live, we belong to a globalized world and we can make the difference beyond.
