Dr Roux Martinez, then a resident in trauma and transplant surgery in Cape Town/South Africa, answered the question why she became an active member of the Brotherhood of Blessed Gérard:
"Indeed, there are many reasons for doing this service. My first motivation was simply to help as a doctor and there was something I always wanted to do. All these years I have been working in high-tech modern hospitals and trying to be a good doctor. I really tried to take care of the patient as a human being besides all the examinations, X-ray diagnostics and complicated technology and when I first came here - I only came here (to visit) because it was bad weather and I couldn't go to the beach and sunbathe that day - I entered this house and I found this heaven of care.
I found this sky of care
