Description: A ROAD LESS TRAVELLED: Boundaries in Dr J. V. Larsen's Career. A young mother to be waits to be examined in Dr Larsen's consulting room.Over the past decade my father saw increasing incidence of HIV/AIDS among young women in his clinics. The occurance of the disease is measured by the incidence among pregnant women. By the late 1990s KwaZulu Natal province had one of the highest HIV infection rates in the world. Although there have been reports of the incidence of the disease abating, the reality on the ground has been different. Even among people well informed about the disease, behaviour change in terms of sexual practices has been slow in coming. The advent of the disease for me was marked by my father starting to wear large goggle-like glasses. My father once cut himself while operating on an HIV positive woman and had to go on a course of antiretrovirals himself. He was so sick he was unable to finish the course but seems to have suffered no ill effects.. Photo: David Larsen/Afric

Many of these he crossed, some to his credit, and some to his detriment. Always, however, it was in the service of others and his God. In the 1960s he crossed the boundary of what was socially acceptable In a nation dominated by the socio-political and economic system of apartheid. As a recently qualified doctor he took his young wife to live in rural Zululand to serve and live among the poorest of the poor on a mission hospital, Charles Johnson Memorial Hospital in Nqutu, rural Zululand.

He did this at considerable cost to himself.

Description: My father always walked the road less travelled. And my mother walked it with him. She was an ever present support through at least two episodes of serious burnout as he sought to hold a regional obstetric service together.from 1981 to 1996. Then, unwise decisions made by the new administration dismantled the structure. The regional perinatal and maternal mortality rates again climbed in the wake of those decisions. Years later the Department is attempting to reinstate the systems my father and other colleagues had put in place. Although officially retired, my father continues to serve, this time in a new sphere of medicine. He was asked to assist in a clinic and hospice for people living with HIV/AIDS in Howick, the town where he has retired. This has required a rapid learning curve, but he finds the work very fulfilling. Photo: David Larsen/africanpictures.net

Description: My father always walked the road less travelled. And my mother walked it with him. She was an ever present support through at least two episodes of serious burnout as he sought to hold a regional obstetric service together.from 1981 to 1996. Then, unwise decisions made by the new administration dismantled the structure. The regional perinatal and maternal mortality rates again climbed in the wake of those decisions. Years later the Department is attempting to reinstate the systems my father and other colleagues had put in place. Although officially retired, my father continues to serve, this time in a new sphere of medicine. He was asked to assist in a clinic and hospice for people living with HIV/AIDS in Howick, the town where he has retired... This has required a rapid learning curve, but he finds the work very fulfilling. Photo: David Larsen/Africa Media Online

Description: A Road Less Travelled: a reflection on the boundaries of Dr J. V. Larsen’s career. My father's life has been defined by boundaries, both good and bad! Many of these he crossed, some to his credit, and some to his detriment. Always, however, it was in the service of others and his God. In the 1960s he crossed the boundary of what was socially acceptable In a nation dominated by the socio-political and economic system of apartheid. As a recently qualified doctor he took his young wife to live in rural Zululand to serve and live among the poorest of the poor on a mission hospital, Charles Johnson Memorial Hospital in Nqutu, rural Zululand. Such was the multiracial character of that community and its impact of the surrounding area that the apartheid security police kept it under careful scrutiny. He crossed the boundary of personal ambition when in the early 1980s he was given the opportunity to go to the top of his profession as professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at the largest tea
