This blog is a constructive way to voice my observations, concerns and opinions on health care and other social-justice issues. For me this is way to achieve positive changes instead of becoming overly cynical and apathetic, which is not uncommon amongst health-care workers faced with apparently immutable systems.  I have always been an advocate for positive change and this web page is “a work in progress.”

​

I felt it was important to reflect the life experiences which shaped me into who I am today. Drafting these chapters has focused and strengthened my resolve to challenge the system with an aim to holding decisions makers accountable and to achieve better health and social outcomes. 

​

Being an advocate for “what is in the best interest of patients or the public” has been a part of the fabric of my life from early on starting in high school and continuing to present.

 

What follows are "screen shots" of my life. Other than my parents I have generally not named others who have been influential in my life and, perhaps, I will write a more detailed autobiography in the future.

​

Thank you for joining me on this journey.
