What is your greatest achievement?
Married for 35 years (and counting) and two healthy grown up children. Aside from that, working with the wonderful colleagues who over the years have risen to their personal challenges and overcome adverse circumstances, choices and events to become part of the Anaesthesia Collective!
What inspires you?
To be the best I can as often as I can for the colleagues and patients with whom I interact. No two people are the same and each conversation has an infinite range of possibilities – you never know where it will take you!
What advice would you give (or resources you’d highlight) to those who wish to follow your path?
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you must, or should. Just because no one has, doesn’t mean you can’t. Relentless positivity is delusional but will help you to survive. Mentoring is a blessing that anyone can embrace. Listen, be curious, be kind, and be cheerful. Drink tea. Your family is with you longer than your career. The power of prayer is underestimated.
