My most moving professional experience was working at the Royal Darwin Hospital during the Bali Bombings.

I’m a specialist medical practitioner in pathology. My sub-speciality is Clinical/Medical Microbiology. I regard myself mainly as a bacteriologist but feel comfortable with all microbial life forms.
These days though I’m working in the Department of Health and Ageing in the Health Emergency Management Branch in the Office of Health Protection. On Fridays I’m an Honorary Visiting Medical Officer in Pathology at The Canberra Hospital.

      Thank you Lorraine. I’ve reading your blog every day :-)

      The only good thing about a Canberra winter is the need for lots of jook.

    Gary, I have been reading your foodie blog and it is making me drool. I’m like Pavlov’s dog looking at the pictures and reading your descriptions. I love reading about the New Year’s Eve meal. Tell our friends I miss them (and the food). I’ll email you a picture of the Paella dinner I made for New Year’s Eve. It was a mixed spanish/cajun short grain Paella with Andouille sausage, scallops, shrimp, mussels, onions, red and green peppers. The color was as pleasing as the taste. It paired well with a lightly sparkling Vinho Verde, or white sangria. We wish we could have shared it with you, Bron and our mutual friends. Hopefully soon. Cheers Mate.
    Jason
