One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

camino de santiago de compostella, mt kilimanjaro, mt everest basecamp, K2 basecamp, overland from tibet to nepal, cataract surgery in east timor, fought off wild dogs in eastern turkey, dining at the golden temple in amritsar, hitch-hiking across canada, sailing up the great barrier reef, seeing the sun rise and clouds clear at Mt Bromo,

Seen some amazing and humbling things in the short time i have been involed with medicine. Seen people take their first and last breaths, seen tears of joy and sadness. It makes you appreciate all that you have and all that you can do for others.
