Ken I will miss you dearly. You taught me so much but you were not only my mentor but my friend. I will always be indebted to you and will miss the positive effect you had on me and everyone that knew you. You loved travelling and hitting 3 star Michelin restaurants which inspired me during my fellowship overseas. Your work ethic and dedication to your patients helped me find my way when the future didn’t seem clear. Bravo Ken. You will live on in my heart and mind. Fly high with the angels my dear friend.

Dear patients,

In line with NSW government restrictions that come into effect on 10 January 2022, all elective surgery, with the exception of day surgery and urgent elective procedures (surgery indicated within 30 days [cat 1] and surgery indicated within 90 days [cat 2 urgent], are suspended until further notice. This means I can continue to perform all kinds of day surgery procedures plus:

- gastroscopy and colonoscopy
- day only hernia repair and patients with severe pain or disability caused by their hernia
- urgent gallbladder surgery for patients with severe pain or complications of their gallstones
- minor skin and skin cancer surgery
- emergency surgery

Patients whose procedures are eligible will have rapid antigen testing performed on arrival to hospital and will proceed with a negative result. PCR testing for elective surgery is no longer a requirement.

Hopefully these restrictions won’t last very long but if you have any questions or concerns or to find out if your procedure can go ahead please contact my staff who are ready to assist you. Please call (02) 8039 4548.

A good article written in Nature on mRNA vaccines. They are on the cutting edge of vaccine technology not only to combat infectious disease but some cancers. Hope this convinces many people on the fence or in the bog on the other side. And the reassuring thing should be that it was published before the Covid 19 pandemic began.

mRNA vaccines represent a promising alternative to conventional vaccine approaches, but their application has been hampered by instability and delivery issues. Here, Pardi and colleagues discuss recent advances in mRNA vaccine technology, assess mRNA vaccines currently in development for cancer and....

To all my wonderful patients awaiting surgery:

Due to the escalating Covid 19 response in NSW, as of next week most private hospitals in Greater Sydney will postpone non urgent elective surgical procedures. If your condition is likely to deteriorate or your condition is very painful then your surgery will likely go ahead. The request has come from the NSW government in order to reallocate resources into managing the increasing numbers of Covid 19 patients and in the mass vaccination effort across NSW. My rooms are open for consultation and we please kindly ask you to follow Covid protocols that will be outlined by my staff. We are available 9am to 5pm AEST Monday to Friday to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Thank you for your understanding in these most difficult times. Dr Ozmen and his team are fully vaccinated and are ready to help.

In light of the current COVID-19 situation in sydney, Dr Ozmen’s rooms would like to inform his patients, referring general practitioners and specialists, and the public that it is business as usual as elective surgery is still permitted. We are still adhering to COVID-19 regulations based on the current best medical advice and strongly recommend the wearing of masks when visiting our practice locations. If you have any cold or flu symptoms no matter how mild please do not attend the rooms, get tested and self isolate. Please also consider getting vaccinated for COVID-19 as this offers the best protection against contracting the disease to date.

Had the first of the Covid vaccine today. Has been a long time coming. Felt like the first step towards getting our freedom back and getting closer to seeing our friends and family we’ve missed so much. Timed beautifully with the sun coming out in its glory this afternoon.
