Yesterday I was consulting and reflecting on the journey of some of my patients many of whom I have been seeing since i started private urology in 2008. 17 years! Thats a long time to have known many of....

Merry Christmas 🎄

I have been travelling in India this week. It is a country of immense diversity. Despairing poverty to obscene opulence. Stifling heat of the plains to the snow capped Himalayas.

Have you ever woken up and wondered, “what is the meaning of all this”? It’s a common experience which is worth delving into, but more commonly, this small opening or glimpse into a life of meaning is quickly suppressed and one moves onto the next task. In doing so, we may miss the whole purpo...
