What the Heck is an Ophthalmologist?

As a certified health professional, I was required to study a variety of different diseases and disorders, including their full aetiology – meaning causes, onset and progression. But, what I learned was only a drop in the ocean compared to what there is to learn in medicine. You see, the human body is quite complex. Don’t worry, I won’t get too sciency here. I mean, I could if you want me to cause I love that stuff. But really though, there are so many different systems at play keeping you alive and functioning – how is it even possible to be an expert in all of them? So, that’s where Specialists come into the picture.

Australia is Coming to Toronto!

My first visit to Australia was a pretty magical experience and certainly one I will never forget. I was on my way from living in England and off to start a new life in New Zealand, so I decided to pay a visit before settling in their neighbouring country for a year.
