Hi Mike
Just found your blog today - congrats! It's beautifully written, with a bit of something for everyone! Your enthusiasm for life shines through so clearly. Thanks for sharing your views with us so candidly and honestly - it's fantastic stuff! I wonder why I'm not in the least bit surprised to hear you love your job - I just hope the NHS don't screw it up for you. Keep on trucking! Regards, Steph
ps I trained as a Physio many moons ago (moving from Yugoslavia to Russia shortly!)but never got to work as one (sadly) so, it's no wonder you pushed all the right buttons!
