We Dream Things That Never Were—And Say: Why Not?———-
This blog is not just a collection of reflections; it is a journey. A journey through medicine, ethical leadership, humanitarian engagement, and the profound intersections of science, spirituality, and human connection. It is a story of movement—intellectual, physical, and personal—because the end of one chapter is never the end of the road, only a bend in it.———-
Born from a legacy of resilience and shaped by decades in medicine, my path has never been about passive observation. It has been about action, problem-solving, and navigating the complexities of the human experience. From rural hospitals in South Africa to remote Australian communities, the call to serve has always been greater than the comfort of staying still. With a history of various chapters and transitions - inevitably at some stage- I will widen my horizons beyond full-time medicine.
In the same spirit carrying forward—through writing, public speaking, and new forms of engagement with the world we live in———
Why I Started this blog?———
Many years ago, I found myself sitting on the edge of a hospital bed in rural South Africa, listening to a patient who had walked for miles just to be seen. He wasn’t just battling illness; he was battling a system that had almost given up on him. As I left that day, I kept thinking: How many stories like his are lost in the noise? How many struggles remain unseen?———
That moment stuck with me. And it’s part of why I’m writing here.———
What is this blog about?———
Here, I’ll write about:
✅The realities of healthcare—what works, what’s broken, and what can be better.
✅Social issues that impact health, from homelessness to inequality.
✅Stories that move us—whether in medicine, travel, or everyday life.
✅The art of reinvention—what happens when we step into new chapters.———

Let’s explore where this road leads, together.————
So, as we stand at the intersection of knowledge and possibility, let us ask not only what is, but what could be. Let us move forward with a spirit of curiosity, courage, and unwavering enthusiasm.———
Let’s dream about meaningful possibilities and say; “Why not?”———-
The real journey is not in reaching the destination, it’s about the “Why not?”we carry in our way forward and “live the dream” in the present and enjoy as such our journey, despite twists and turns. ———-
When we think it’s the end of the road, it may well be a bend in the road.———-
It’s what we embrace in life.———-
It is in the becoming — with respect for life, when we are lucky enough not to live in impossible circumstances.——-
