READ THE BLURB

This book has been a self-reflective journey of a medical doctor as an ordinary person going through ordinary life's ups and downs. In epistolary form, its articles were written during the special time of her first year of training to become a general practitioner/family physician, including making the tough decision to give up hospital specialist training, "withdrawing" from fast-paced hospital work, transitioning to working from a metropolitan hospital to a rural community clinic, witnessing and getting used to a younger sibling's growing up, and being independent from a close and loving family. Some also feature a promotion of the author's new academic career at the start of the COVID 19 pandemic and how it was perceived. The book shows a journey of love, strength, perseverance, purpose and encouragement. Lots of anecdotes, lots of stories, lots of quotes. With love and respect.

READ AN EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT

Guess what? It is, after all, not so difficult to get along with our parents. The book I was referring to in my last letter, How to Love Your Parents, outlines a number of useful tricks including ‘how, when and what for’ when communicating with parents. Quite honestly, communicating effectively conveys the message that you care for the parents who gave birth to you, raised you and sustained you throughout your life. Please let us know you care. Since working at the Regional Northern Hospital last year, I learned to use my time driving to work for acquiring knowledge or singing songs, given that it was an hour’s drive to work and another hour back home. Although I now work at Muller Health and the commute is shorter, I have continued practicing this. I find it a good way to listen to inspirational speeches or learn a song or two, and most enjoyably, I learn the words of the Lord Jesus, our God. You might find it a useful thing to do as well, since I know you also spend a considerable amount of time driving. The inspiring individuals I listen to are often modern giants of intelligence and emotional intelligence, as well as spiritual mentors. They are positive people, and are positively changing the world through technology and by being positive role models for young people like you and me.
