A few days ago while visiting my doctor in Melfort, he initiated a conversation about one of my past visits … close to four years ago now … “I’ll never forget how scared I was when I saw you in my office that day,” he told me. “You were a very, very sick person.” It… Continue reading A Brush With Death
