The past week, in speaking to patients we have had over the years, I am reminded of something that I myself went through years ago early on in my health journey.

I had lost what I viewed as my healthy body from an early age, and it was then when I met my first very real health challenge that I began to understand the vast amount of grey that exists between the black and white of health and illness.

I was quite young and had once been very trusting of the professional, the doctors, the surgeons, the medical profession in general.
