I like being healthy and playing sport. I am not the best but I like to try hard at what I do. Sport offers me a release from pressures and allows me to keep my body in shape and to keep up with my young children, I don't think I look my age and I know I don't feel it. I like the team spirt of sport and value the camaraderie. That is important becuase in the process of surgery there can be no sucess without team work. The competition of sport is beneficial to my life, but if I lose in a fair way having tried my best I am happy for the winner, even if it is not me. This spirit of competition drives me to improve.
I love my wife and my family and I appreciate their beauty and individuality. I am and constantly fogiving my children for keeing me awake at night (for the litte ones, we had our last at 44) and for being grumpy and wanting everyhting for the teenagers. My wife understands my appreciation of the beauty in female form (and she has benefited from my interest), and I can tolerate her fascination with Pierce Brosnan. I try to understand sensuality and sexuality from a female perspective, but I will never completely. Though I am open to learning, and I try to use that in my work. I have had various proecures on myself becuase I can see the value in the proceedures and it allows me to have empathy with my patients.
I would like to be well off but I will never be super wealthy ( I started too late and have too many children). If I had to choose between money and happiness , it would not be a choice and I would leave with nothing in my pockets but a smile on my face. What I want is to be doing great work for as long as I can and I don't care if my peers don't recognise me. I care if people who meet me see what I am about. If they like that and trust me I will try my best to help them. If I am not the right person for them I will give them names of other who may suit there needs. People need not to be baffled but helped to understand.
