I am an honest person who likes doing what others may call cosmetic or plastic surgery
I old enough to have made mistakes and not too old to admit my mistakes and apologisee for them and learn from them. I would like everyone to like me but I am realistic that not everyone will (there have been a couple of times when after relationship breakdowns I know certain people who have definitely not liked me). I like helping people and by doing work in this field you do help people. I like the people I help also. I find the best and most appreciative people are amongst the patients in this field. I like to keep my word and if I doubt that I can I don't give it. If circumstance beyond my control make me not keep my word, I feel the pain and attempt make up what I can even if I have not been to blame.
What quality in my training?
My personal training has been to spend the money to travel to find who I think are the best people and learn from them. Then acknowledge their input to my growth. My training has been a slow aquisition of skills. I spent years in emergency departments and ICU's learning to keep people alive, these skills I always want to have in the worst case. Then I consider the skill that best serve me in helping people with the changes to their appearance is the years I spent in general practice talking and establishing rapport with people and the training I had in psychiatry to understand the distress and being able to differentiate between pathological thought problems and those that are simply an exaggeration of normal.
My considered opinion is that every person in this field should have a degree of training in this field. My surgical skills have been developing in parallel in my work in skin cancer surgery and then every industry training on product training that I have done has taken me to the next level. Then I have been priviledged to have a founder in the field allow me to have exposure to their knowledge and I acknowledge the invaluable support that these individuals have given me. Finally I have travelled overseas and sought out quality individuals who have offered me supportive preceptorships and exposure to the area I have special interest in. But, I have and will never, stop learning. Whether it be by research, by other courses by conferences or one on one discussions, I will learn forever,
