Medical Doctors

My doctor in England, Dr. Terry Hamblin, is one of the world's top specialists in CLL. He has decided to retire. He will be greatly missed.
-
Dr. Hamblin is always a gentleman. He is a very well read man, and he has an open mind. In fact he is surprisingly open minded for an older gentleman.
-
I was reading his blog today. The following entry is fascinating. It is typical of him in that it is upbeat and a little funny, and that he tells the truth as he sees it. Regardless of what is politically correct at the moment.

I hope this won't be too much of a shock for you all, but I have decided to retire. I know I'm supposed to be retired already, but that was just from the British NHS. In a month's time I will be 65 and start to draw my old age pension. I have decided to use this date significantly to curtail my activities, and one of the things I am going to stop is responding to questions on this LIST.
-
I am also stopping seeing patients personally.
-
I will still be writing my blog and I will continue to write little articles about CLL there. I am also going to write a small book for patients about CLL, but the time has come for me to stop being so available. I will continue to publish about CLL - there are several reseach articles in the pipeline, and I will continue to give advice to various groups such as the Gene Therapy Committee, the UKCLL Forum and some of the data management boards that I am on, but my wife and I are going to spend more time doing things that we can enjoy together before my arthritis finally catches up with me.
-
My finishing date is March 12th. After that messages posted on this LIST will not be seen by me.
