Message from David Baines

Dear Andrew

Many thanks for your on-going commitment to our medical year! I do appreciate the updates!

I, fortunately or unfortunately, have little to report. I left the Children’s Hospital at Westmead some seven years ago but maintained a (very) small private anaesthetic practice with a long-time ophthalmological colleague until I gave my last anaesthetic in December 2020. I have to say I have enjoyed every day of my retirement and have never wondered what to do when I wake up in the morning. Days pass with grandchildren duties – so much fun!! -  (6 in Sydney and 3 in Singapore), sailing on Saturdays, motorcycle riding and maintenance and constant catchups (read lunches and dinners!) with friends, long-time colleagues and family.  Covid of course has had an impact on what we can do but Lorraine and I have managed to work around this and got on with our lives. I had a wonderful career and now I am having a wonderful retirement! Very lucky!! So important to use each and every day!

Kindest regards

David
