Hello, my name is Mike and this is my new blog. I am not a medical professional but I do have a keen interest in everything health and medical. My interest started when I had to take my daughter for a check-up at the local clinic. She hadn't been feeling very well and we decided to get it looked at. I was fascinated by the process of diagnosis and treatment and when my daughter was admitted to hospital, I spent a long time chatting with the doctors and nurses. I hope you find my blog useful and that it helps you.
