I use myself and my patients (disguised) as personal examples to illustrate the points I am making about a particular topic.
What annoys you the most in pursuing a writing career?
That it's a jungle and without a proper guide, it's easy to fall prey to the trappers who exploit people who are trying to get out their message.

What do you think should be improved in the education of our children? What do we lack?
