Much Thanks to Dr. Doug Myers

Dr. Doug Myers left today. He is a practicing ear, nose, throat, surgeon in our hometown of Vancouver. He was here for almost the entire month of February. He was a great help and had some great outcomes with his ear surgery. He operated on one woman with severe hearing loss in both ears. She could only hear people if they would shout. The morning after the surgery she could hear whispers. Another gentleman jubilantly proclaimed that he could now get rid of his hearing aid. His assistance and advice were most appreciated.

I also enjoyed getting to know Doug better. It has also been fun to relate some of the rewards and challenges of our service here. In other words, it is nice to be able to talk “shop” with someone who can appreciate what I am saying. We have a growing number of family and friends who can totally relate to the transition from Vancouver to Nigeria.
