The Engineer, the Dentist, the Artist, the Ophthalmologist & the Art Collector

At my over-ripe age of 81 my health is in pretty good shape. One reason is that I have an excellent cardiologist, urologist, rheumatologist, ophthalmologist and dentist.

I will concentrate on the latter two who happen to be on the same building on Broadway.

The first, Doctor Simon Warner, I have known for many years. My Rosemary and I had his father as our eye doctor when we first came to Vancouver. How I came to meet him is in blog in link above.

Besides being a fabulous specialist, Dr. Warner is an art collector. He has Shadbolts in his reception and other art everywhere else including a couple of mine!

Thanks to his laser surgery of one of my cataracts I am able to do the most intricate removal of dust and other nasty details from my plant scans on my monitor.

Dr. Ben Balevi my dentist happens to not only be a dentist but he is also holds a Master’s degree in engineering from McGill. I believe that the latter degree  is makes his dental work an engineering marvel.

On April 30 he checked my upper next to last on my mouth left molar. Today he performed a cleaning and emptying of my root canals on that molar. I was there for one hour. It is remarkable how he explains each step. I was never left in the dark.

But I want to leave evidence that Doctor Ben Balevi is an artist. Document on top is ample proof.

I told him that I usually gargle (and swallow) a very good Calvados when I get a toothache. The engineer smiled.
