A Day in the Life:

Practicing in Dawson Creek

“I like my routine in a weekday and I like adventures on weekends. I like to get moments of peace and quiet in the morning before going to my clinic. As a general practitioner, I meet diverse conditions in a diverse population. I head to the hospital afterwards to see my inpatients and meet my colleagues. We spend time in the doctor’s lounge about once a week chatting about various things before going back home. Keeping such a routine helps me save my energy for a weekend activity with my friends. Between the many lakes and the hiking trails in the region or a trip across the province border, we find a new adventure in summer or winter times.”

Dr. Luay Al Nisr
