My thoughts are with everyone affected by the tragedy unfolding in Bondi. I know a lot of Kiwis live in that area. Sending aroha from this side of the Tasman.
Congratulations to fellow Australian otolaryngologists for making the list. All great educators and communicators. @DrEricLevi @KelvinKongENT @throatsurgeon #asohns #anzspo
