     very high blood sugar. 
     
    

    
     My findings were not entirely appreciated by the 
     
     Surgeons. However, I had a few good trips on research 
     
     meetings. One ofthe best ones was in Sherwood Inn in 
     
     Muskoka Lakes, miles north of Toronto. Sherwood Inn is a 
     
     resort noted for having visits from Royal family members, 
     
     and there are many rich people who have summer homes 
     
     there. 
     
    

    
     On the way back, my wife and I had three doctors 
     
     seated in the back ofthe car. I was driving at 70 mph on the 
     
     401 Highway on a rainy day, when a car bumped into me 
     
     from the rear and then pulled ahead and kept going. One of 
     
     the doctors took his number. My car received a dent in the 
     
     bumper. It was assessed at $175.00, and after a few letters, 
     
     the other driver’s insurance company paid. 
     
    

    
     Working in the Outpatient Department at the PEI 
     
     Hospital was not like it is today at the Queen Elizabeth 
     
     Hospital. I had worked at the outpatient department in the 
     
     01d Victoria General Hospital for a couple of months. When 
     
     I came to the PEI Hospital the first night, as an intern, there 
     
     were 35 patients, but it was following the close of the Old 
     
     Home Week exhibition. Very few people came in there after 
     
     that. They went to the doctor’s office or they used their 
     
     grandmother’s remedies in treating minor ailments instead 
     
     of getting free treatment as today. 
     
    

    
     One Thanksgiving Day, I saw 100 patients in the 
     
     PEI Hospital. As a Doctor, some years later when I was 
     
     working in DVA, that was how I usually spent my holidays. 
     
    
   
   
    
       
     
    
   
   
    
     Anotherjob I took was that of City Health Officer, 
     
     for the city of Charlottetown, which I held for 14 years and 
     
     served under several mayors. I had to attend all council 
     
     meetings, which were held monthly, and give a report,
