My goodness. Are we that old? I am sure that Simon will make a significant contribution to the health care of our region. Max B.
Hi Dr Brinsmead,
I remember you from Newcastle when I was a medical student there. I will be working as a GP in Bellingen .
I know that you will enjoy Bellingen. Quite a few from our school there.
Dear Dr Brinsmead
Thankyou for delivering our son by emergency caesarean 30 years ago at JHH. I had pre-eclampsia, our son was born at 29 weeks, weighing 1kg. He is perfect in every way and we have always been so grateful for your expertise and no we didn’t call him Max, sorry. We have also moved to the north coast recently from Newcastle, beautiful part of the country to live.
Hi Max! I have been trying to contact you since the years you were in Suck land and Newcastt with no success. Guess Pam and your children are well!
I was your junior registra and subsequently you called me back fron UK for a Staff obstracian at RWH Brisbane. then Gynarcologist. Hope to catch up with your family. I have retired.
With fond memories！ Kar (Carl) Ooi
Sending you an email.
Hi Dr Brinsmead, I have wondered over the years where you moved to after leaving Newcastle. I Would like to send my gratitude over 37yrs ago when trying to have my children. As had been trying for 10yrs. I was eventually put on IVF waiting list but fell naturally before I had my beautiful daughter who is now 37. 18 mths later I had a son who is now 35. Which you delivered both at the mater hospital. I would just like thankyou for been so caring. Also I would like to thank Pam as well as she was always lovely when coming in to your surgery. As I have lovely memories of you both even though I was quite unwell after my son was born. You both were exceptional and caring.
Lovely to hear from you Pam! You can drop into my website and see what I am up to these days at any time you like.
