Vapaa-aikana

Paras vastapaino välillä aika raskaaseen kirurgin työhön on vetäytyä maaseudun rauhaan. Vietän suurimman osan vapaa-ajastani perheeni kanssa maalla hevosten ja eläinten parissa. Tallityöt ja maalaistalon kunnossapito rentouttaa niin kehoa kuin mieltä sekä tuo mukavasti vaihtelua kirurgin elämään.
