By Dr. Lena Derie-Gillespie on August 2nd, 2019
Lena.Derie-Gillespie@ahs.ca Let’s talk about syphilis. Ahhhh, syphilis. This disease is somehow both a source of complete fascination and abject frustration to me.

“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” These words of Jesus have been on my mind lately.

And I cherish my grandmother’s crystal glasses which my ... Read More »
