No Study
I didn’t do any study for eighteen months so there is a gap until first semester 1996.
In that time I was still working full time in General Practice – I hadn’t noted that while doing the BA I finished a “Certificate of Satisfactory Completion of the Family Medicine Program” in 1989. It was sufficient in those days to become a GP. I even did a couple of units towards an FRACGP but never finished it because I didn’t need to.
We also had a fourth child, a boy who was impossible at the time. This meant our little house was bursting at the seams. We moved into the hall for a while but then moved to a rental property, demolished the house and had a proper one built.
My mother died.
There were lots of reasons to put study to one side.
