I was only a patient of Sean for a short while, but he made a giant impression upon me. He really listened. He helped me have hope. He was the first doctor I met who really “got” it. I had chronic pain for 15 years that no one had been able to solve. It had become so bad I couldn’t walk — my favourite pastime. Sean solved it.

Last week I returned from three weeks of hiking in Scotland and placed a stone on the cairn on Faraid Head in Durness in his memory. (That’s the photo I uploaded.) I have thought about him, and thanked him, many, many times since he died.

Thank you for sharing Sean with us. He has left a really lasting impact and I’m so profoundly sad that he is no longer with us. My very best wishes to his family.
