Our Strength is Fellowship; Our Success is Participation.

Robert has a dual background as a graduate of Victoria College U of T with a background in Political Science & Economics. Then in a curious twist in his career pathway, he returned to medical school in 1959/60, graduating from U of T in 1963. He then completed his Orthopedic Surgical training and the Master’s Degree program in Surgical Research at McGill University in 1967.

He became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1970. He practiced Orthopedics for three decades in the west end of Toronto. He has never retired in the full sense of the word, just carved out a new career.

This presentation will be made in three parts:
1.] A “Look Back” at the Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918 through the lens of the Toronto Globe.
2.] An overview and outline of the “Timeline” of the present Viral scourge & Pandemic – COVID-19.
3.] A “Look into the future” with a review of the ongoing important parameters of Social Engineering, Herd Immunity, Ant-Viral medications and, of greatest importance, the reality of future treatment by Vaccination.

There will be opportunities for questions at the end of each segment of the presentation as well as an open discussion at the end of the talk
