Looking Forward

These days, I can’t shake off the feeling that I’m hanging back waiting for “something big” to happen. This is one of the reasons that I’m happy for the time being just to continue to “keep my hand in” where I am. How many times have I “drawn a veil" over medical equipment work, only to come creeping back under the blanket, as it were? Well, sometimes, I quite enjoy it – and, truth be told, I’m probably too long in the tooth now to make a go at anything else.

However, I hear that Alberta is the place to be – the next oil boom, apparently, with reserves on the Saudi scale of things. They don’t drill, but steam it out of the soil (or sand) near the surface, apparently. I reckon they’ll be having new hospitals and clinics there, to support a rapidly increasing population. Might be a tad cooler than Saudi, though! Yes, Fort McMurray could be the place to be.

In the spirit of “following the money”, perhaps the business model for the “new venture” should be to service clinics in oil and gas industry (...yes, I know that others have/are already done/doing that, but maybe they need a bit of competition)!

Yes, Fort McMurray could well be the place to be. And probably a bit less volatile than Kazakhstan (or even Saudi, and certainly Iraq)! But I've got to get on and do something worthwhile before it's too late - otherwise what else am I to do (...simply grow old in England)?
