Hello! Our names are Caroline and Mackenzie!
Today we are doing our blog on the author and doctor, Vincent Lam!
Vincent Lam was born on September 5,1974 in London,Ontario and was raised in Ottawa. He is both a writer and a doctor. His first books he has written are: Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures and The Flu Pandemic and You. Vincent Lam did his medical training in Toronto. He is also an emergency physician. When he was just only a writer, and in the middle of writing, he wanted to have another job where he can learn about people. So he said "Well, I should choose a job where I can learn about people, and what would be perfect? Well, I could be a doctor."
Here is a quote by Vincent Lam.
My first desire was to write.I thought to pursue medicine because it seemed like an ideal forum for character study.
