Note: Being a teacher, not a researcher, I have only one published research paper (in Transfusion, no less). Most of my publications were writing journal articles on the value of the Internet for CE/CPD, creating online case studies, and reviewing book others had authored. Plus I had a book translated into Japanese because, by serendipity, a visiting Japanese MD saw it in the University of Alberta bookstore and liked it.

Book review: "This book should be available to anyone required to do first class technical training. It is itself an outstanding example of the very craft it sets out to teach....The book can be recommended without hesitation." [CJMT 1992;54:186]
