Dr. William Lang & George Chapman
I had been visiting Opthomology at Finchley Memorial Hospital annually since my MD was identified. I had the images of my Iris taken each year. Every time, I would ask them to provide me with the copies of those images to follow as any deterioration will have major implications in my life.
Firstly, I would not be able to drive anymore, restricting my volunteering activities on Hampstead Heath & other locations. After my return from the far east some 25 years ago, it turned out to be difficult to find a job in London as an architect & urban designer, as I appeared to have far too much international experience. So much so that I had to sell my flat in Hampstead, bought a cheaper flat away from Hampstead Heath, & completely refurbished it. It turned out to be so successful that other people started asking me to refurbish their flats. So I started my own design office.
I am still in the same flat. Now, my only concern being my MD deteriorating to an extent that I could no longer drive my car, & join the volunteering activities on Hampstead Heath. Having been involved in projects in 12 countries through my life meant that I had an extremely busy professional life, carrying out exciting projects. It seemed that I did not have time to start a family of my own. My volunteering activities, along with Hampstead Heath my volunteering activities at varies Community Centres may come to a stop!
Following another annual visit to the Opthomology department in 2025, I was waiting to hear the results of the tests I went through at Opthomology department. I was sitting at home, & considering if I should visit Michael Chapman again to receive healing from him. My question was answered. I heard a voice saying; “you do not need to visit my son again. We are taking care of you!!!”
My next correspondence from the Opthomology confirmed that my MD had disappeared! The doctors were lost in any kind of explanation!
I was over the moon. I was happy… I had been given my life back!!!
