New doctor joins Dr. Keith Hay’s Bly th practice Doctor Jan Raczycki has joined Dr. Keith Hay’s, Clinton and Blyth practice after spending two years practising medicine in a small Northern Ontario town. Raised in Toronto's east-end the 27-year-old doctor received his Bachelor of Science and Medical degree from the University of Toronto. He then completed his internship at East General Hospital in Toronto. Interested in establishing a small town practice, Dr. Raczycki, along with his wife, Roxanne and their infant son Ivan headed north to Schreiber, which is located about 200 miles east of Thunder Bay. The couple felt however, that this was just a little too far north. Also, Dr. Raczycki said that the hospital there, Terrace Bay, handled 5,500 patients with two full-time doctors. He said it was “revolving door medcine" and it conflicted with his idea of how a doctor should deal with his patients. “I like to spend time with my patients and establish good relations. I want them to know I will listen, he said. In addition it was difficult according to Dr. Raczycki to maintain and upgrade medical knowledge because of a lack of library information and university courses there. So when he and his wife decided to start a new practice they looked toward the south part of the province. “Rural Ontario needs physicians as much as northern Ontario,” he stated. He narrowed his decision down to two places - Seaforth and Clinton - and chose the latter. “I was made to feel welcome with the physicians here and I like it here,” Dr. Raczycki said. He added that he does not want to work in a city saying he likes small towns and wants to settle here. He did mention though that he was glad Clinton is close to London and Toronto as it allows a closer access to libraries and universities. Dr. Raczycki will be dividing his time between the Clinton and Blyth offices and is on call at Clinton Public Hospital as well. He points out that he is happy to do low risk obstetrics at the hospital. Dr. Raczycki hopes to become established here and then in two or three years take a year off for anesthesia training. “You can’t become compla­ cent,” he says. “I want to keep up with things.” BRUSSELS OFFICE HOURS Monday -10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Tuesday - Closed Wednesday -10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Thursday -10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Friday -10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Saturday - Closed Sunday - Closed Business and BLAKE Septic Tank GENERAL J.
