Hi, I’m Patrick from Los Angeles. I want to tell you a little about myself and my twin passions: movies and medicine.
Originally from Ireland. I’m a medical doctor. However, I am also a passionate movie lover and have been since I can remember. Growing up in Ireland, I devoured every movie that would come my way, often over a year after it had opened in the US. During my decade of medical studies in Galway, I secured a part-time position writing about movies for “In Dublin” magazine. Later, I began authoring articles for “The Irish Times”, a role I continued after moving to Dublin in 1992.
My favorite director is Hitchcock, and, fittingly, “Vertigo” is one of my two all-time favorite movies; the other is Polanski’s” Chinatown”. I recently started working fewer hours as a doctor, so I thought that I might try my hand at a Blog.

My medical specialty is Pathology.
I am board-certified in both HEMATOPATHOLOGY and MOLECULAR GENETIC PATHOLOGY.

I have never thought of my love for such disparate disciplines as movies and medicine to be unusual or contradictory. In fact, I find them to be complementary: after all, it was my Fellowship in Hematopathology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center/UCLA that brought me to Hollywood.
Coincidentally, I have always loved the Southern California sound with musicians such as Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, and Joni Mitchell remaining my favorites to this day!
