A public service announcement for all of Dr Metcalfe's patients (a little late, sorry).

Dr Metcalfe has decided to take a break from clinical medicine and to focus her time with her family and in other endeavours. We are missing her already at Sage Medical but can't wait to hear about what artistic projects she gets up to. She's going to be on leave for the next 6 months, after which time, we hope to see her back at the clinic.
