I had been having a whooshing sound in my left ear, and my left eye was swollen for well over a year. I was misdiagnosed at a different ear clinic to be suffering from tinnitus and for the eye, an eye specialist also got it wrong and said it was an inflammation.

My GP referred me to Dr McKendrick at St John of God Murdoch, and after a quick, but thorough assessment, he said I needed to get scans because I was having a blood leak in my brain. Turns out he was right! He referred me to the amazing neurology team at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, and I had surgery in February this year to stop the leak.

Thank you so much Dr McKendrick!!!
