Beyond clinical practice, Dr Edema values time with his wife and their four children. Together, they enjoy learning about people, places, and history, and whenever possible they travel internationally to experience different cultures, archaeology, and historical sites.

He continues to read widely and contributes to online medical journals and blogs.

Outside medicine, Dr Edema’s interests include exploring deeper existential questions—the meaning of life, human purpose, and why so many global problems remain unresolved despite the abundance of knowledge available today.

He often reflects on the Biblical hope expressed in the promise that, in the future, “no resident will say, ‘I am sick,’” and looks forward to the time when that promise will be fulfilled.
