The sun is out! I’m just heading to work, I seem to correlate with working when the suns out. I think it’s to protect my Celtic skin!
You should head down to the moomba festival, or head to river for 9pm fireworks 🎆
Lovely evening for arriving!
Looks great, still in Melbourne, also a great city and place to live. 👍

I mean I’m confused about Facebook mentioning pancakes this late! It’s late into March, so Easter is later I guess.
Enjoy your day!

Yes that’s a worry, transparency is needed for those involved. And to move forward.

Worrying how long it took for the issue to be picked up.
Happy to see @sccm-pediatrics.bsky.social on #medsky!
Welcome!
Flu can be deadly. Still time to get your flu vaccine if you haven’t yet.
Vaccines save lives.
I cannot begin to explain the disaster that is influenza in children this year.. and the havoc it is wreaking. It’s not too late. Get everyone immunized

A patient presents with seizures & left arm weakness. It’s a tricky scenario that sparks a key debate: should we perform an LP?
We break down the decision-making process, and discuss the challenges of diagnosing neurological conditions in Acute Medicine.

I mean first world problems on the job scale, but changing from Epic to an alternate less intuitive EMR…. 😦
I really have enjoyed epic most of my medical career….
I’d support the move NSW are doing if the whole state going onto it! #EMR #IT
Staying in Melbourne just now, going to the other picu -smaller, but good for study and trying ICM exam-then I’ll be signed off cons here in picu.
Keeping eyes open for what makes sense job wise?
Gosh have a 6m locum, starts in 4 wk, so sadly doesn’t make sense to leave in hurry for short term. 🫠
Take a sabbatical 😌
01.02.2025 10:04 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Another picu in Melbourne for just now. Shall reassess as things go whether I stay in aus or uk or consider any other ideas 💡

End of 2 years working in #picu in #melbourne. Lots of fun. Very grateful to all the lovely people I’ve worked with and the opportunity 😌
Hate saying goodbye, but until I get a forever job I’ll keep moving 😌
Come to Australia….🇦🇺
27.01.2025 21:59 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Yes people start very broad spectrum in kids before picu, sadly we also get super sick that nobody took cultures in too! So yes it’s an easy decision that they give everything yet even that and what investigations are done aren’t correct.
Good job we all work as teams to try and do the right things!
I always send….but if I’m culturing they are in picu already! So either spiked on, or with lines……‼️
27.01.2025 18:38 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Ah but then the great petechial rash…..sent from gp with urti.
To culture or not….? I mean I just await till it is bad to be involved…but I’m enjoying the dilemma!
So people still do this? 😶

Team #picu summer outdoor cinema #melbourne
Team-uk, aus, Swizz, Greece, Canada, Belgium ♥️
A little bit of joy in the less joyful 24 hr of politics. #tennis #australianopen #melbourne
Nice break amongst life admin, presentations and study. 📚
#balance 🧘🏼♀️
I can’t help but think 6m in uk and 6m in aus a yr working would be ideal, or 4/8 to balance weather.
Happy to cover everyone having leave during uk summer!
Not sure on the pensions, but minor details….at present.
