Just heard a nurse handing over a patient with “vulvar dysphagia” rather than “bulbar dysphagia.” Tehe.

Living large on a public holiday. Work. Again.

I just want to play some #xenobladechronicles. I did some work this morning and I didn’t get my reward!

Onyx Storm: disappointing. I need the characters to change and develop in so many pages. And have facets! And I need relationships to be more complex the longer they go on. Why will the authors not listen to me?

At the inauguration there was gestures that are illegal in Australia. This just blows my mind. The differences in choices that democracies make. And the ways that laws change society.

Lovely. Great to see you again. Super weird to realise that I met all you med tweeps back in 2005/2006. That’s a long time ago.

20 years ago, I was researching pancreatitis in an animal model. My research now is much more based on clinical skills. Currently I am looking at how surgeons deal with emotion during clinical relationships (“empathy”) #qualitativeresearch

It’s so exciting to be setting up my Blue Sky account and finding a whole bunch of people that I first met back on Twitter 20 years ago (!)

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

I’m sorry. I thought I could resist a reread, but I’m totally in the mood for lightning and self-absorption. I promise I’ll pronounce all the Dragon names correctly. #fourthwing

So much love for this. Love the third quarter twist that I never saw coming. This twist was about giving the reader a gift and I am totally here for it.

When we were in Spain there were some remarkable accessible ramps. Like the nose of a spaceship.

No matter how nice tomorrow is, it will never be as good as an unexpected midweek day off.

I couldn’t remember what I have scheduled for tomorrow so in my head I decided I have the day off. I don’t. I am working all the day. I am starting at 8am. I have ruined my whole life.

I offered to skip half my lunch break to see one of the huge backlog of new referrals. Then I forgot that conversation entirely and went to sit in the fresh air for an hour. Because of course I did. #ruralsurgery #generalsurgery

A new microblogging platform. Social media used to be about developing a community of randoms, but now it’s about avoiding billionaires with poor ethics.
