I like her paintings muchly, how they’re futuristic yet reminiscent of the 80s’ depiction of western paradise.  Blurred and overlayed, with nothing in your face you’re left to notice at whim.

Looks like someone went lo-fi in a backstreet in Sydney

Aussie trip coming up in July if all goes well with holiday planning and leave-taking… woo hoo!  Sydney, Melbourne and all the places in between, in a fleeting 1.5 wk trip.  because i’ll be spending 3 days getting there from London and 2 days getting back.  Gonna nick some TED stockings and aspirin.

Weekend in London was essential.  Can’t stay in isolated Canterbury for too long!  My psyche is renewed.  phew!

Hello world (and hello myself!)

The first couple of days in ITU have been a readjustment from the busy on-calls of being a surgical senior house officer, and I simply couldn’t deal with being at one place at a slower physical pace, but quicker mental pace.  I am however glad to have the neurons firing again, in a conducive atmosphere.  I reckon my dress sense will suffer since I pretty much am in scrubs 24/7.

ITU after quadruple bypass surgery

I could have done with a couple of days off after the harsh on-calls, getting bleeped left right and centre to see and manage 5-10 patients at a time.  The two days on-call resulted in 1 urological admission, and 2 general surgical/vascular which ends up sounding pretty unrepresentatively benign.  I was exhausted, and the last 48 hours were a tough survival run for my body and mind.

The net is a wonderful place, and I’m pretty damn glad to be part of this information age.  Easy way to kick start myself in acid-base physiology and breathing circuits.
