    The Final List

    23 juin 2023, Australie ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Today I got up and walked to The Wesley Hospital for my final operating list in Australia (for the time being). I met Dr O'Rourke and Dr McKevitt at the theatre for an upper GI list. I was able to scrub for the final case of the list. Dr O'Rourke then signed off my supervision paperwork. After this, I went to grab some lunch from the surgeons' lounge. After lunch, I went to get a hospital stamp on my letter and then went home to run some errands. Next, I went back to the hospital, dropped off cards and presents for everyone at the medical school, and went back upstairs to collect my form. The chief medical officer signed the bottom of my form and asked me to tell the university to contact them should they have any further questions. I then returned home and packed all my belongings. I checked out of my apartment in Brisbane and drove up the coast to Noosa to stay at Nick's.En savoir plus

    Bye Bye Brisbane!

    1 juillet 2023, Australie ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    On my final day in Brisbane, I went to the University of Queensland building at the Royal Brisbane Women’s Hospital for a surgical simulation day. After the introduction talk, we did some intramedullary nail insertion and femur plating. The next workshop was craniofacial plating. After that, we were able to do some laparoscopic surgery and finally did some skin flaps! I then walked down into Fortitude Valley, bought a keyring from the music shop and went to the Queen Street Mall for lunch. Finally, I returned to the hotel to grab my bags and headed to the airport, walking through Anzac Square. Once there, my bags were too heavy. I had to redistribute the weight across my bags and repack them. Once that was sorted, I went through security and went duty-free shopping! At 9 PM, I got on the plane (an A380!), and we took off!En savoir plus
