    Sandy Sydney

    22 мая 2023 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Today we got up and checked out of our hotel. We went to the cafe next door for breakfast and got an egg & bacon roll and a coffee. Next, we walked through the CBD to the port, got a ferry to Manly, and then took the bus to the headland. We walked around the bush and explored the old naval ruins. We then walked along the path to the beach and found a geocache! Once we got to the beach, we found a cafe called the Boathouse, got a pint, and had some delicious oysters. I also got a gingerbread boat. We then had to rush back to get the ferry back to the mainland. Once we were back on the mainland, we walked back to the fancy chocolate shop to get more chocolate and then popped back into the pizza shop for lunch. After that, we took the train to a music shop in Sydney. Finally, we got the train to the airport and went through security to find out our flight was delayed. Eventually, we got on the plane, and I was sitting in the window seat on the exit row, so I got loads of legroom! 😍 We then landed back in Brisbane and got the train back home. I unpacked and then went to bed!Читать далее

    Five Patients

    8 июня 2023 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    Today I got up and walked to The Wesley Hospital. After changing into scrubs, I had a lecture with Dr O’Rourke. Today he asked me for my five patients. Five patients is where the consultant will ask you for a list of five patients, and then you’ll be quizzed on those patients, their history and management. I had one of my bimax and genioplasty patients chosen, and I discussed how you do mandible alignments and ensure correct occlusion. We then had a lecture on the pancreas and liver. Next, I went outside and had a coffee with Yasmin and James before the afternoon list. Today was a urology list, and I got to scrub for the last case to assist. Afterwards, I went upstairs and had a hot chocolate in the surgeons' lounge. I was talking to an RN called Sonny, who studied in the UK and moved over to Australia, and he got me some chicken soup (which was incredible). He advised me on how you move over and work in Australia. After getting home, I went to the shops to get some food, cooked some fajitas, and relaxed.Читать далее

    Kangaroo Climbs and Ice Cream

    11 июня 2023 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Today I got up and took the CityCat to South Bank, walked up to Kangaroo Point, and went rock climbing. Only two people were booked on my session, and they didn't turn up, so I got a whole session climbing with my guide Mitch. I went up many routes and managed to pull a section out of the wall whilst doing a pinch. After walking to a climbing shop, I bought a panic draw, a load of chain links and a smart 2.0 belay device. I walked back to mine, quickly changed, and then Yasmin came over. We chilled for a bit, then walked into town and over to South Bank, where we grabbed some dinner and got some ice cream.

    Today I got up and walked to The Wesley Hospital to do a theatre list with Dr O'Rourke. I met up with Yasmin and Lachlan, who were also doing the list. I was able to intubate the first two patients. I also had a phone call from Dr MacMillan asking me to join him for his following two lists at St Andrew's War Memorial Hospital. After the first three patients, we went to the staff room. Dr O'Rourke bought everyone coffee, and somebody made delicious brownies for the team to enjoy! We then did the next two patients, and I went for lunch with Lachlan, Yasmin, and Andy. Next, we went down to the A&E department and saw a patient with Dr O'Rourke; it was decided that she needed to be operated on that day, and she was added to the end of the list. After this, we did another case, and then Dr O'Rourke asked us to go and see a patient transferred in from another hospital. We then finished the final patient on the planned list. Dr O'Rourke took us to the surgeons' lounge and told us to have dinner. I had a chicken curry and vegetables, and then we operated on the final patient on the list admitted from A&E. At the end, Dr McKevitt invited me to Noosa. Yasmin, Lachlan, Dr O'Rourke and Dr McKevitt also tried to convince me to come to Australia to work, which I'm tempted to, and then Dr O'Rourke asked me to join him in clinics and check on his patients tomorrow morning. I then went down to the medical school with Lachlan to sign out and check the theatre lists for tomorrow, and then I went home and went to bed.Читать далее
