Updates

-
I should update you guys. I received a job offer one week ago. In fact, I received two. One was a two year contract to Tasmania while the other was a one year contract to Perth. I chose the former. It is nice to have work for next year but getting it now has not undone the effects of not having the promise of a job for the past three years. I think it was nasty of the Australian health system, in particular the NSW government for putting us through this, and for leaving it right to the last minute like this and it will take some time for those of us who were affected to recover from the anxiety.

Nonetheless, that's the update! I will be moving to Tasmania soon and it should be fun. At least, I hope it will be a good experience. I am rather sad to be leaving my friends in Sydney but we will all be busy at work anyway so I doubt I would have seen much of them even if I had been able to stay here. Really glad that two of my friends from the hospital I have been in all these years will be heading over to Tassie with me. It will be nice to see some familiar faces around.

Brugada Syndrome

I don't think I will ever be a plastic surgeon. Not because I like plastics any less but because I cannot let cardiology go. Today I started studying cardiology cases for my exams and came across a segment on Brugada syndrome and the ECG patterns that are typical to this condition. I was surprised to see that this condition was discovered and described as recently as 1992 by a family of Spanish Catalan doctors (the Brugada doctors). I love finding 'new' cardiology information because the problem with being so interested in something is that I sometimes run out of novel 'findings' to keep me interested in the field. Lately I have been reading about microvascular dysfunction (related to womens cardiac conditions) and today Brugada ECGs. I think I could do this forever.

Connecting the dots

I was reading an article in Forbes today on the world's most influential women and was somewhat struck by the realisation that I float in some of these circles, loosely but in general only by one degree of separation. I have never understood why I have been allowed to meet these people and to get to know them on a personal level. I don't know if anything is meant to come of it, or if perhaps there are just so many of them that all of us know someone or other. But sometimes I can't help but wonder, what the hell. How is it that little old me knows some of the most powerful and some of the richest in the world? I am a nobody. I feel like a nobody. And yet somehow, I've made it to the edges of all this. What??

Life Zzzzzzzzzzzz

I always feel like life needs to be packed with amazing and exciting things... so it never feels right when my weekends are empty. I get bored, and boredom doesn't sit well with me! It will be A.W.E.S.O.M.E. when I am back in my own apartment with pretty furniture and the amazing Apple iMac that I will finally buy and UNLIMITEDDDDD internet. It will certainly be really really awesome.
