Ahhh Pookus was only 6 months old when this photo was taken!
Today I walked 11,000 steps during my 12 hours at work.
We got hammered again by too many people and lots of complicated people. Not interesting complicated, just complicated in administrative ways. Although I did diagnose llama allergy for the first time ever.
Then, when we [...]

I have sore feet.
words words words
I don’t like it when people say “thank you for your patience” when running late. That implies that I waited patiently. I may well have been waiting with great impatience.
I also don’t like “kind regards” at the end of emails. Particularly when they are emails berating the receiver(s) for something or other. The “kind” [...]
“I did not say to walk again! SIT YOUR DOG!”
These are not magpies. But Pooka likes chasing cockatoos as well. Sadly these are not Major Mitchell cockatoos. That would make it a great photo.
Going for walks in the rain can cause suffering. Obedience training does cause suffering. Obedience in the rain is just TOO MUCH.

The Limbic System
A mysterious beast. Who knew that a purple bird was involved in the control of emotions? Or whatever the limbic system does…
it’s a long weekend
I failed on my challenge yesterday because I had nothing to say.
But today I can tell you that I have just given Pooka a bath and she is outside complaining that she can’t come in. It is cruel – why would I not want a wet dog snuggled up on my bed with me?
I was [...]
all disease has been cured
There’s a bit of a deficiency of sick children this week.
Which is good for the children I suppose…. but it makes the life of the medical student a bit dull.
I don’t suppose many patients consider that when they walk into a hospital they are actually transforming into a learning resource… particularly if they’re “interesting”.
I suppose [...]
