This is technically the update from 2 weeks ago… but here it is:
- Multiple trips this week to distant hospitals about 1 hr out of Melbourne. One of them I hadn’t visited in at least a year! There’s been so many changes, that I almost couldn’t figure out where to go in that time
- Bad news that worked out well — I was meant to do 2 surgical lists on Thursday, but one of the surgeons cancelled their list, meaning I had this last-minute time in my schedule that I couldn’t productively use. As it turned out, one of our cases took much longer than expected that morning so I avoided a lot of stress by having that extra bit of breathing room
- Second incident of bad to good was letting that awkward situation thaw out…
- Packing again for travel — I feel like I just got into my rhythm properly but already it’s time to pack
- Realised I’m not really stressed most of the time, but when I am, my sleep schedule becomes very strange…
- Finally got around to having a proper democracy sausage even though the elections were months ago!
- Had the best customer service experience at an airline – it was the rushing to get to the US that meant I hardly had time to send out this update last week, but will fill you in next time…
