Moving forwards! Given that COVID19 cases are on the rise, we have been advised to work from home when we can and since all I had to do today is either paperwork or calling patients, working at home it was! There is something good about working from home. You save time by not having toContinue reading “365 days: Day17: Moving forwards!”

A day with people I decided today that time is too short to waste going to the supermarket for groceries and other household items so explored the option of online order and same day delivery. Using an application from the comfort of my home I ordered all the things that I will need for thisContinue reading “365 days: Day16: A day with people”

A random day in life! Started vulnerably in the morning swaying between being open to the world and between turning in to my closed private world but have decided in the end that, the way to contribute is to be out there, to communicate and to interact. Fear is not the way of spending yourContinue reading “365 days: Day15”

Anthropocene Arrived at work as planned one hour earlier, paperwork, clinic, post-clinic case discussion, quick break, meeting until 6pm. Fast forwarding my day with brief notes: Clinic: joined by an enthusiastic junior doctor. It is a perfect combination to take care of someone while teaching another. We had a variety of case presentations of adrenalContinue reading “365 days: Day14”

On the phone I went to work one hour before the start of my clinic to do some paperwork and review the list of patients, and allocate them for appropriate level of review. With COVID19 affecting how we perform medicine I had a mixture of virtual and in-person reviews. Some virtual reviews were decided byContinue reading “365 days: Day13”

A very normal day! The alarm woke me up at 5am sharp. I stood and turned it off and returned to bed! I gave myself an excuse that I was stressed about a relative who is sick in another country and was contacted to support and provide guidance about management during the night and theContinue reading “365 days: Day12”

Personal vs professional Back to work today and it was good to see most people and chat between clinics on the go to briefly see how everyone is doing. But it brings me always that question of how much of personal life you could reveal and if there is a division between personal and professionalContinue reading “365Days: Day11”

Last day of the holiday! (A brief note on learning productivity) Today is the last day of my holiday with tomorrow being the actual start of the year of work. I decided to stay late in bed before getting up to re-organise my things and clean my place since I realise that from tomorrow, IContinue reading “365 days: Day10”

Afternoon tea at Parker’s Tavern Since my holidays plans for Christmas and the new year had changed in the last minutes, I had to plan for a good time before returning to work. One of the things I hoped to do in Cambridge is to visit the Parker’s Tavern restaurant. The thought was initially forContinue reading “365 Days: Day9”

Muddy! One of my new-year’s goals is to meet as many people as I can. Since the pandemic, I have developed this thirst for knowing people, meeting with them, and learning about them. As a socialised introvert, I find this intriguing, but it did happen to me. I signed up for a group walk inContinue reading “365 days: Day 8”
