July 24, 2015. But the sad reality is that I don’t think that I would still be a doctor if I was doing it full time. I started my medical training in 2001; six years later, I’d qualified; in 2008 I started working in paediatrics. I was worn out. Physically, it was fine. Mentally, not a problem. Afte...I know th...

Diabetes week: Skin in the Game | Betabetic
https://betabetic.wordpress.com/2015/06/18/diabetes-week-skin-in-the-game
Thoughts about being a patient, version 0.9. Diabetes week: Skin in the Game. It, and I’m still a total noob at this diabetes thing. Sixteen months since I started insulin, I feel like I know very little. I’ve had a rapid education from the @OurDiabetes. Hundreds of thousands of hours of experience of dealing with diabetes. Diabetes is like a game where you can never ‘win’ – you can only draw even, at best. Sometimes the rules change unexpectedly, and no two of us have quite the same set of rules. The te...

Beasts, theories and dominant approaches… | Academic Dissonance
https://lizzyab.wordpress.com/2014/07/06/beasts-theories-and-dominant-approaches
Some reflections on research…. Beasts, theories and dominant approaches…. July 6, 2014. But anyway. Like this blog, academia ebbs and flows. Some days are so busy they’re untrue and on others, there’s no one else in the office to talk to. And that’s the way that it needs to be, I think. And sometimes I write nothing in this blog then two ideas come along at once. That was in the right place at the right time. And in qualitative analysis, framework analysis. My own example concerns Grounded Theory. Is it ...

Who needs a work-life balance anyway? Gourmetpenguin's personal view and reflections on balancing roles. Monthly Archives: January 2015. When systems meet people… and people meet systems. January 17, 2015. This is going to be a long post, because it’s something that I’ve been mulling over for a while. I’ve been thinking a lot recently about systems, and the impact that they have on people in the NHS. Is this stating the obvious? What do I mean by this level of systems working? For the rest of the shift, ...

Who needs a work-life balance anyway? Gourmetpenguin's personal view and reflections on balancing roles. Monthly Archives: April 2015. What makes an error? April 30, 2015. I’ve been following the tweets from all the events this week, and there have been quite a few! Or is deliberately prescribing an accurate but unmeasurable dose an error? Some medications are prescribed. The other errors are even harder to define. Before I even get as far as the drug chart, making the decision to prescribe a medicat...

Who needs a work-life balance anyway? Gourmetpenguin's personal view and reflections on balancing roles. What makes an error? April 28, 2015. Again, a random Twitter comment has started off a train of thought that a comment from @Adsthepoet had been germinating for a while (I think I’m blogging more because I don’t have him to discuss things with, so they either stay in my head or get blogged… or get inflicted on my partner late at night). So, why does this happen? One response suggested that professiona...

Knees like a three year old | PaediAcademiatrician

Who needs a work-life balance anyway? Gourmetpenguin's personal view and reflections on balancing roles. What is the point of medical education? Diabetes week: Skin in the Game →. Knees like a three year old. June 12, 2015. My shoes break readily across the instep, leaving white tracks across bright pink leather; scattering sequins as I squat down. Paediatrician shoes. Hospitals are scary places. They’re even more scary as a patient or a parent if the person caring for you is above your eye lev...I didn&...

Who needs a work-life balance anyway? Gourmetpenguin's personal view and reflections on balancing roles. Monthly Archives: September 2014. Is this what I get paid for? September 2, 2014. Is that really what I am? Is choosing to be a doctor and a paediatrician also making the choice to be all of those things that the public feel able to call me? Is that accepting that part of our social media society, or is it something specific to some jobs? After I’ve delved into their life. It’s trying ...Your baby (yo...
