http://sa-anaesthetist.blogspot.com/2010/05/running-man.html
Random ramblings about life and work as a consultant anaesthesiologist in South African state and private practice. Tuesday, May 25, 2010. The other day, I was making a rare :) trip to the tearoom when I was literally bowled over by a colleague running in the direction from which I had come. No time for questions, I turned and followed him at high speed to the Urology theatre. He had received the dreaded phone call, the one that goes something along the lines of “Resus in theatre.”. The older I get, the ...

Random ramblings about life and work as a consultant anaesthesiologist in South African state and private practice. Wednesday, February 3, 2010. I have reached a point in my career where it has become necessary to decide whether to stay in the state sector or not. If we had no registrars, the decision would be easy - Go. But, despite the fact that occasionally they drive me mad, they always phone me. Wednesday, February 03, 2010. View my complete profile. Suture for a Living. Created by Deluxe Templates.

SA Anaesthetist: Little things
http://sa-anaesthetist.blogspot.com/2010/03/little-things.html
Random ramblings about life and work as a consultant anaesthesiologist in South African state and private practice. Saturday, March 6, 2010. Kids, rugrats, sprogs. All different names for the same entity. And for most of us, cause for the smallest of flutters. You see, kids aren't simply small adults. They have unique physiology and they have given me more grey hairs as an anaesthesiologist than any other patient group. Saturday, March 06, 2010. Thank you for sharing such a personal mistake. I believe th...

Random ramblings about life and work as a consultant anaesthesiologist in South African state and private practice. Friday, April 9, 2010. One of the problems with being the anaesthetist is that often, I don’t know the. Story Sometimes it is better this way, other times not. Is there a difference? From a technique point of view, no. From a personal point of view, yes. Would I have agreed to dope her if I knew it was an abortion? Friday, April 09, 2010. April 11, 2010 at 2:56 AM. April 11, 2010 at 7:45 AM.

Random ramblings about life and work as a consultant anaesthesiologist in South African state and private practice. Monday, January 25, 2010. Futility, in its third year. And," he would continue, "how do you know a duck's butt is tight? Because you NEVER see a duck sinking". The dramatic scenes on TV medical shows never play out like that in real life. There is more likely to be a slow dawning of the reality that someone will die even although we gave it our all. Futility is the term used to describe wha...

Random ramblings about life and work as a consultant anaesthesiologist in South African state and private practice. Saturday, March 27, 2010. Where we are at. I recently spent a few days in Bloemfontein. This would not have been my first choice of holiday destination, but it. Having spent 5 days with these people, I have some observations.
