See ya later Ingham!
It was a good term.
It was a good term.
This is where I’m staying at the moment… Ingham is about an hour and a half north of Townsville. It’s not sole practice here which is a good thing because the hospital is much more busy. And thankfully there’s no asbestos for me this time.
Recently I’ve been touring the countryside again, on another rural relief term… For three months I’ll be going from place to place doing country work. It’s a mix of general practice, covering the local hospitals and health service and emergency. Hughenden is my first placement and it’s about 400 km west of Townsville. I’m here as the sole doctor in the town. Hopefully everything works out well!
It’s my holidays and I’m taking a break. I’ve come to Melbourne and Andy is here for work! Perfect timing!
So… this happened today, my first solo as pilot in command! The three together are warmup runs with the instructor, and my first solo wa a right circuit off Runway 01 at Townsville International.. YBTL.
This year has slipped away and I’m now in my last rotation as a JHO. In on rural relieving, where they send juniors out to cover positions that are either remote and have visitor locums as their only doctors, or that the regular local doctor has requested relief for some reason, like taking holiday leave. Right now I’m on Palm Island for a week. It’s a nice place with a storied history to say the least. I’m very glad for this opportunity to see this place and how healthcare works out here. I’ll be back in January as well, so it’s nice to get to know places, people and things I will see again.
When I’m wiser and I’m older…
I was babysitting last night and we made a cake. I think it is officially a chocolate eggshell cake… named after its two main ingredients!
Coming home from work last week I found this little guy hanging out at the front gate…
