I wish I didn't watch that movie 2012, or that other one with Denis Quaid in it were New York City freezes over.
Up until about 6 months ago, people were drought-proofing their gardens. The frozen ground you can see in the background is tan-bark because growing a lawn was so difficult and keeping moisture in the ground so vital. About two Summer's ago was when it was 48oC here. Now it's down to -2oC overnight. We had droughts then floods in the same area within a year of each other. You couldn't buy a raintank anywhere a few months ago, now it's sandbags which are in great demand. This is not normal.
Anyway, apart from worrying about human-beings extinguishing themselves, I have spent most of today looking at the books (Harrison's is definitely my new fav) and my Guidelines, all to do with that paed job last night. Ugh. But I know if it wasn't a child, I wouldn't be quite as motivated/stressed. Don't mean to be ageist. So, yep, I'm going through another "I want to be an emergency paediatrician when I grow up" phase. And a tropic health specialist, and a primary care physician as well of course.
Another one of my patients died yesterday. It was so sad. There is only 2-degrees of separation between us, and when I took him to the hospital the last time, he knew it was his last trip. He was too young. It's tragic. It's hard to keep your professional distance in a small town.
So, yeh, don't I just sound so cheery today! LOL
Anyway, I'm absolutely loving work and study atm. I prefer to study than watch tv, so I think there's definitely something wrong with me sometimes! At least my fav shows are recorded for later, which are currently;
- Amazing Race Australia
- Downton Abbey
- Project Runway
- Project Runway Australia (starting soon)
