Dr. Glaucomflecken And why is it if you put an ultrasound probe on any other body part, it’s just called an ultrasound but if you put it on the heart it’s and echo? Why isn’t it an echoappendigram? Echooophrogram? Echoophthogram?

Youngest only wants “sad face gingerbread mans” 🤷‍♂️

This invention is amazing but I feel like kids will miss out on the character building experience of losing 75% of your water bombs to the galvanised thread on the outdoor tap.

Actually rocked to find out about this. I spoke to Tina on the phone most weeks, though we never actually met. A fearless advocate for her patients and incredibly dedicated to her community. This whole region is going to feel her absence. RIP my friend. nzdoctor.co.nz/article/news/n…

Been a bit absent from Twitter. Just stopping back in to say I did the thing. Jimmy is on the program. 👁️ 👁️

As a New Zealand rugby fan, Michael Hooper irritated the hell out of me. What a great player, hope he gets called back up.

When the Medical Application Portal is down and then comes back online and we all get to celebrate the Return of the MAP

My approach has always been to call bosses by their title; until told not to. In Australia, you’d say it once. (“You can lay off that Dr bullshit, just call me Thommo”) In NZ, bosses almost definitely feel the same, but are too polite to say - so we stay stuck at awkward titles

Spotify wrapped but for all the crap Google knows about you. “You googled the dose of augmentin 23 times this year”

PSA: the instagram ads promoting Saltburn and the actual movie Saltburn appear to be two very different things. I was not ready.

It’s been a minute. Are we still doing #docswhorock ?
