Christmas 2012
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have had great days, spending time with loved ones, while eating and drinking copious amounts of food and booze respectively. Tis the season to be jolly after all. Though someone has to prepare the food, or in our case, a team of people. All this other stuff going…

My week off
Or perhaps it should be called “My week on” because I ended up doing so much stuff. Yes, it was my wonderful self-directed learning week, rather cruelly and dastardly placed the week before my last week of class, forcing me to fully abandon work for Christmas preparations only to have to pick things up a…

If in doubt…
…cut it out! That’s the motto of dermatology, or at least it’s the approach taken when it comes to suspicious moles and other skin cancers. It has been a busy week in Antrim, and scattered all over the Northern Trust, but it has also been fun. I managed to get back up to Belfast to…

A game review?! Not really
There was no real post last weekend, just a general commentary on life and death. I did not feel inspired to write anything interesting or whimsical, it just didn’t seem appropriate in my mind at that time. Another new week though, and life goes on.

We are all but mere mortals
We are all but mere mortals. No truer has that sentiment been to me than the last few days, when I lost a classmate and friend to a terrible accident. It is the most surreal, and unreal, experience I have ever known. To know someone you knew, and so full of life, is gone from…

Daisy Hill…in Newry. Our consultant just happened to have a clinic on every Monday there, which was just great. Of…

The Blog Strategy
I have a dream. Not really a dream, more of an idea. Even to call it an idea is a bit strong, so lets call it a strategy. I am a huge WordPress fan, and I enjoy the whole blogging experience here. It is just so simple to add new content, even for those who…

Movie night, and a burning desire for fudge…
Don’t judge a book by its cover. The dishevelled looking crazy person on the bus; the one hunched over in his seat, looking at the ground and rummaging through his bags is not, in fact, insane. He is actually an intelligent being who looks exhausted because he sprinted up the road after this bus, which…

Blood, and other stuff
This has been one hectic week, and I couldn’t be happier to see the weekend. Don’t get me wrong, it was fun and I learned a lot, but there was so much packed into each day I was completely exhausted by the end of it. There’s nothing worse than waking up in darkness, getting ready,…
