A breath of fresh air
“And that’s why you do Paediatrics,” Dr. B. (my consultant) said after the woman with the gurgling baby girl left. We were in outpatient clinic, and on this occasion most of his appointment had failed to show. I beamed at the disappearing stroller. When they were out of sight, I sighed and looked at him, registered he’d said something belatedly and laughed when I realised...

Tiny lives
Day 1, Paediatrics: I realised that it would take a lot of courage to become a NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) doctor. One of the babies, the only surviving baby of a multiple gestation inutero lying there, grossly swollen like no human should — her face more skin than features, 3x her weight in fluid. It was upsetting. More upsetting than I thought it would be for someone who has 2...

Kafka on the shore
I came back to Melbourne in the midst of humidity thick enough to lower swim through, though that part may be due to the rain. A huge difference from when I’d left Auckland airport — a beautiful sunset which it felt like we flew into. Impossible, isn’t it? We were supposed to be flying west, unless we took off in the opposite direction.
Another year. Another place to call home,...

Happy new year!
Last night some of Been’s friends and I found ourselves watching fireworks explode in the reflection of buildings, and the skytower, and over the skyline last night.
