Crustaceans, Asians and Gay Revelations

Fireworks, Silk and Dentistry

What i consider as two of my worst shifts ever at the emergency department was Jan 25th & 26th.

See, the 25th was the night before Australia Day, where clever, well-behaved teenagers, the homeless, alcoholic, depressed and people with heart problems all decide to celebrate one night early and come to emergency with cuts, gashes, fractures, missing limbs, drug overdoses, suicide attempts and heart attacks.

I started work at 10:30pm and finished at 8:30am. After three hours of sleep, i decided that i needed to prepare for the next shift. I attended a friend's barbecue, scored free food and beer, and strolled down to King's park to watch the skyworks.
SOMEHOW I found that I was carrying THIS in my hand:


A near full bottle! And so I proceeded to relieve it of its burden so it could be empty and free once more...
The fireworks were great!



And so, very much intoxicated and happy, I staggered to work, where we sutured and x-rayed one teenager after another.....hit by car, hurt in fight, stabbed by bottle etc

It was a wild night. Towards the morning we started getting all the depressed, suicidal and overdoses.
One guy admitted himself because he watched a couple of people fighting and felt "anxious and worried for them". He later left before anyone could talk to him. Must have sobered up :P

On a positive note, my younger brother found out that he gained entrance into the dentistry course here at UWA. I'm really happy and proud of him.
I have a sore tooth at the moment, and will wait five years for him to graduate so i don't have to pay for any treatment. Lol.


Jonny and Ash have been conspiring to have a banquet on my behalf, even though i physically can't make it.
Well, heres proof that I am scraping out an existence on my hospital staff room. (see below)
So anything you charge onto my accounts will bounce baby! Just like the orange in my pic did when i dropped it hehehe.

A new sense of elation

Notice anything wrong with this X-ray?

Today i received my first pay check.

For the second time in three months I felt elated.

Most definitely there is a God.

*prays silently* Thank You....

Your Brain's Pattern

Your mind is a firestorm - full of intensity and drama. Your thoughts may seem scattered to you most of the time... But they often seem strong and passionate to those around you. You are a natural influencer. The thoughts you share are very powerful and persuading.

What Pattern Is Your Brain?

Unhealthy Carnage

My man recently returned from overseas and asked me to pick him up from the airport.

Little did I realize that there was a more precious cargo which required my ferrying.

Yes, Bacardi superior white rum. One sexy litre worth. And Davidoff cigars.

So, after 2 nights of hanging out after my ED shifts and 2 limes later, this is the carnage:

Working Class Man

Yes.....after much too long a time, am finally in the workforce.

On advice from Cal, I brought my ruddy Palm Zire along and snapped some shots. It sure as hell ain't no ixus, but it has its good moments.
I begin my internship at the emergency department of Royal Perth Hospital.

The hospital started off by giving us free lunches for the first week (pic 1), each sponsored by some company that wanted to enlist us and our newfound money.

The emergency dept is busy, but there are a lot of senior docs to support us when we are unsure. There is also this cool rooftop smoking balcony which i spend a lot of time on.





This is the screen I check every hour
to see who comes in and what to treat.

In the last 2 pics, I sneak up on an unsuspecting patient and steal 20mL of bllooooodd.....
I must feed!!!! Muahuahauhaha!! *cue thunder* *pipe organ plays transylvania theme*

In the rain

And then i met her.

After that, it was difficult for anything else to matter.

Ironically, because of you, things now matter more than ever.
