Sticky 2.0 Journal reorganised.

(24.09.20)
Never too late to return to an old friend.

Journals are like best friends who never grow old, never married or have children, never have careers with commanding time, energy, space.

Like gold they hold their value. Waiting for your return.

This journal has chronicled my senior high school years, my university years. Then my journey to professional HCP, The beginnings of new grad, and then radio silence.

Let's pick up the story.
There's 8 years worth to tell.

In the spirit of confidentiality:

MICH major inner city hospital
MSH major suburban hospital
SSH small suburban hospital

sections inside MICH:
small ICU [where I currently work]
big ICU
neuro ICU (where I worked blissfully from 2015-2019)
cardiac ICU
covid ICU (actually no longer open because Australia is an island and a very wealthy nation).
