My father’s response to the ad was “The only thing that could make me prouder would be to see your engagement announced in the local newspaper.”
Thank you for coming Fiona 💪 Inspiring a new generation!
I took the chance to shout out to the female doctors at the @PRINTconference today. I reminded them that they are valued and they matter and that they are making our system stronger.
To all my final year friends - check out how your new workplace rates! 😮

After the #suicide of another medical colleague, I want EVERYONE to read this.
You are good enough.
Messy house - who cares
Bit of screen time - so what
No groceries done - get tuckshop
Feeling sad - ask for help
Not coping - ask for help
Please, please, ask for help.
🙋🌈🤝
So so proud of my wonderful friends ❤️🌈 (@HennessWong is on Twitter 👋)

‘The biggest problem is you don’t want to be seen as not coping because it would affect your career because people would say, ‘Well, if you are not coping at this level, then we can’t really expect you to cope at a higher level with more complex patients, more complex problems’.
