This week has been fairly depressing on ICU. People are sick and getting sicker, and I think I must have been shielded from this in my previous weeks because there was always someone on the ward who was getting better. However, in the words of Frank Sinatra, ‘That’s life’, so I had better get over it. I have put in quite a few NG tubes and cannulae and assisted in putting in a PICC line, so my practical skills are improving.
I have been out for dinner with the medical staff for a Fellow’s leaving do. This was my first thai meal, and while I don’t have a clue what I was eating, it did taste good! They also had amazing cocktails- the Naked Native was particularly good.
On Wednesday night I was taken out to Aria, a restaurant with amazing view of the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. We had the degustation menu- seven courses of absolutely amazing food with equally great company. I think my favourite course was the goose; cured goose breast with chicken liver parfait, poached rhubarb, black pepper and gingerbread. Amazing.
This weekend, I am meeting Kat in Melbourne for the weekend. I fly out on Friday and come back Sunday lunch time.
