Well hello Wellington. Reveal to me the secrets of your running trails!
So far my Wellington experience has been punctuated by Simon Bridges, Three Wise Men and shit public transport.
Wait, your buses don’t take paywave, credit card or eftpos? Which century are we living in again?
Also downloaded the snapper app assuming I could use my phone as a card but…
Update: the bus driver was lovely and told me to “pay it forward”. Also, the other perk of Wellington Buses is the “bus tunnel!” Image

Where does Wellington keep its Fabergé egg again? Image
I’m #RunningwithEmma tonight. I have to come to conferences to get enough time to catch up on podcasts. Tonight is the excellent #GettingBetter episode with @emmawehipeihana and @kseggleton. podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/get…
Wellington, why do you have so many hills? #trailrunning Image

Warm welcome for fellow GPs from @DrMurton. It’s so good to get together with ones people! #gp21 #RNZCGP
Now hearing from @AndrewLittleMP, the Minister of Health, acknowledging the hard work of the last 18 months. “No room for complacency” #gp21
The usual platitudes acknowledging workforce shortages, GP burnout and the important place of #primarycare in our NZ health system. What is going to be done to address this? #gp21

Day 4/5 concussion thread:
Day 4 was similar to day 3 (low grade constant generalised headache) but day 5 is quite a bit better (only mild focal intermittent headache and fatigue already improving).
Settling into a pattern of limited morning tasks, afternoon nap and evening family time. Keeping up hydration and salt intake. Thanks for the suggestion for salt and vinegar chips, @ReflectingRehab. It was good until the kids ate them all! 😭 🤦‍♂️ 2/?
Saw my (new) GP yesterday. Really lovely - empathetic yet firm. Got a concussion clinic referral so hoping to hear from them in the next few days. Boy GP fees have really gone up! 😳
(Worth every penny though!)😉 3/?

Day 2/3 concussion thread:
Day two and another bunch of things I have learned. I felt great yesterday. Good enough to tweet at least. Today, well, not so much.
I went for a walk Saturday and I only got a very mild headache when I had to walk up a steep Hill which settled when the ground evened out. in retrospect this should have been a warning sign if indeed the significant concussion wasn’t in the first place. 2/?
Additionally, overnight I had a strange experience when up to the loo. Walking down the hallway it felt like my spinal cord was “hanging” from my brain. Weird, eh. With each step I would get a jarring tingling sensation through my whole body. This hasn’t recurred. 3/?

Concussion thread:
Yesterday I suffered my first concussion while skiing. I’m a GP and former rugby team doctor so I have done plenty of sideline and delayed concussion assessments in my time. This is a thread on what I’ve learned in the last 24 hours. 1/?
Wear a helmet. I impacted the bottom of a little gully headfirst at approximately 50km/hr (according to movement data I tracked). If I had been helmet free (which I had seriously considered as I wasn’t planning on doing anything “risky”) I would not be here to tweet today.2/?
Concussion is acutely very disconcerting to the affected individual. I don’t know how many times I looked around to try and work out where I was and how I had got there but my brain just couldn’t compute.3/?
