On my mother's side, we are descendents of goldrush-era Chinese immigrants to Australia. There were three brothers who were involved in the Beechworth mines possibly from as early as the 1860s. Their names were 黄世彦, 黄世圖 and 黄世祚. familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1…

Wong Shi Hoo is my great grandfather - my maternal grandmother's father. He was naturalised and became a British subject in 1885. recordsearch.naa.gov.au/scripts/AutoSe… 3/
Wong Shi Hoo died on 3 Feb 1908 in Melbourne. Interestingly he has a very auspicious registration number of 3888.
Shi Too's will is at @PRO_Vic. It was drafted by Australia's first Chinese barrister, William Ah Ket.

I'm doing a plastics list with a resident this afternoon who hasn't seen my sedation technique. I thought I'd quickly jot down some notes about the technique which I'll unroll into a blog post later.
1/
When sedating for a procedure, you need to ask yourself at least three questions: 1/ How long is the procedure going to take? 2/ How painful is the procedure both intraprocedure and post-procedure? 3/ What are the expectations of the proceduralist?
2/
Reflecting...
Perhaps better questions are:
1/How long is the stimulus/duration of discomfort?
2/How painful is the stimulus? How well innervated is the area being stimulated?
This also goes to the heart of the grey zone between sedation and general anaesthesia.

Reviewing this one by @ArpanTahim @doctordeborah and @jeffbezemer after my supervision meeting last week. Recommended that it has parallels with my own research- that the WBA is an artefact, as is the recording of video of clinical practice.

The citation:
Arpan Tahim, Deborah Gill, and Jeff Bezemer, ‘Workplace-Based Assessments—Articulating the Playbook’, Medical Education n/a, no. n/a (2023), .
What insight can I gain from the production of WBA records that helps me understand the production of the video recording and how it might influence the learning conversation?

Developing the themes in reflexive thematic analysis involves a constant back and forth of zooming in and zooming out. You must also give yourself enough time to do it... “It’ll probably take at least twice as long as you expect”.
2/
What is a theme? “A theme captures a pattern of meaning across the dataset”. In reflexive TA a theme represents a shared idea, and is different to a topic summary.
So I was asked - what is the evidence for feedback/ learning conversations in #MedEd? I was sort of stumped, because I just assumed that it's useful/helpful. This thread is what I've found.
1/
This article seemed quite helpful.
@SubhaRamani @KarenDKonings @sginsburg1 and @CvanderVleuten. ‘Feedback Redefined: Principles and Practice’. Journal of General Internal Medicine 34, no. 5 (1 May 2019): 744–49. .
Interestingly I met Subha Ramani at #AMEE2022 at lunch time after being introduced by Richard Hays. And I'm pretty sure I attended a workshop run by Shiphra at #CCME2019. It's a small world.😅

"Inside you is a light – it’s a spark completely unique to you: your talents, your determination, your curiosity. What’s stopping you from letting that light shine out fully? Is it fear?
"...acting to avoid fear makes us feel safe – but there are consequences."
"So, next time you hear your own fearful mind, listen to it. Listen to all the ways it encourages you to avoid change. To stay in your comfort zone. To keep your world small.
"Then ask it: Why don’t we try doing something that makes our world bigger for once?"
Going through the feedback on my presentation... @SteveTrumble made a comment that the participants in the video I showed used the video with a very "Socratic" method, or with a very Socratic pedagogy.
So I decided I wanted to know - what exactly does that mean?
The best resource I found was probably this one:
Delic, Haris, and Senad Bećirović. ‘Socratic Method as an Approach to Teaching’. European Researcher 111 (1 November 2016): 511–17. doi.org/10.13187/er.20….
Unfortunately the English writing is not great.

This is my interpretation of what they said.
Socrates was a Greek philosopher who lived in Athens. His approach encourages participants in the dialogue to seek deeper understanding during the discussion.
