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?

Some quick notes for myself before I visit the See Yup Temple in South Melbourne with a group of family historians this afternoon.

#chinozhist

1/ Image 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…

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.

Developing themes is the next phase I'm now moving into. Re-reading Chapter 4 of this book. Summarising here in a thread as I go. 1/ 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”.

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. .

Monday's free Blink:
The Light We Carry by @MichelleObama
blinkist.com/books/the-ligh… "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."

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?

1/ 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.

A thought...

The Immigration Restriction Act 1901 (AKA the #WhiteAustralia policy) didn't come out of the blue.

The Chinese knew it was coming and actively organised against it - politically and intellectually.

This publication was part of that struggle. #chinozhist

1/ Image You can download an electronic copy from the @Library_Vic. It was originally published in 1888, well before most "Australians" had arrived on our shores from Europe.

Thursday's free Blink. Love People, Use Things (Because the Opposite Never Works) (2021) by @JFM and @RyanNicodemus.

"our contemporary society is too defined by materialism – and that everyone might build fuller, happier, and less cluttered lives by adopting a more minimalist approach to living."

I don't disagree.

Thursday's free blinks.

The Science and Technology of Growing Young by @SergeyYoung200.

This is timely because as I grow out a beard on my holidays, I've noticed there are a few white hairs!

Is this going to be a Benjamin Button story?🤣 blinki.st/c87019b62fd6?b…
"The Longevity Revolution has already begun"

I'm thinking Stephen Dank and the Essendon Football Club.

Because I'm revising my draft literature review, and working particularly on my results and discussion sections which need to be pared down.

I want to know: what is the purpose of the results section? And what about the discussion?

This morning's free blinks: Richard Nixon, the life by @jaloysius

I definitely don't know much about Nixon, but do know that he is a polarising figure and the Watergate scandal tarnished his legacy, if he had any to begin with. @jaloysius blinki.st/c87019b62fd6?b…
Nixon had served in the US Navy during WW2. He was a lawyer from a town called Whittier in California. Another officer, Lt Renneburg convinced Nixon to run for congress.

Today's free blink? Leading with Love and Laughter (2021) by @zinasutch and @DrPatrickMalone.

Looks like it will be interesting. Who doesn't want to work where you feel loved and can laugh more? Sign me up. The authors look like they've both got doctoral degrees from this post, and work/study/teach at @AU_SPA.

Today's free blink is on Navalny (2021) by @JanMattiD @m_lallouet and @Ben_H_Noble. I can't say that I have a firm grasp on Russian politics. These blinks might help. Putin has dominated Russia for almost 2 decades. According to the authors, Navalny is perceived as a threat.

Today's free blinkist. The High 5 Habit (2021) by @melrobbins. Sounds like a positive psychology book. I wonder what tips I can pick up. blinki.st/c87019b62fd6?b…
Start high fiving yourself in the mirror at the start of the day. It'll cost you nothing and might improve things.

Today's free blink was An Autobiography by Gandhi. Gandhi was certainly an inspirational and interesting man. blinki.st/c87019b62fd6?b…
Gandhi was an influential man. Up there with Mandela and Martin Luther King Junior as men who shaped the 20th century in good ways.

Covid 19 testing. A rant.

Last night my daughter developed a snotty nose. This morning I developed some nasal congestion.

Off to the Covid19 test centre we went. Saturday morning morphed into Saturday afternoon. There was a long line, and that's ok. I got my daughter to read Wushka - thank goodness for the eduroam provider in the vicinity that powered my trusty Lenovo tablet because my Pixel 4 was running low on juice.

Today's free blinks are on the Epigenetics Revolution (2011) by @NessaCarey blinki.st/c87019b62fd6?b…
The human genome project was published in Jun 2000.

I was a final year medical student back then and have vague memories of the announcement in the news.

Epigenetics involves the switching on and off of various genes.

Today's free blink is Moneyland (2018) by @OliverBullough. Some of the stuff that people do to avoid paying back to society, and some of the stuff they get away with seems outrageous to me after listening to this book summary. blinki.st/c87019b62fd6?b…
This book seems to be about how the rich keep getting richer.
