The Desert Park and Dige lessons

While I've been off occasionally seeing patients and reviewing a backlog of pathology reports and discharge summaries/letters, Jen and the boys have been out and about - checking out the main attractions of the Alice. Yesterday they spent the day at the Desert Park, scoping out various birds and lizards indigenous to the area and learning about bush tucker and some aboriginal culture. Today they visited the School of the Air, went to a dige class at a local shop so now Jen can make a noise not dissimilar to a massive bout of flatus - I'm sure it'll come along though. They also visited the MBantua Aboriginal Art Gallery - predominantly of artists from the Utopia region - and were spellbound by some of the amazing works produced.

I managed to get through all the pathology reports today and hopefully organized a bit more work for myself, recalling about a third of the patients for review due to amazingly abnormal results. The amount of chronic and acute disability in this small community astounds me! I should hopefully be getting a bit busier over the next few days and if not will have to start a new project to keep myself busy, hmmm? It's not the most stressful job but not the most exciting either. We'll see how the rest of the week goes.
