Printing Policy Revisited

August 17th, 2008 at 4:02 pm » Comments (2)

Alright, I’m looking for some feedback here. I’m sure everyone is very familiar with the infamous “Printing Policy” that was implemented last fall. What some people may not know, though, is that through much brew-ha-ha and negotiation the UME finally came to a compromise on the printing issue and agreed to continue printing required manuals, [...]

lost in the jungle and other fun travel tales
Now that I’ve got your attention (well hopefully, I can’t think of too many more exciting subject lines than the one I just fed you), here is the scoop. So where to start? I suppose at the beginning. Or rather, where I left you dangling in suspense [...]

of mobs (the friendly kind), bugs, and jellyfish
Dearest readers,
I have so many new adventures to tell you about, but I must restrain myself and try to keep some sort of logic and order, so unfortunately you’ll have to read the regular email first and just wait for the juicy tales until the next time I [...]

Field Dispatch #2

From Mae Sot, this time
Hello all!
I find myself in a tiny yet strangely cosmopolitan little town called Mae Sot, in western Thailand, on the Burmese border. Although you can walk from one end of town to the other, on your way you will pass a variety of people-Westerners, both of the tourist, trekker, and NGO-worker [...]

From Rangsit, Thailand
Dearest readers,
Please accept my most sincere apologies for my most unexcusable delays in writing to you all, let me assure you that you have all been uppermost in my mind, it’s just sometimes the fingers don’t follow the heart…typing-wise, that is. Anyhow, for those of you weren’t aware, you will probably be only [...]

Good Things Do Happen In Medicine

June 2nd, 2008 at 12:31 am » Comments (0)

I don’t normally tell many stories about the types of things I have seen while working as a paramedic, but this particular story does have a happy ending, is a little comical (well I think so anyways) and is somewhat relevant to the reproduction part of our current unit. I told part of this story [...]

The latest addition to the alphabet….

May 29th, 2008 at 1:35 am » Comments (2)

I was thinking the other day about the alphabet. Actually I came to it in a somewhat roundabout way, but more on that in a second…
So we have an alphabet right? But what have we been doing to improve it? I’ll tell ya what. Nothing. We have had the same basic alphabet since….. well I [...]

Buried Treasures

May 7th, 2008 at 10:37 am » Comments (0)

I forgot how good it feels to write. Not just a short little blog, or a journal entry, and no, not even those lovely papers that we all enjoy writing. I’m talking about writing a short story, something I used to do frequently when I was young, but somehow got out of the habit of [...]

Marathoner in training – The Saga Continues

Well the Bluenose Marathon is fast approaching (May 18) and I hope everyone is doing well with their training. Keep it up, we’re almost there. Myself, I am in the tapering down part of my training to ensure my legs have some time to recover before I have push myself that extra 10 km to [...]
