The mug shot may look like it was taken in prison but it wasn't -
really! It's actually a Townsville General Hospital ID photo!
I am the NPC of the Cardiothoracic ICU at the TGH.
I've been involved in Critical Care since 1983 and gained my ICU
ticket at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (Sydney) in 1986 - in
the
good old days of the 12 month 'in ya face' IC course!
If you're out
there Course of '86 - look me up guys, I miss you all a lot!
I was an ICU/ED/CICU/CCU educator for a while - like 87-94,
and taught a lot of really good people stuff that they already knew,
some stuff they never heard of before, and the confidence to
go out and use it and learn even more again!
And now I run a CICU with some of the best nurses I know, too
small a budget to do the best we can, three Surgeons (an
undisclosed number of which could be a little more user freindly -
but are pretty good all the same), and best of all - the greatest climate
in the country!
