@DrPaulBehrens Love your mahi!

[Sumit Samant @DrSumitSamant]

Correction: make that 4.5 hours

@2degreesmobile I think it's unfair that you can't sort out a fibre broadband connection to our new medical clinic. 3 hours on the phone over the last two weeks and I'm still on square 1. This has been the worst customer service experience I have ever had! 0/10!!

[Sumit Samant @DrSumitSamant]

@mo57744 So, even when we are gone, we still live on in our loved ones' memories. Might that awareness make our own death feel a bit less final? I don't know... 2/2

[Sumit Samant @DrSumitSamant]

@mo57744 Beautifuly said! Here's a thought: at the end of it all, we are simply a sum of our memories. Our bodies may change over time but we remain our selves, which is a bouquet of our life experiences 1/2

Looking forward to the workshop at Rotorua GP CME 2023 on WS188 Better Sleep Healthcare for Less: It Can Be Done. @GP_CME #gpcme #gpcmerotorua

@DrBarryMonk1 @Dr_Done_ I encourage patients to share something from their personal life with me and I reciprocate. Kids, hobbies, life experiences... This is whakawhanaungatanga, building relationships and strengthening ties.

[Sumit Samant @DrSumitSamant]

@DrBarryMonk1 @Dr_Done_ Patients, nursing and medical colleagues, cleaners, HCAs, managers, clinic and theatre bookers - pretty much everyone I interact with in the hospital and in private practice call me Sumit. For me, this lowers barriers to communication and reduces the power imbalance.

@emlitofnote @kidney_boy @PulmCrit And NZ residents also have a union. They, other team members and the patients are all better off because of it.

Played soccer again for the first time in more than two years. Turns out watching World Cup matches hasn't improved my skills on the pitch!

[Sumit Samant @DrSumitSamant]

Wow! What a fascinating and brave piece of work. Mind-blowing! Now do a cleanse and make a doco about something sweet and innocent @davidfarrier

[Sumit Samant @DrSumitSamant]

Booking my ticket to Mr Organ at the Silky Otter Ponsonby for this weekend with a sense of trepidation. I know it's a must-watch and I know it's going to hit hard! @davidfarrier

[Sumit Samant @DrSumitSamant]

@bookingcom it's been 21 days and I'm still waiting for this refund of more than 11k dollars. Have called the customer service that you have partnered with three times. Each time they say they've sent you a message. What the heck???

[Sumit Samant @DrSumitSamant]

@HorsleyCarl WTAF!

[Sumit Samant @DrSumitSamant]

@EricTopol Thanks for your hard work Eric. I'm traveling from NZ to the US for 2 weeks starting tomorrow. I've had four Pfizer shots. The second booster was two months ago. Is there any point in getting the bivalent shot while I'm in the US?

Adults with the healthiest sleep patterns (morning risers, sleeping 7-8 hours a day and no frequent insomnia, snoring or excessive daytime sleepiness) experienced a 42% reduction in the risk of heart failure compared to those with unhealthy sleep patterns https://t.co/3pzvRviHYq

@Dingus65755973 Thanks for reminding me. I've been meaning to do that myself so just went ahead and signed up.

[Sumit Samant @DrSumitSamant]

@davidfarrier Unless it's a pet skunk, of course. Then, it's very obvious, eh?

[Sumit Samant @DrSumitSamant]

@HorsleyCarl Loved the quote below the strip: there is no such thing as a "self-made" man. We are made up of thousands of others.

[Sumit Samant @DrSumitSamant]

@HeathertheHeron @ZJAyres Would you paint that picture again? I'd love to see it!
