Last year of residency and prepping for Royal College. Lately, I’ve been feeling especially guilty for not spending enough times with the kids. But when I do spend time with them, I worry that I am not studying enough.

@LMcGruthers @carrie_kollias I was told by a staff that she gets a teaching stipend when I was rotating with her. She paid for my lunch every time she saw me in the caf.

where livestock can’t eat its leaves or bark, thus avoiding death.

It’s an useful piece of knowledge. Whenever patients tell me chemotherapy is synthetic chemical and that they prefer going the natural route...

Like how Taxanes were known to be toxic since the middle age, when wood from yew trees was used to make long bows. Apparently, every rural village in England had a huge yew tree but they were always found within the walled-in church cemetery

Retaining information ain’t always easy. One helpful tip is to associate the information with the place where you first learned it.

Like reading about Taxanes at Grande Arche de la Defense in Paris. Another way is to relate it to something interesting.

@AirCanada I must say. I am rather impressed at how quickly my tweet was answered. Kudos. I got my seat, thank you.

@DrAlexLouie This could be the start of a paper. So this is what Twitter is good for.

[James Tsui, BEng, MSc, MDCM, PhD, FRCPC @jamesmgtsui]

So I am taking your advice @DrAlexLouie to be social. Here’s my first of many tweets. Maybe.
