Oh, your first Pokémon game was Sword and Shield?
This one's... a little bit different.

“Every surgeon carries within himself a small cemetery, where from time to time he goes to pray – a place of bitterness and regret, where he must look for an explanation for his failures.’ René Leriche, La philosophie de la chirurgie, 1951”

Thank you so much @HNEkidshealth for an awesome 2018! Best of luck to all of the new doctors, hope y’all love it as much as I did! ♥️♥️

It's the first day of a new rotation for 36 Paediatric Medical and Surgical Registrars at John Hunter Children's Hospital, continuing their specialist medical training journey.

@VirginAustralia Not doubting your intentions or efforts. Just wish y’all could keep your ground staff better informed of reasons for delay so that they could let us know too. Right now it feels like we’re all flying blind ✈️

[Alan Pham @poeticMD]

@VirginAustralia this is unreal...heaps of the cancelled VA139 passengers were rebooked to VA145 to AKL to try and get us to CHC on morning flight the next day...and now the Auckland flight is DELAYED 5hrs?? And no explanations about why...sigh. It’s been >24hrs of waiting...😭

[Alan Pham @poeticMD]

@VirginAustralia I always fly @VirginAustralia and this is luckily one of the few times organization and service have been less than awesome, but unfortunately there are lots of confused and unhappy travelers here and small early interventions would’ve made a big diff. Feedback for next time

[Alan Pham @poeticMD]

@VirginAustralia Customers wouldn’t mind the @VirginAustralia delays so much if we actually got updates from somebody other than google or other random third party websites. Communication from ground staff about updates, gate changes and reasons for delays have been incredibly poor (VA139)
