So I asked a question during rounds about the A-a gradient and he said “why don’t you look it up and present it tomorrow after rounds,” so I spent hours on a presentation but the next day he never asked me to present.

It is with great sadness that we learned of the sudden and unexpected death of our colleague Dr Michael Yung.
Michael trained in Paediatric Intensive Care at the Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne in the early 1990s, subsequently working in Kenya as a paediatrician intensivist and the UK before returning to Australia. For the past 25 years, he worked as an intensivist at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Adelaide, where he was Director of the PICU until a few years ago.
Over the course of his career, Michael made an enormous contribution to our specialty. He was a rigorous and incisive clinical researcher, exploring multiple common PICU problems and therapies. Such was the quality of his work that a randomised controlled trial that he performed 25 years ago still influences treatment of acute asthma in critically ill children today. His comprehensive and careful reading of the PICU literature informed his practice; he exemplified the role of the academic clinician, continuously distilling and interpreting evidence to improve care. He had recently been studying a Masters in Biostatistics, reminding his colleagues that it was important to “not just exercise the body but to continue to exercise the mind”.
...
We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues at this sad time.

The crowd singing to Jannik Sinner after each win in Turin is becoming a bit of ritual.
But watching Jannik’s reaction to their chants is the best part.
His eyes are filled with pride & love.
A beautiful night in Turin. 🥹
I’m horrified to see the bombing of al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza and unequivocally condemn it. I urge the Israeli government to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza and reiterate the call for a ceasefire. I am directing $300K to three charities helping Palestinian people under attack.
