I had one of those days today, so I thought I’d write about it. This post will be more “medical” than usual. I saw a lady today in clinic who has been treated for at least 10 years for a “hepatoma,”...

I’m fine, thank you. Yes, there was a massive landslide in PNG, but it was far away from me or anyone I know. It was very remote. Please remember that number estimates will be unreliable for some time. And no, there are no...
