New idea

Given the fast approaching New Year, thought I’d fire up an idea I’ve been toying with – blogging. I find writing things down to be a worthwhile way to solidify ideas. Twitter is too brief, LinkedIn too formal, FaceBook too….. social. Blogging may be juuuust right.

I hope to start / enter into conversations regarding global health, humanitarian aid, medical education, music, martial arts, whatever takes my fancy.

As part of my international anesthesia education work, I have cause to spend time in many developing countries. Consequently I have picked up some hints and tricks, from experience and from other people. Thought this would be a good place to share.

By no means am I intending this blog to be read by the hard-core aid workers whose work and blogs I admire so much. Rather, I hope to help those like me who are trying to juggle a career and a family, and still help some colleagues in medically-underserved regions of the world.

We’ll see.
