Some of my favourite photos are of the aurora taken by astronauts on the ISS. I think of them often as a reminder that everything has a different perspective.

Every photo of video of ‘kids being kids’ has, invisible behind it, broader socioeconomic privilege, and a whole lot of (usually female) adult labour.

Behind this photo are many carers (to change kids out of wet clothes) and parent(a) with time to run the washing machine daily.

This is the ‘real stuff’.

No one - not one patient - is ‘anatomy’ or ‘physiology’. All patients are people, and all diagnostics and care must be contextualised and individualised.

This is why subjects that teach this re the most important.

I met the brilliant Kristine Ziwica at the kinder gate in 2014. Our second kids graduated primary school together tonight.

Every woman deserves a fellow feminist at the school gate. If you find one, hold her close.
