It's ironic how badly the NHS has been affected by ransomware. I've been having talks with people about this a lot recently. Right now my startup is jumping through hoops to comply with (outdated) data compliance issues and get access to the NHS N3 network, which is supposedly the NHS' secure server system. The actual… Continue reading NHS Hacked! The Great FHIR Wall Of The NHS Is Broken.

Boss, Can I?
Here's the reason your boss doesn't care about your ideas.
Be Selfish
What little I have accomplished in life is borne out of being completely selfish. When I went to medical school, strangers would say what a good person I was for choosing such a noble career. Similarly when I picked a specialty, people would go on to say what a good person I was for choosing such… Continue reading Be Selfish
Flame Vs Fire
Some people have a little flame that goes off from time to time: A moment of inspiration or a burst of enthusiasm.

Most of the things people believe are inherent characteristics from birth are actually just skills that they can work on. Here's… Continue reading Maybe She’s Born With It?

However, if you stop measuring this metric and concentrate on something else, you may find that… Continue reading Metrics Of Life
Hating Groups of People
Because of the state of the NHS, doctors are often written about in the news. It's no secret that working conditions for doctors in the NHS (whether junior or senior) are really bad and seem to be deteriorating rapidly with time. Shifts where you have to cover hundreds of sick patients by yourself is not… Continue reading Hating Groups of People
Resist Or Desist?
One thing I've noticed is that stuff never happens the way you thought it would. If you're taking a risk and pursuing something important to you, chances are things will go wrong in ways you couldn't have even envisioned. The thing is that if you try and live your life as safe as possible, consciously… Continue reading Resist Or Desist?
