Being 50% through internship has made me reflect on ‘what I have learnt so far’. I made a list of 10 things that I will hopefully continue to add to/ tweak as I continue to work. I’ve realised that it’s true when they say Medicine is far, far more than textbook knowledge. – at Melbourne, Victoria

I’m so excited that the lockdown is ending in Victoria but I want people to remember for many the lockdown continues. For refugees in detention they remain locked up. For people seeking asylum and international students they remain lockdown by poverty & inequality. This must end.

1/ I am a third-year medical student. Yesterday, I was assigned a new patient. I hadn’t met them yet, but knew they had presented with liver-related symptoms. In preparation for morning rounds, I flipped through their chart and checked their lab work.
