People think medicine is about knowledge. It isn’t. It’s about judgment. After decades in hospitals and general practice, I learned that the most important lessons in medicine aren’t taught in lectures or textbooks. They’re learned quietly, often uncomfortably, and usually alone. This Substack is about those lessons. The patients who keep you awake at night. The decisions you replay at daybreak.
I won’t write about guidelines or exams.
I will write about what happens once the consulting room door closes.
If that interests you, I’m glad you’re here.
