As my graduating peers and I embark on our medical careers, it’s a fitting time to consider which medical careers we actually desire. I’ve always had a strong sense of direction for the specialty path I wish to pursue, but at times, like now, I flirt with the idea of pursuing other avenues. It is an important issue that deserves deliberate consideration as it’s what most of us will dedicate the lion’s share of our lives to.
Is being a “specialist in life” as a GP ...

Medical Drones Will Thrive in Healthcare: A Safe Road to Health
Time is crucial in healing, no matter whether it’s about a natural disaster, heart attack or an organ transplant. In future medical emergencies, where urgent response will be necessary, drones will mean the fastest answer. They will fly the extra mile in delivering drugs, vaccines, blood or organs.
Drones are the future of delivery
According to my geek calendar, 2017 will be the year of the drone. These advanced versions of model airplanes or unmanned aerial vehicles are everywhere on the rise. According to the estimates of the Consumer Technology Association, 9.4 million units were projected to be sold in 2016 worl...

Extinguishing Medical Errors with Oil and Gas
Unfortunately for patients and healthcare workers alike, medical errors happen. No matter how well-trained and experienced the practitioner, underneath the scrubs there still resides a human and errors will follow. However, systems can be put in place to minimise them and medicine could do well to learn lessons from other industries.
In 2012, there were 107 serious medical errors in Australian hospitals. These ranged from surgery performed on the wrong patient or body part, to surgery where instruments were left inside the patient, to medication errors and in-hospital suicides 1.
When considered in the context of the 53 mi...
