Queensland Un-Health

Today I went to grand rounds at my hospital (for non-med types Grand rounds is basically a journal club / research presentation meeting), and despite Queensland Health’s aim of improving the health of Queenslanders, they appeared to be trying pretty hard to do the exact opposite to their staff. The lunch which was put on was largely deep fried: Spring rolls, Curry puffs, dim sims, etc. , although I suppose the orange juice was quite healthy.

Of course as an impoverished student (Oh, woe is me :-)) I could not resist the draw of free food. But if your doctor drops dead from a heart attack from having his or her arteries clogged by fatty foods, we may now know why…
