Lumo Light Festival Weekend in Oulu! ✨🌟
We loved it again, with our favorite being the Ice King and Queen at the Kiikkusaari playground! ❄️👑 The timing of this festival couldn't be more perfect; while November can be dark and chilly, this weekend is something to wait for.

Heard about reversed stethoscope technic yesterday and had to try it. So today I had a chat with someone who hasn’t chatted for a long time. Whoever came up with this is a genious🤩

So I was thinking Saturdays are for housework but then there was a cat in the way with some very good arguments.

One of the things I love about Finland and my town Oulu is that if I step out of my door there will be 120 km of these cross country tracks to bike/run/walk and in the winter ski on. No cars to worry about and kept in perfect condition. And it’s the flower season.

Mid-Summer celebration is officially over! To us it’s all about sauna and swimming and granny feeding us too much. This picture is taken 9 p.m. a perfect time for a trip to a nearby beach.

Had a talk on how to evaluate pain in dementia? You do see altering in vital sings, breathing, or uneasiness. But the key is observing. Certain muscle tension or protective ways to move, overall habitus.
This is The Wounded Angel by Hugo Simberg, it is possible to see the nonspoken suffering.

Oh it’s a fun day! Kids are dressed up as witches and go door to door. For a short rhyme and an easter branch they receive candy. I over did candy management, again, so I’m just spoiling them❤️

So received 30 € automatic money back from the Finnish KELA from a regular doctor’s appointment. Yet not happy. Goverment is ready to use this money on me when I really don’t need it yet cutting off so much from my tools to help my patients. This week I’m going to find a better way to use this 30€.

Vacation and skiing for couple of days. I grew up here and feel the need to come back for a reload at times. Ylläs❤️

Asked for a presentation on Palliative Sedation. Not much new here, so I’m desperate for some kind of a wow-factor. Any Art/Poem that could trigger some conversation ?

Geriatri of the Year Finland, MD, dos. Hanna-Maria Roitto! Still wowed by her speech. How is it possible to bend the platforms of science and art into one united study of humanity in just 20 min? I never undestood Rafael Wardi as I do now, thanks!
