Not a great photo, but 8500 steps done today as 'medical foundation year 28' doctor in ED.
Have 2 days off as colleagues covering this weekend (as I'm on call next weekend)
Wonder if I'll beat that total on Monday and Tuesday when I'm back

Your periodic reminder that mRNA vaccines are a scientific and public health game-changer. Those that have been approved have passed stringent efficacy and safety checks. They protect you and your child against potentially fatal diseases. You may, however, get a sore arm.
