Why worry, I better fly.

I worry about my US friends. 🇺🇸 has become a complacent, unreliable partner, but you elected him.

MAGA the hope - dictatorship, loss of freedom of speech, and tariffs in exchange. Makes me truly sad, but..

Why worry, I can still fly here
🇨🇭 is a free democracy

I love the beeping.

Accoustic signals play an important role in my life.

Beeping in the ICU = my patient has a heartbeat = alive

Beeping in the air while flying = I am climbing

Beeping IS GOOD

What are your favorite beeps?

Sign out, drop in.

In 🇨🇭 we retire at the age of 65. A difficult scenario for an enthusiastic physician to change from a 150% workload in respiratory and critical care to "nothing". I am privileged to continue as a part-time consultant - with less admin burden and more time for action.
