About

I'm Lyall, a generation Y health professional who enjoys using apparatus for capturing moving images from time to time.

Conversations, wine, coffee and socks are nice too.

For the most part this tumblelog isn't a beacon of erudition however occasionally I post serious entries about healthcare and the image of nursing.

I have a surprising number of fashion and chaps related posts.

I run Space Rules, contribute to We Come From A Sunburnt Country a tumblr about Australia and a tumblr dedicated to gastronomic atrocities of the past called Aspic And Other Delights .

Currently living in Port Hedland and working in South Hedland, Western Australia at the regional hospital.

Ask a question.

space-bees: Too cute! One of these characters is a registered nurse. Will the writers use Rory’s nursing knowledge and experience in the narrative in the next season of Doctor Who? It seems a pity having a time travelling nurse the audience hardly knows is a RN.

HOSPITALS don’t burn down! (1977) - A dramatised documentary/fire safety film directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith for Film Australia/Department of Veterans Affairs.

The thought of evacuating a hospital is the one thing that truly terrifies me as a nurse. Fortunately safety has improved and we are better trained to deal with non-medical emergencies like fires in hospitals.

I never want it to happen but at least I know what I have to do if it does. - Lyall Furphy RN

comicallyvintage: Comfortable, Miss-X ? Be mindful to put your patient at ease with the use of therapeutic communication methods. It doesn’t hurt to establish professional boundaries and manage expectations either. Class, can you tell me how well you think this clinician has performed these functions?
