Just some of the many skin cancers detected and treated in recent times. The first one is interesting - a pigmented SCC! Then a collection of SCCs and BCCs of various sizes. Elbows, foreheads, forearms, necks - they can come up almost anywhere.

I’ve been on paternity leave and in the precious moments of silence, it has been very therapeutic for me to get the creative juices flowing.

This year I created a website as part of my way of getting back into writing and the creative process - www.poemsformysons.com

Here is one I wrote recently.

“The End of a Day Spent With My 3-Year Old”

I’m squatting on a step stool in the dark, my bum going numb
Next to my son comfortably tucked in, taking his time to succumb
My hands keep my head from rolling off onto the floor
Just biding the right moment to make for the door
My brain is failing and my back is so sore
I’ve lost count of my coffees since the first one at four
This afternoon at the beach you lost your shoe
When while showering you threw it as I was telling you not to
My patience has been thusly tested I don’t know how many times
I don’t know how I’ve managed to not lose my mind
I don’t think I had ever imagined being this fried
Don’t think I could become more tired if I tried
I’m just so ready now to collapse into bed
It’s a whole new meaning now, to feel exhausted
This time tomorrow will probably be the same
The crazy thing is,
I gladly do it all over again.

Morning session at during my 3-week paternity leave (baby came earlier than expected!)

I am located here for no-scalpel vasectomy (including consultations) + minor skin cancer surgery, for privately insured patients.

Also sharing the other two places I work when I’m not at my “base” in Hahndorf - Kings Park Clinic and Skin Matters in Burnside.

These are my locations in South Australia.

At Hahndorf I do the whole gamut of general practice mainly focusing on chronic disease and preventive care, with special interests in skin cancer and vasectomy (Phone: 08 8388 7066)

At Kings Park, I run a skin cancer diagnosis and treatment clinic which includes minor skin cancer surgery. I will also see patients for no scalpel vasectomy consultation (Phone: 08 8271 0303)

At Skin Matters in Burnside, I am part of a team of skin cancer doctors where I also do skin cancer diagnosis and treatment including minor skin cancer surgery (Phone: 08 8364 5800)

At Burnside Day Surgery, I provide minor skin cancer surgery (including small local flaps or grafts when necessary) and no scalpel vasectomy to private health insured patients. Procedures here can be done under local anaesthetic or IV sedation with an ANZCA accredited anaesthetist (Phone: 08 7228 5648)

With MSI Australia, I provide no scalpel vasectomy for non-insured patients from various parts of the state at various locations. MSI Australia is a not for profit family planning organization (www.vasectomy.org.au)

This was an awesome podcast by HealthEd.

The reason I find it difficult to go into full time skin cancer and vasectomy work is because I still love my general medicine. I love learning all sorts of things from all areas of medicine which I can institute for the benefit of my patients (as well as in my own life!)

Some very thoughtful points on how we should approach anxiety, the wording and language we use around anxiety, and the impacts of screen time, among a bunch of other gems.

1 in 9 Australians with a uterus live with endometriosis. That's over 1 million people.
And yet, the average diagnosis still takes 6.5 years. Six and a half years of pain being dismissed, minimised, or misunderstood.

Endometriosis is a whole-body disease. Tissue similar to the uterine lining grows in places it shouldn't, causing chronic pain, fatigue, and in some cases, infertility. It shows up differently in every person. There is no cure.

If something feels wrong, trust that. Book an appointment with your GP and start the conversation.

I wrote a poem about what it’s like sometimes being a doctor.

5 March 2026, 1.05PM

I love working in medicine
Treating people with art, science and reason

But sometimes helping people can be difficult
You try your best but don’t get the result
And everybody is so very different
Yet everybody expects the same:
The perfect outcome for every treatment

And when it’s not perfect some do complain
It is their right, but it sure wrecks your brain
At work you place others first every minute (and sometimes even once they’re out of sight)
And one unhappy person can lose you sleep overnight

You’ll learn some things are beyond your control
Though you wish they weren’t because it sure takes a toll
You’ll find some perceptions of you can be cold
Sometimes you’ll feel like you just want to fold

But ultimately I know who I am
I genuinely care and try as hard as I can
I use what I learn, always seeking information
Anything to make me a better clinician

Working in medicine can be tough
There is so much at stake
Disappointing even one person can lead to heartbreak
It really tests how much stress a human can take

Working in medicine can be rough
But when the day ends
Lying down feeling spent
I think about all the good that’s been done
And that’s enough

🌍 On international HPV Awareness Day, we come together to raise awareness about the human papillomavirus (HPV), one of the most common viral infections worldwide. HPV affects millions of people each year and can lead to several types of cancer. HPV is preventable and in most cases, treatable when detected early.

💉 Vaccination, regular screenings, and open conversations with healthcare professionals are powerful tools in preventing HPV-related disease.

Today is a call to act: strengthen awareness, support immunisation programmes, and prioritise routine check-ups to lessen the long-term burden and protect future generations.

Knowledge empowers. Prevention protects.
