I won’t sugarcoat it—travelling full-time as a locum asks a lot of you.

You give up job security, support, and stability.
You leave behind routine, familiarity, and the comfort of a team.

You sacrifice proximity to friends, family, and what most people call “home.”

There are moments it feels uncertain. Unsettling. Even lonely.

But then there are moments like this.

An Aussie girl snowmobiling across a glacier in Iceland, miles from anywhere… reminding you exactly why you chose this path.

Because what you gain is something most people never truly experience.

Freedom.
Independence.
Autonomy.

The ability to be your own boss—choosing your own path, on your own terms.

You build confidence that can’t be taught.
Resilience that can’t be faked.
Perspective that only comes from stepping outside what’s familiar.

You learn to trust yourself completely. To adapt anywhere. To stand firmly in your own decisions.

And slowly, you realise—you’re not just working in different places…
you’re building a life that belongs entirely to you.

It’s not the easiest path.
But it is the most empowering.

And it’s the path I’ll choose—time and time again.

Sonographers — take a moment this weekend to feel proud of what you do.

Every day, you walk into a room where someone feels uncertain… and you bring clarity, reassurance, and care.

You’re not “just scanning.” You’re supporting, detecting, guiding — and making a difference in ways that often go unseen.

Quietly, consistently… you change lives.

Be proud of that 💛

We don’t talk enough about the impact of patient viewing screens in non-obstetric ultrasound.

Because while the intention is good — transparency, inclusion, engagement — the reality is more complex.

When patients can see the scan in real time, they don’t just observe it… they interpret it.

Every shadow can feel significant.
Every dark area can look concerning.
Every unfamiliar shape can quickly become something worrying.

And the problem is — that interpretation is happening before any explanation.

I’ve seen normal anatomy mistaken for pathology more times than I can count.
A rib during a breast scan.
A normal vessel.
Benign structures that suddenly feel alarming to the person watching.

It also changes the scan itself.

Patients speak when breath-hold is needed.
They move at critical moments.
Focus shifts — for them and for us.

But the biggest shift is quieter.

Anxiety can build in real time.
Not because something is wrong — but because uncertainty is being watched without context.

So the scan becomes something else entirely.

Not just a diagnostic test — but a moment where meaning is created on the spot, often inaccurately.

I don’t routinely turn the screen on unless a patient asks.

Interestingly, in Australia patient viewing screens are common practice — but when I worked in the UK NHS, it was rare.

So I’m curious —

Does full visibility actually help patients understand?
Or does it sometimes create unnecessary worry?

What’s the approach in your department?

“Good news — your scan is clear.”

It’s something most people expect to feel relieved hearing.

But it’s not always that simple.

A “normal” ultrasound doesn’t always mean nothing is wrong. It just means we didn’t find a cause on this scan.

Ultrasound can only show what it can see.
It doesn’t always explain pain.
It doesn’t always detect early disease.
And it doesn’t always give answers.

I’ve scanned patients with completely normal results… who were still very unwell.

And I think this is something we have a responsibility to explain more clearly.

Patients deserve to understand what ultrasound can’t detect — and that sometimes, other types of imaging might be needed.

Because an ultrasound is just one piece of the puzzle.

And good care isn’t just about what we find…
it’s about being honest about what we can’t.

Have you ever been told everything was “normal” — but it didn’t feel that way?

We need to be an advocate for our patients 💙

We don’t always have the answer.

And in healthcare… that’s uncomfortable to admit.

People come in wanting certainty.
Clear results. Reassurance.

But the reality?

Not every scan is definitive.
Not every symptom makes sense.
And sometimes the most honest answer is:
“I’m not sure yet.”

There’s a quiet pressure to know.
To be confident.
To have the answer ready.

But recognising your limits isn’t failure.
It’s judgement.

It’s knowing when something doesn’t add up.
When to pause.
When to ask for another opinion.
When to escalate.

And when to sit with uncertainty—
instead of filling it with false reassurance.

That’s where the real responsibility lies.

Not in having all the answers…
but in knowing when you don’t.
