‘Here in France… the medics do differentiate… since “throwing-up” and “dashing to the loo” are not necessarily the same event…’
or even the same ‘vent’ -

No need to say sorry, in this instance… laughter is the best medicine… 
Bit of vacillation going on there. She’s currently working in an Australian hospital (sun, sea, sand and surgery) while she decides between interventional radiologist, which she already has some qualifications for, or GP specialising in woman’s health. Which, not being able to comment myself, I’m told is a, relatively speaking, somewhat neglected area. A school pal of hers branched out in that direction some years ago and her reports have interested Jill (my daughter).

It does probably counteract the amorous effect of the oysters having a dose of the squits!

or the squids, maybe?
The improbable franglais “Est-ce que huîtres”, en effet? 
My sister spent her career in women’s medicine and sexual health very happily. Huge range of opportunities, and still (at 67) is carrying on doing interesting things as a spin off despite having handed in her medical ‘badge’.

Whatsapps coming in from Jill of dead kangaroos on the side of the road in Melbourn, half a billion animals dead 
absolutely horrifying… 
I don’t think there has ever been anything more ghastly in my lifetime and for which human beings should blame themselves more. Australia is habitat for small nomadic bands of people not huge modern settlement - and even those small nomadic groups manage to deforest and eat their way through the local flora and fauna fairly efficiently. Do we really need more evidence that mankind is the planet’s major and most destructive pest?
I cannot bear the thought of wretched koalas shrieking as they burn to death in their burning trees, as reported in the press. And all those other creatures.

It’s the Australian politicians denials that this is anything out of the ordinary that kill me. My daughter Whatsapped me from Melbourne this morning, the wildlife fund she contributed to yesterday jumped 3M over night from 5M to 8M as pictures of the poor Koalas spread. This is the price of cheap iPhones.

I’ve thought this most of my life Bob. We breed like rats and do more damage. The real elephant in the room is how to curb mankind’s growth.
