Dr. Anjali Menon
Medical Oncology
Breast oncologist in a tertiary centre. Writes mostly about the parts of a clinic appointment that do not fit in the appointment.
Contributors
Everyone publishing on MyThoughtBook — the clinicians and the people they treat.
Doctors
Clinicians writing about their own practice.
Dr. Grace Adeyemi
Rehabilitation Medicine
Rehabilitation physician on a stroke unit. Believes recovery is measured in the things people want to do again, not the things we can score.
Dr. Priya Raghavan
Nephrology
Nephrologist running a haemodialysis unit. Interested in what a treatment costs a person beyond what it costs a health system.
Dr. Rafael Ortiz
Cardiology
Interventional cardiologist. Spent fifteen years being proud of door-to-balloon times before noticing what happens to people after they go home.
Dr. Sarah Okonkwo
Neonatology
Neonatologist in a level III unit. Very small patients, very long admissions, and the parents who learn an entire clinical vocabulary in a fortnight.
Dr. Thomas Lindqvist
Psychiatry
Consultation-liaison psychiatrist working across medical wards. Writes about the things patients only say after forty minutes.
Patients
People writing about their own illness, in their own words and under a name of their choosing.
Two Lines
Four years of trying, three rounds of IVF. Writing under a pen name because some of this is not only mine to tell.
Elena V.
Four years on haemodialysis, three of them while working full time. Waiting list, year two.
The Night Shift Mum
My daughter was born at twenty-nine weeks and spent ninety-one days in intensive care. She is four and extremely loud.
J.
Type 1 since I was nine. Twenty-six now. I have had roughly forty thousand injections and about four useful conversations.
Marguerite
Fifty-four. Librarian. Had a mastectomy two years ago. Writing because I could not find the thing I needed to read at the time.
