About This Site
"Don't eat the marshmallow." — Inspired by the Stanford Marshmallow Experiment, this site is built on the philosophy of delayed gratification applied to medicine, money, and wellbeing.
Who's Behind This?
An emergency department registrar based in Australia, working across metro and regional hospitals. After years of night shifts, ward calls, and navigating the financial maze of junior doctor life, this site was created to share the practical lessons that textbooks and orientation weeks don't cover.
Why This Exists
Junior doctors in Australia face a unique set of challenges: complex roster systems, salary packaging that nobody explains properly, burnout rates exceeding 70%, and clinical scenarios that test you at 2am when the consultant is asleep. This site brings together clinical pearls, financial strategies, case-based learning, and practical tools — all in one place, by someone who's living it.
The Four Pillars
Ward tips, on-call survival, evidence-based pearls.
Salary packaging, tax deductions, budgeting, investing basics.
Educational analysis of public coroner's findings, AHPRA decisions, and malpractice cases.
Roster converters, finance dashboards, and productivity apps for doctor life.
