It was pretty average in the city today, but I didn't notice any impact on breathing, just visibility and smell.

The Australian 1 day team is playing India in Mumbai at the moment, the air quality seems to have improved slightly as the game's gone on but is generally shite http://aqicn.org/map/mumbai/

Those things make me feel ok about not being around in 50 years. Or at least, less not ok with it.

Busy, busy, busy in the Emergency Department last night / afternoon / evening as per usual.

One guy brought in by Police was obviously substance affected. After I introduced myself ( just to get a picture & release the Police) I asked him how much ice he’d used. He said 6 points in 2 days as well as some MDMA earlier in the day FFS. ( One point = 0.1 of a gram - usually enough for 1-2 days)

Discharged today after some sedation & he’ll bounce back in the near future depending on how much he uses again

( the same applies to alcoholics / alcohol abusers)

^ It's getting a bit that way, isn't it? I saw something the other day that basically could have been a Daily Mail headline (something about the bloody royals, probably). Really need to wean myself off it, but there aren't too many other obvious options, unfortunately.
