Hi, I’m Julian.
Broadly, this is a personal space where I explore topics that interest me and are adjacent to Emergency Medicine. These range across clinical topics that I’ve identified as learning gaps, concepts from other fields, and anything that captures my attention. There is no fixed schedule, and I mostly write and publish for myself, when I feel compelled to do so, as a way of learning and archiving.
Why ‘Stronger Medicine’?
I made this website back in 2019.
At that time I was interested in exploring the gap between medicine and physical culture/strength training. I’m still interested in this space, but since then my focus has changed a bit. I still quite like the name and besides, I need a web address!
What’s the point in this website?
Sitting down to think about something, write it out, then publish it, is a process that mainly helps me to organise my thoughts. I’ve found keeping a record of clinical topics, conversations, ideas etc to be very useful to look back on, and it transforms obscure inklings into more concrete entities. Having it public means I also sometimes hear from interesting people out there who I otherwise wouldn’t know of.
I generally write about things in my job that have given me pause for thought, such as aspects of a case that highlight a knowledge gap. Apart from medicine, I sometimes write about other things I’m interested when I have the time/inclination.
