Today I am starting a new project: My PD-Wii Fit Plus Challenge. The idea is to investigate if a few minutes on the Wii Balance Board in the morning can affect the impact PD (Parkinson’s Disease) has on my life. I will attempt to jump onto the balance board every morning and perform a body…… Continue reading My PD-Wii Fit Plus Challenge

It’s been a number of very busy weeks… to say the least… I now feel like I am through the most hectic parts and look forward to a bit more breathing space. Having said that though, next week’s calendar looks as full as ever, but to quote a very dear friend: “all good stuff!”. I…… Continue reading Long time, no posting…

Dagens Medicins ST-läkardagar 2012-01-26
Min dag gick i föredragens tecken, eftermiddagen tillbringade jag på Filmstaden Sergel där Dagens Medicin bjudit in Mälardalens ST-läkare samt mig att prata på temat “Patient-läkarrelationen, så gör jag läkaren delaktig”.

Sharing is contagious caring, second day at QS2011 Amsterdam
Getting close to the end of the second and last day of QS2011 Amsterdam and it has been truly inspirational, extremely intense and a fantastic experience! Today’s highlights from 1/3 of the Stockholm jury: The lunchtime ignite talks were AMAZING!

First day of QS Europe 2011 in Amsterdam
My first ever day at an unconference and the impressions have been numerous. I love the idea of having the focus of the meeting on the breaks between the presentations, since everybody knows that the really sparking ideas are born over a cup of coffee and some strange looking local speciality (in this case I…… Continue reading First day of QS Europe 2011 in Amsterdam
