He had entered medical practice at the height of the eugenics movement in the early twentieth century, when standard medical practice offered no specialized care for premature babies.

Today I realised that I wrote an #introduction for my cat before I wrote one for myself, so here goes:

Hi all! 👋🏻

I’m Charlotte, based in Midlands, UK.
I’m a #nurse and usually work in #neonatal intensive care, caring for sick and premature babies and their families. As stressful as it can sometimes be, I can say hand-on-heart I’m one of those people who genuinely loves their job.

However I’m currently on maternity leave as I recently had my own baby daughter in May.

So not an intro per say, but a general cat intro/welcome to my hobby. I foster cats and kittens for Austin Pets Alive. I specialize in medical and hospice (#pawspice) #FosterCats, and #neonatal #kittens. I’m pretty upfront about day to day operations, and that’s some of the appeal. You see good days and rough ones. Currently I’ve also got a rogue #FosterDog. That’s been interesting. I’m going to kind of dive in and just roll with current population and status. Holler if you have qs
