#4 Blogging - Conscious Incompetence

Heard a terrific interview on Radio National last week with Richard Aedy interviewing a surgeon called Mohamed Khadra about his new book based on his experiences "healing with steel". He talks about his first experience cutting into somebody with a scalpel and how basically he stuffed up. As he says it was a case of moving from "unconscious incompetence to conscious incompetence". In other words you suddenly realise that it's all a lot harder than it looks and that perhaps you don't know it all after all. Sort of feeling that way at the moment about L2.0 - but this is good. As they say in the classics..... "It's all shiny".

The link to the "Life Matters" program is here.


The book is called "Making the cut: a surgeon's memoir of life on the edge" by Mohamed Khadra.
And yes it is available in your local library soon.
