GROSS BUT TRUE #26

That sunburn isn’t just uncomfortable. It’s your body dealing with real damage.

UV radiation damages the DNA in your skin cells. When the damage is too severe, those cells shut down and die to prevent them turning cancerous. Your body then clears them away, which is why your skin peels.

Look after your skin. Slip, slop, slap still matters more than you think.

If you’ve got severe sunburn, blistering, or feel unwell, get it checked.

But vitamins, herbs, and over-the-counter products can affect your medications and test results.

Knowing everything you’re taking helps us keep your care safe and accurate.

Recently, TSAJ owners, Dr David Yates and Kylie Yates, along with Practice Manager Scott Weaire and his fiancé Stephen, attended Wankernomics — a comedy show dedicated to decoding workplace jargon, pointless meetings, LinkedIn buzzwords, and corporate nonsense.

As a privately-owned general practice, we spend a lot of time talking about culture, communication, leadership, systems, and teamwork — so seeing the corporate world lovingly roasted for 90 minutes was equal parts hilarious and mildly confronting.

Unfortunately, the impact on TSAJ culture was immediate.

At our next Whole Of Practice meeting, staff were enthusiastically trying to “circle back”, “take a deep dive”, “align stakeholder expectations”, and “action low-hanging fruit” wherever comedically possible.

As a practice sitting on the Canberra border, there may have been slightly too much public servant energy in the room 😅

A genuinely brilliant night out and painfully relatable for anyone who has ever survived a workplace meeting that could have been an email.

Happy 60th birthday to our Practice Principal, Dr David Yates 🎂

Today, the TSAJ family decorated Dr Yates’ consult room and surprised him with cake during our lunchtime meeting.

For many of our patients, Dr Yates has been part of their lives for years — and in some cases, generations of the same family.

Thank you for your ongoing care, leadership, terrible cricket stories, and dedication to the TSAJ community.

And yes… remarkable effort considering how young his wife is 😉

Happy birthday, Dr David!

💜 Today is World IBD Day.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) includes conditions such as Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis.

These are chronic inflammatory conditions that can affect more than just the digestive system. Fatigue, pain, weight loss, urgency, anxiety and unpredictable flare-ups can have a major impact on daily life, work, study and mental health.

Many people living with IBD “look well” on the outside while managing significant symptoms behind the scenes.

World IBD Day helps raise awareness, reduce stigma, and remind people they are not alone. 💜

If you have ongoing symptoms such as abdominal pain, persistent diarrhoea, blood in the stool, unexplained weight loss or ongoing fatigue, speak with your GP.
