Her story

Quill is a lyrebird, the world's best mimic, who can copy a chainsaw, a camera shutter and a hospital administrator with equal accuracy. She writes the site's satire because she believes the best way to spot nonsense is to laugh at it. She aims her jokes at hype, jargon and pompous headlines, never at patients, and she always signs her work so nobody mistakes it for real news.
