@DrPayItBack Go into women's health & take every patient seriously. Same with chronic pain. Listen & believe your patients & you'll be a rare gem, a unicorn, a treasure discussed & marveled over in chronic illness forums.

[Dr Kirsten Connan @TassieObGyn]

@KarenMagraith @LiangRhea @Nishaobgyn @RNDrive Yes.. same issues.
A persistent pelvic pain consult takes at least 45-60mins. Add complex trauma - 90 mins. Rebate $80.10. Physicians get $238.30.
An IUD isn’t allowed under GA for most health fund due a woman’s choice. We have to provide some other reason.. list goes on

[Rhea Liang @LiangRhea]

'Why does endometrosis take seven years on average to diagnose in Australia?'

Because devoted specialists want to... but go out of business if it comprises too many of their consults, because the rebate is miniscule. Medicare gender inequity needs to end.

There is NOTHING to lose by voting YES

Everything to gain for our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people

Nothing to FEAR from simple ADVICE

Giving a VOICE to those who need it is a simple choice

#VoteYES

Don’t know about anybody else…

..but if I saw Rupert Murdoch, Clive Palmer, Ralph Babet, Pauline Hanson, Gerard Rennick, Matt Canavan, Gina Rinehart, Tony Abbott, Lyle Shelton & Warren Mundine.. all supporting the same thing..

I’d be inclined NOT to support that same thing 🙄

I just heard the #AFLGF Welcome to Country APPLAUDED by the massive crowd when announced, RECEIVED in respectful silence, AND LOUDLY APPLAUDED AT THE END.

Love you Melbourne! Fuck you, Sam! 🖤💛❤️ #auspol #VoteYes #Yes23 #Voice

Veteran journalist Kerry O'Brien on The Voice referendum:
“If this fails, we are a failure as a nation... gullible, uninformed and ultimately stupid.”

[Dr Eric Levi @DrEricLevi]

Accurate.

On October 14 2023, I'll be voting yes.

And if you're voting yes, it's time to let people know.

[Craig Foster @Craig_Foster]

You are aware @KensingtonRoyal that @TheMatildas were also playing for 3rd, right?

And that we’re one of the ‘realms’ asked to ‘cry out our allegiance’ to your old man, his heirs & successors ie you?

🤦‍♂️

Not much allegiance in return, clearly.

[Samantha Lewis @battledinosaur]

a Deakin University survey has estimated that 17.15 million people tuned into #AUSENG cumulatively across Channel 7, Optus Sport, venues, and live-sites.

that's approx 64% of the entire Australian population. the biggest television event not just in sport, but in history.

Roger Kerr was born in Calcutta, India.

He played AFL for East Freemantle, Port Adelaide and Perth. His son, Daniel Kerr, played football for the West Coast Eagles.

His daughter Sam is the GOAT!!

This’ll be an overly sentimental tweet. But fuck it was nice to all enjoy something together, wasn’t it? A feeling of community we shouldn’t take for granted. For a few weeks we all just loved the Tillies together and it was simple and beautiful. Long may it continue.

I’ve been writing about endometriosis for eight years, and I can honestly say this is the first time I’ve written with something resembling hope >> ‘It’s really only the beginning’: are we on the cusp of a breakthrough in endometriosis? https://t.co/VG8wbEha35

It takes literally seconds to call a telephone interpreter. You can get them on your mobile.

How can anyone feel they've done a satisfactory job communicating to a patient with limited English about complex medical discussions without one is beyond me.
