@imaanjoshi I have been using Instagram heaps more since Twitter started to change. So I ported to Threads. Makes sense to try it.

I am on threads. This place has been annoying me, so I am actively looking for another platform.

Great podcast with Monash Rural Health staff A/Prof. Bernadette Ward and Dr Pam Harvey calling for a more nuanced approach to rural health in communities

@GongGasGirl So let’s reframe this - are you happy to let more people die of cancer or miss out on knee replacements in Australia so that fewer people die of cholera, tuberculosis, wound infections, or stroke, cardiac and vascular disease in developing nations?

[Lesley Barron MD, MPhil, FRACS @drlesleybarron]

We need less people offering women coaching on their careers (these women are killing it already) and more people offering men with 🚺 partners coaching on how to share household life duties equitably. How to plan a child’s birthday party, etc…

@DrLongissimus @alison_doc Can everyone just quiet down. I need to concentrate

@GongGasGirl I always love how Elon Musk looks like he’s wearing a Star Trek uniform

I’m also gonna say there’s a problem when a nursing home with a dementia care protocol calls the police for this. It sounds like the residence might have been under- or poorly staffed.

[💧Martin Low 🌻 @MartinLow88]

How the hell can you justify tasering a frail confused 95 yo nursing home resident? What a disgrace.

Not every sleep apnoea patient needs a mask. Some need a thyroidectomy!

[Dr Eric Levi @DrEricLevi]

Not every restless sleep is due to obstructive sleep apnoea. There are many causes.

Not every snorer has sleep apnoea.

Literally no one understands something more completely than a woman in a meeting who starts a question with “Just so I understand…”

When someone doesn’t turn up to their evening research interview and you are simultaneously disappointed and relieved #qualresearch #meded

[Tanya @GongGasGirl]

When you elect to be rude to someone else at work, you are electing to diminish their performance by 50 %.

This will harm the patient.

Rude people are a patient safety risk, not heroes.

[Cris Cuthbertson @DrCris]

@drlesleybarron There’s this prevailing idea that rural people live there because they failed in the city. That they would really love to move urban if they got the opportunity #facepalm

[Cris Cuthbertson @DrCris]

I think we will probably end up with better outcomes if we facilitate regional and rural patients accessing more of their healthcare in tertiary centres. That’s probably a better outcome for all.

For those who aren’t aware, #DRIVERS23 is a regional/rural research day focussed on research done in or relevant to non-metro areas. Abstracts close 15 June. Conference on September 23 in Bendigo. So excited about this years conference. @MonashRural

[Cris Cuthbertson @DrCris]

So excited to be participating in a #drivers23 incubator session, even if I have to do it online. This excellent program encourages and mentors rural and regional jdocs to create excellent research. @MonashRural

#ccrisp Teaching today. Always fun. Hard to bring answers out rather than teach answers.

[Cris Cuthbertson @DrCris]

One if the worst bits of #qualitativeresearch is coming terms with how much I stutter and stumble. When my interviews are written out, I sound like I am making up speech from scratch #meded

@jenny_a_green I love that
