My #MedBikini because there's nothing unprofessional about a backyard swim, but also my Mardi Gras look because there's nothing unprofessional about queerness. Let's fight back against 'professional standards' as a tool for dismissal of those already disempowered within medicine

@marquisdesuede @onionweigher Yeah it still works even if you're born there

@BeltsByDan @kylefletcherpro Such a gorgeous belt! I was at Grand Slam where Kyle unveiled this, such a special moment

@JunkyardAkiyama Unfortunately they really dropped the ball on local advertising in the months and weeks leading up to the event. MJF on morning TV a day or two before is too little too late. There's plenty of superb local talent and good audience numbers at indie promotions - the audience exists

@AgustinArcas98 @AEW @AndradeElIdolo She's an indie wrestler in Melbourne and was in a ROH match earlier in the night

@aldamokm @AEW @AndradeElIdolo Aysha wrestles for an indie promotion in Melbourne and was in a ROH match earlier in the night

[Emery Excell @ExcellEmery]

@supermohsenaew @AEW @AndradeElIdolo Her name is Aysha, she wrestles in Melbourne with Renegades of Wrestling and had a ROH match earlier on in the night

@Peps_Wrestling The girl is Aysha, she's a wrestler for Renegades in Melbourne and had an ROH match earlier in the night

@nibmoss At least in Australia, the cervical screening test has replaced the Pap smear. Because it's testing for high-risk HPV strains and not abnormal cervical cells, you don't need to sample the entire cervix and hence we now have the option to self-collect a sample in Australia

@makennarhicks If you're doing reformer pilates, you can set the springs to very high resistances that can actually help you build more strength in your end range of motion than lifting weights. It's about being informed and deliberate about what you're doing and why

@jeremyjudkins_ And received follow-up calls in the weeks afterwards so we had the opportunity to ask further questions and attend a yearly memorial service for donors. For me and the rest of the family it was a bright spot in the middle of the worst week of our lives and I'm very thankful

[Emery Excell @ExcellEmery]

@jeremyjudkins_ Amount of time with him once his heart and breathing stopped and this occurred in the ICU. We said goodbye to him at the door of the OR and were not present after that point. We were provided with de-personalised information about where his donated tissues had been used for

Well when you put it like that...*

@Brocklesnitch Thank you so much for writing this Bec, fatphobia is so destructive and heartbreaking. It took me 10 years to get diagnosed with EDS because doctors insisted I just needed to lose weight for my hips to stop hurting (one said this even when my BMI classed me as underweight)

[Emery Excell @ExcellEmery]

@StrewthQueen The ridiculously high costs also mean that it's very difficult to qualify for them. My dad had Crohn's disease and his immunosuppression meant that he was developing skin cancers, but he had to jump through so many hoops to qualify for more targeted immunosuppression

[Emery Excell @ExcellEmery]

@skinnyprinsess @Luv2Hailee I have a friend with an autistic child who had severe ARFID and became dangerously underweight. They got help and treatment at the local hospital and now her child is gaining weight and excited about food. It's so important to get help and support so you can support your child

Building a statue of a protester with chains and then making protesting with chains illegal 18 months later is some Utopia level plot line

@ChicknDiddy @AdamBandt From the Department of Health's Medical Cost Finder, 66% of patients in 2022-23 faced out-of-pocket costs for IUD insertion, with the typical cost being $230. Given they last 5-10 years they're a really cost-effective option but the upfront cost is prohibitive for many people

“people who are terminally ill shouldn’t have to suffer” and “under capitalism and austerity with next to no social supports, crumbling healthcare and constant vitriol about “people who don’t contribute” euthanasia can/will be used as a culling tool” are both true at once

His chance of survival. I hope that on the worst day of your life, you can quickly get help from qualified and compassionate professionals without worrying about whether you can afford it and whether they're trying to profit from your personal tragedy.

On the 16th of May I came home to find my previously healthy partner of 10 years on the floor of his bedroom, having suffered a catastrophic stroke. Several ambulances attended and treated him with respect and dignity as they assessed him and carried him downstairs, despite him

Ambulance Victoria has recorded an operating loss of $26m for 2023/24 - a loss of $500,000 every week for the year. #springst

[Emery Excell @ExcellEmery]

The ambos did an incredible job keeping me calm and updated on what was happening. Whilst my partner ultimately died I'm forever grateful for the ambos taking such good care of both of us, and it brings me a lot of comfort knowing that absolutely everything was done to maximise
