@DrTashY @RACGP Yep - Got home at 8.15 last night because of just this...

@ThePhillipHolz @EdKrassen “Thou shalt not Kill.” God. (Exodus 20:13)
Guns did not exist before God said this! Gun ownership cannot be a god-given right.

@CollinRugg @j6prayingrandma “They” are the DoJ and the police upholding the law as it has been proclaimed by your Congress and interpreted by the courts. Am I not right that there is a separation of powers? Biden couldn’t interfere if he tried.

[Geoffrey Mitchell @GeoffM_GP]

@Raldi616 @EdKrassen Wasn’t that because more people voted in 2020 than ever before? Why? Was it was not to prevent the farce of government they had just experienced in 2016-20? The millions of people who died by COVID needlessly? Policy setting by tweet?
If you want the context that’s it.

Add the benefits to social and psychological wellbeing, and you have an overwhelming argument for early recognition and prompt access to treatment.

@miffyjayne Many have decided enough is enough. Most have not gone as far as your GP, but have made different decisions on how to respond.

[Geoffrey Mitchell @GeoffM_GP]

@miffyjayne I hope those who read it pause and think. That’s all I ask.
I agree that the variation between GPs is a problem. But what’s the cause?
It’s as I said.
The Medicare rebate is not a measure of what we are or what we do. We are sick of being told that it is./2

[Geoffrey Mitchell @GeoffM_GP]

@miffyjayne /2. We ARE specialists. What we do matters and we make decisions that maintain your health, identify that thing that might just kill you, prevent you from you from getting things like that, support you when your spouse deserts you, and may well be caring just like that for /3

[Geoffrey Mitchell @GeoffM_GP]

@miffyjayne I’m torn about this. I agree the money this GP is charging is over the top. However as a GP whose rebates were frozen for 5years, it felt like our worth and community standing have been frozen as well. And many colleagues are sick of that. /2

[Geoffrey Mitchell @GeoffM_GP]

@EdKrassen You can be more willing to trust and bond. Where did it all go so wrong for the USA? So sad.

[Geoffrey Mitchell @GeoffM_GP]

@EdKrassen You are a really sensible guy and I love your posts. But you’re in a culture that is way more dangerous than mine because you have the second amendment.
Imagine a place where you didn’t have to assume everyone you met could be a lethal threat. /3

[Geoffrey Mitchell @GeoffM_GP]

@EdKrassen Ed, I live in Australia where there are strict gun laws. The burglar would 99.99% not have had a gun, so I don’t need one.
We have no second amendment. We also don’t have mass shootings. Imagine that…../1

@troyheff Fantastic news Troy! Our son lives in Oxford and loves it. Enjoy the experience!

@scottamurrayed @TheBHF @BHFScotland @AdvanceCarePlan @mariecurieuk @palliativecare Well done Scott!
