@ING_Aust Wow. Waiting a further 45 minutes on hold to unblock a credit card, that I said I was using at that very moment. How to leave a customer stranded!

@KBKAlThani A simple urine test would have shown a positive bHCG/pregnancy so soon after delivery of a child. Qatari Doctors and Nurses should know this much! Please employ better medics. What was done was rape. An apology should place all solo women travellers in first class Dear Qatar.

@JohnnyMercerUK The UK veterans need a Vet card with access to healthcare like the Australian system. Veterans deserve a priority healthcare system, it’s the least thanks we can give.

@NuffieldTrust @DrLKVaughan 1/n Let's grab a cuppa and chew over this. First off, patients in emergency departments are experiencing very long stays, at a scale that is much worse than we've ever seen. There were more 12 hour (from decision to admit) waits in Sept 22 than ever before.

Waiting for this to show up in a crowded NHS Emergency Department …again! More fun times.

@cliffreid That definitely happened! English Country Dancing in vests, pants and bare feet!

Medicine is the only profession where when the canary in the coal mine dies, people just ask:
"Why can't we find more resilient canaries?"

Nicely summarised.

Recognise compassion failure? … it’s a key symptom of burn out! Perhaps it’s happening earlier in training than we think?

[Gavin Preston, M.D. @GavinPrestonMD]

I've taught the doctor-patient relationship for decades.
While we can teach comm skills,
please just give me a student with compassion!

You're not competent because you have years of experience.

You're competent because you can use your years of experience, be open to new suggestions, and adapt to improve your practice.

Experience ≠ competence.

@LiamThorl Weather looks great!

[Expedition Medic @MedicExpo]

@9NewsAUS except that shocking Covid advert is exactly what it looks like when a patient can’t breathe and the ventilators aren’t available. Not all of NSW has great access to hospitals in the first place. Wear masks, follow the bloody rules… get vaccinated.

@cookmick2002 @brendt_p @RoyalFlyingDoc @annecreaton @NSWAmbulance @EMSpics RFDS.. the SIM continues. BP or breathing first?

Fascinating talk on concussion in motorsport. Question is, should we in EM be thinking concussion in RTC? Lets watch Naomi, BTCC and TOCA closely. This is interesting stuff! #CareinMotorsport https://t.co/6MORMrBu77
