“It’s time to pivot our way of teaching and coaching our next generation of medical students”. Excellent presentation to start the Diversity in Orthopaedics Session at #AOANZASM2022

Never seen this angle before and it just floored me

The health system is in shambles. This is a failure of the McGowan Government. It is inexcusable that we have the lowest number of public beds per capita going into COVID despite an eye watering $5.7bill surplus. @LiberalsWA #wapol @TheNationalsWA

[Nas M Abdul @NasMAbdul]

@NeiceGary @LibbyMettam 2/2 When we look at hospital beds per capita, WA has the lowest in the nation. Wouldn’t you expect more for the wealthiest state? These numbers may not be the most up to date as the new ICU extension at RPH has just gone live but gives you the idea!

@NeiceGary @LibbyMettam 1/2 Hi there - to understand this is to understand WHY ambulances ramp. Ambulances ramp because patients cannot get into hospital because ED is full, because there are patients in ED waiting to get an INPATIENT hospital bed. Right now WA has the lowest hospital beds per capita.

A friendly reminder to some (not all) senior drs on #MedTwitter

Medicine as a career has changed

Consider the benefits of uni fees below 9k, heavily subsidised accommodation for F1/F2.

That era has ended + rising living costs

Please don't pull the ladder up for your juniors

Can we stop the myth that abortion is universally traumatizing? I had abortion. The only traumatic thing about it was dealing with protestors outside Planned Parenthood. I have no regrets. I needed no therapy. Residency & med school were far more traumatic than my abortion.

[Nas M Abdul @NasMAbdul]

@mrhenglung @Retired30S @Tony87505461 @LibbyMettam Nope. I discounted your claim “vaccine injuries” account for nearly half of ambulance calls. That is not true and absolutely “made up”. I do not know the details about your friend but hope they get better soon. Try again!

[Nas M Abdul @NasMAbdul]

@Retired30S @mrhenglung @Tony87505461 @LibbyMettam Nah. We don’t have enough nurses to safely look after patients. We don’t have enough beds to get patients into hospital. There are delays getting access to care. We have overworked staff needing to take leave. All real issues I see at work. Not made up stories 💁🏾‍♂️

[Nas M Abdul @NasMAbdul]

@mrhenglung @Retired30S @Tony87505461 @LibbyMettam 😂 I’m confused what you’re trying claim now. How is this related to WA ambulance ramping issue?

[Nas M Abdul @NasMAbdul]

@Retired30S @mrhenglung @Tony87505461 @LibbyMettam Nah. I’m done pandering to the fear mongering. The vast majority resolve without issue. This claim is supported by the literature, not anecdotes. The fringe cases that don’t are rare. They are NOT the reason we have an ambulance ramping crisis in WA.

[Nas M Abdul @NasMAbdul]

@mrhenglung @Tony87505461 @LibbyMettam This sounds like a heart attack, not pericarditis. Not the same thing and again, not an adverse reaction to a vaccine that causes “50% of ambulance calls”. Hope your friend recovers soon!

[Nas M Abdul @NasMAbdul]

@lighthouse2390 @LibbyMettam Acutely, we are also EXTREMELY short staffed to the point where it is dangerous. We do not have enough nursing staff to safely manage every patient in hospital right now.

[Nas M Abdul @NasMAbdul]

@NeiceGary @LibbyMettam Yes but WA is by far the worst off despite our significant budget surplus. Surely all that money needs to do something?

[Nas M Abdul @NasMAbdul]

@lighthouse2390 @LibbyMettam It’s a supply demand issue.
WA needs an extra hospital.

Based on the most recent report, we are short approximately 350 beds.
The 2 new hospitals built (FSH/PCH) did little to alleviate this as they replaced other hospitals/services (PMH/Freo)

[Nas M Abdul @NasMAbdul]

@mrhenglung @Tony87505461 @LibbyMettam Completely false 😂
50% of ambulance calls are not for “vaccine injuries”
No one is covering it up
Pericarditis is a known adverse event that can occur post a vaccine (or after a viral infection). Low numbers with the VAST majority self-resolving.
Quit making things up

There are fewer people in ICU in NSW and Vic atm than there were during either state’s Delta peak, @MarkMcGowanMP
