@nishanne_jacob @HsiaoMarvin This is a tricky issue - but one option night be to have a more generic start to Med school (graduate entry/pre-med) with a “qualifier” built in. Would also assist students themselves who really have no idea what they’re letting themselves in for.

[Peter Raubenheimer @PeterRaubs]

@HsiaoMarvin Good idea - I was amazed at how it hallucinates references.
And your students are already using it - every single one is.

@ygpillay Prioritisation of services remains critical ( and yes - preventative >>> curative care)

[Peter Raubenheimer @PeterRaubs]

@ygpillay Is there data on that? An equally likely scenario ( that has some data in well resourced systems) is that need for specialised care and hospitals increases when primary care services improve.

@AdeAdamson @ARCS_Atlanta Screening/incidental findings do not equate to better outcomes .

@GSHEndocrine screening for hyperaldosteronism should be based on at least two tests: Intraindividual variability of serum aldosterone and its implication for primary aldosteronism screening https://t.co/zPCeIDjhWX

Chatting to the @PHUDiabetesTeam in charge of the #ClosedLoop patients- part of @NHSEngland real world data evaluation for @NICEComms

20 odd patients- and at nearly a year- an average drop of around 20 mmol/mol...

Twenty...!😀

That is...impressive. No?

STRONG HF changes everything we do after admission for HF. I mean EVERYTHING!

Look at how they did it> More not less care.

How are we going to do this? #aha22

[Peter Raubenheimer @PeterRaubs]

The world, and healthcare itself, really does require a reset - of priorities and expectations. What do we want, given what we can afford? And what should we stop doing? And we'd better have these conversations every day now or all of us are going to remain very unsatisfied!

Feels like tough times in SA Public Health system: but we are not alone.

OR...is this just as has been predicted for many years now because of an unsustainable trajectory of healthcare spending..driven by the market forces and increasing inequality in the world we live in?
