All Adult EDs in Adelaide are critically overcrowded (>125% of their capacity)!

This dangerous situation requires urgent action

A single 25-mg dose of psilocybin was more effective than a 1-mg dose at alleviating treatment-resistant depression over a period of 3 weeks. The effect was attenuated at 12 weeks. https://t.co/sM1mISArvb

@drmedmonds @preexcitation13 Well, I’m told the cloaca has an immune function…..

The system Australia is trying to emulate?

[Shaun Lintern @ShaunLintern]

BREAKING: All hospitals in England told to take "immediate steps" to find extra space for patients so that no ambulance waits longer than 30mins. This must be done despite the extra burden on hospital staff, say NHS chiefs.

[Nobody @bhanders]

Let’s be clear… that’s 53 admitted patients at 8am on a Monday in an ED… which has a 65 bed capacity… how are we supposed to be emergency physicians and nurses in these conditions? #ifnotusthenwho #belikeus

[Stefan Mazur @MazurStef]

Except somewhat sadly this is not even considered extraordinary anymore, this is called “the ED after the weekend” and is entirely predictable

[ACEM President @ACEMPresident]

Whole-of-system planning is required to face this wave and move beyond.

Patients want to give up their hospital beds – politicians need to help them do it https://t.co/XZ7ktfzQg3

Only 3 months ago - that was an optimistic prediction. We still need improved GP and community resources that were called for to manage this

“At the height of the surge, we’re looking at something like 4000 (active) cases here in South Australia. That is of course a number that would completely overwhelm any health system, so we need to get on and we need to plan for how the health system is going to manage that.”

If you're treating OA pain with opioids, take a good look at this image. Or just read the concluding sentence.

If you think the restrictions or getting vaccinated is hard, imagine being a patient or a HCW turning up to hospital and seeing this. This is what we are facing in parts of Melbourne at present. #COVID19Vic

The serious shortfalls in our COVID response give me no confidence our hospitals will cope https://t.co/IWyQTPcKpl

Katie Hopkins being dumped from a reality tv show for breaking COVID restrictions and not for being a massive fucking racist is literally the most Australian thing imaginable
