@moviefeminist @Sacha118848 @RMatthewsPsych @wesstreeting A Gartland 3 supracondylar fracture springs to mind…

@Uescos @CrossCountryUK Someone once told me that first class is always closest to London. Has helped me a few times to work out which end my carriage is

@DrLKVaughan @QueenslandHeal1 DOI: ED doctor that works in SE QLD/Northern NSW
- Mater (I’m assuming you mean the public hospital not the private next door) is not a major teaching hospital
- it’s not run by Queensland Health
- my partner has worked there as an ICU doc and has never heard of this

@Victoria_Rixon I’d really love to know how you knew there was “no one else waiting”

@selhurstpaw1 @DrHWazir So your son was complaining that ‘staff’ are drinking milk from the staff fridge. Ok.

@ukmat82 @Molly2323232323 @InvCoriolis @cannula_service @Burnt2020 @nhs2tier @Caesarnots96696 @RCoANews But you just said you need supervision at all times. It doesn’t make sense.

@thatsnotmine125 @EISSEM Where are these PAs? I work in Australia and have never seen a PA and never heard of a hospital having them either. As far as I’m aware the whole idea was shut down very quickly by the state governments.

@DrDanMar @RobSetters @CasualtySurgeon @iDrSunny 3 years??? That is not ‘recently’. First line for ank spond is not an MRI. And you can plan physio, what do you think happens to the thousands of pts with back pain who can’t get an MRI just because they’re a Dr??
Would you have signed this request off if an F1 brought it to you?

[Sarah @SarahStoneman]

@Drspider15 @DrDanMar @iDrSunny Seems the issue is with lack of MRI rather than in person appt
Phone consult with GP would be no different
If this pt is Dr and expects special treatment he can identify his own ‘hard neurology’?

[Sarah @SarahStoneman]

@DrDanMar @iDrSunny Playing devils advocate though, how has the MRI result changed your management?
Would you expect a pt who isn’t an MSK radiologist to get an MRI for similar presentation?
Here in Oz (where next day MRI often available even in public system) wouldn’t MRI unless hard neurology

@BenAllenGP @doctor_dru_ I had this problem too. I couldn’t get a mobile phone contract well into my 20s. I didn’t owe anyone a penny - this was the problem

[Sarah @SarahStoneman]

@sharonodea @DigitalJonathan It was part of my Liverpool St - Paddington route when coming home from uni

@Xeon4f145d96s1 You know you can have pneumonia AND a PE right? And that ‘consolidation’ on a CXR might be a pulmonary infarct not pneumonia? Fully support regulation of PAs in practice but this actually doesn’t sound that unreasonable

@Lucie_Cocker @clifford0584 @Crave_Dog @ASTC108 @OrthopodReg @StevenMAlderson @ThomasKilner @rahttled_doc Haha COACHED confused me so much when I got here.

[Sarah @SarahStoneman]

@armyemdoc @CCWearmouth @JoelSymonds999 I’m wondering about the capacity of agitated patients in acute opiate withdrawal to be able to refuse transport to hospital?

[Sarah @SarahStoneman]

@sarajcox That’s a negative Ghostrider, the pattern is full

@lucywriter @CaraLisette In year 8 textiles class we all made skirts; we are all made to stand at the front of the class, have our waists measured and the numbers written on the blackboard where they stayed until the skirts were done several weeks later.

@ian_mcgreevy @MikeyCycling Nice try, but I think that’s a bit of a reach
