A process that started with a cold-call from a mystery number quickly turned into a full @healthgovau review, which the impacted GP says has had a profound impact on his clinical practice – and his patients. https://t.co/XWS2fERbwD

Dr @nick_coatsworth is planning to personally operate every single one of those ventilators.

Sources say that he’s cloned himself 3000 times, all genetically modified to be resistant to all respiratory 🦠.

The next phase in Australia’s battle in this pandemic 🤪😂!

[Paula Leach @drPLeach]

And who operates the ventilators? And looks after the patients? Because I’m telling you now, you don’t want someone like me doing it

[The General Practitioner @TheAustralianGP]

Liberals launched a Royal Commission into whether the @chaser attempted to assassinate @DanielAndrewsMP on March 9.

Ambulance Victoria issued a formal statement that reading the Chaser article on your phone while running downstairs caused the “accident”.

@GregHuntMP just cut access to a swath of GP MBS funding

These are items that has provided funding for many Australians in the past year, but most for those:
- In remote/rural area
- With socio-economic disadvantage
- With difficulty leaving the house (e.g. with disability)

[The Chaser @chaser]

Doctors warn hospitals may run out of beds by the end of the week if the current rate of government MPs taking medical leave continues

[Stephen Parnis @SParnis]

I don't know what to make of this, but it feels like those booing were giving the finger to those who put themselves in harm's way to care for the sick, stack supermarket shelves & provide essential services at a time of serious risk. I hope I'm wrong. #COVID19Aus #auspol

@drvyom I have done you a new profile pic....It could feature in the new Pfizer 5G ads 😹and include a Liberal logo.

[The General Practitioner @TheAustralianGP]

@DanielAndrewsMP, I owe you one, buddy 😉

@DrPStewart @hayleymagill *Raises Eyebrows*

ED Discharge Summary:

Diagnosis: Abdominal Pain - Other

“Patient discharged with a box of Oxycodone - GP to follow up on Monday”

1. What is this magic?

2. Why is it not number 1?

Come on, Victoria - let’s get your game up and stream / request this song some more!

[Dan Andrews @DanielAndrewsMP]

Two things are clear:

1. Now that a politician has made the Hottest 100, it is no longer hot. Sorry about that.
2. It's officially time to get on the beers.

Congrats @mashdnkutcher - I look forward to our next ‘collaboration’.

[The General Practitioner @TheAustralianGP]

Oh no... what am I going to do for entertainment now? 🥺😩

[The General Practitioner @TheAustralianGP]

Next time, I'll tell the distressed suicidal teenager that his 15 minutes is up and I'll need to listen to his problems some other time.

And the lady having asthma attack needs to sit unsupervised elsewhere for an ambulance, because Mr Carlton here has a fragile ego.

[Mike Carlton @MikeCarlton01]

@KArandjelovic Not nasty at all. I waited 45 minutes for my GP today. Meant I could not meet my child after school as arranged. Not a word of explanation - he’s a bit late, I’m sorry - not a word of apology. Get it ?

[The General Practitioner @TheAustralianGP]

So the Chair of ICEG @Stopinfection is now Australia's Trump wanna-be.

She's learnt from his play-book.

Of course, it's NEVER her "expert group" recommendations, which was taken as gospel by the government, to deny resources to HCWs that killed many of us, it's OUR FAULT!

[Benjamin Veness @venessb]

Chair of the Infection Control Expert Group says Australia’s lower PPE standards compared to US, Europe and Asia are not to blame for thousands of healthcare worker #COVID19 infections.

In my opinion this attitude leaves our staff and patients at unacceptably high risk.

[The General Practitioner @TheAustralianGP]

Hi @chaser, try claiming that you won the US election by 70 million votes or that you beat the Coronavirus pandemic or something 😉

I mean, they gave the guy who claimed those his blue tick 🤷

[The Chaser @chaser]

The Chaser did nothing wrong and should get their tick back

New patient: "It's all there in my records, Doc. Why are you asking me all these silly questions?"

Me: "My apologies. Give me a moment while I plug my brain into the cyber overlord and download your information. Would you like a cuppa while you wait?"

“Hello sir, I’m an ophthalmologist filling in for the depleted ICU staff today. Please point to where on your body disease is happening”

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

So ridiculous. Donald must work on his Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Donald, Chill!

[The General Practitioner @TheAustralianGP]

A lot better than YOUR home country!

Mongolia's economy is predicted to lose 0.5% this year while @realDonaldTrump is predicted to smash all records and lose a whopping 6.1%

But then, Americans seem to not care that his businesses went bankrupt SIX TIMES 🤷

#trumeconomics #WTF

[Todd Cameron @TcameronTodd]

Predictable outcomes
Feds have:
⬇️IMGs
Frozen MBS rebates for 9 years
Never indexed Practice Incentives
Reduce GP access to MBS item numbers regularly
Etc
So you can expect
✅⬆️Out of pocket fees for GP
✅Rising health inequalities in Oz
