South Australia is getting a Chief Paramedic Officer #CPO SA Health has begun final implementation, with the role to sit alongside the state’s other Chief Clinical Officers. SA joins Victoria & the NT. A welcome step for #patients in mobilising the #paramedicine profession.

NSW Ambulance is recruiting a #CEO. But the advertisement says they will also be the Chief Paramedic Officer #CPO - an implication they represent the profession. That's conflicted recognition without substance. https://t.co/53QHVVstFI

Urgent care continues to expand across Victoria, with Urgent Care Paramedics starting to play a role in these settings.

Over the last few weeks, I have been onboarding into one of these roles with the ForHealthGroup at the Carlton Clinic within Inner Melbourne.

I have really enjoying getting stuck in alongside an awesome multi-disciplinary team of nurses and Doctors and taking care of patients in this setting.

I’m looking forward to seeing how the role grows and how it continues to integrate into patients care needs to support the UPCC models!

This article should be mandatory reading for every medical student, PhD candidate, researcher—and honestly, for anyone who mistakes expertise for certainty.

“The importance of stupidity in scientific research” sounds provocative, almost offensive. But Martin Schwartz is not glorifying incompetence. He is describing the real operating system of discovery.

Science is not built on knowing.
Science is built on tolerating not knowing.
That distinction matters.

Most of education rewards correctness.
School teaches us to answer.
Exams reward speed, certainty, and precision.
You feel intelligent when you get things right.

Research is the opposite.
Real research begins exactly where competence ends—at the frontier where nobody knows the answer, including the people you thought must know.
That moment is psychologically brutal.
You ask the expert.
The expert shrugs.
You assume you’re missing something.
Then you realize: no—this is the work.

You are not failing.
You are standing at the actual boundary of knowledge.

That feeling—“I must be stupid”—is often not a sign of inadequacy.
It is often the first sign that you are finally asking an important question.

Medicine struggles with this.

We train doctors to avoid uncertainty, to fear being wrong, to perform confidence.
But the best clinicians and the best scientists know how to sit inside ambiguity without collapsing into fake certainty.
This is why AI in medicine also deserves caution.
Systems trained only to reproduce established answers may become extraordinarily good at passing exams while being terrible at discovering what matters next.
Guideline intelligence is not the same as scientific intelligence.
Discovery requires productive stupidity:
the willingness to stay with the uncomfortable,
to look ignorant,
to ask naïve questions,
to be wrong repeatedly without protecting your ego.

Most people want the authority of expertise.
Very few want the humiliation required to earn it.
But progress lives there.

Not in certainty.
Not in performance.
Not in sounding smart.
In the quiet discipline of saying:
“I don’t know… yet.”

And continuing anyway.

@jamie_wallis @ShivaniM_KC I just don’t know how you know this about paramedic training or the epidemiology of the paramedic caseload

[Tim @TimEdwards76]

@jamie_wallis @ShivaniM_KC I’m just interested how you know that about paramedic education and why they are less equipped than other practitioners with appropriate training to perform these roles

[Tim @TimEdwards76]

@jamie_wallis @ShivaniM_KC Definite variation in models for employment of paramedics in primary care but why specifically is a paramedic Poundland medicine ?
