@GPDrYvetteDoc @Dr_Ellie Similar status here in New Zealand but not quite as far down the track… sad eh??

@drkeithsiau @ReEzz007 I don’t know any of their “ friends “

@drkeithsiau Called a “ whitlow” back in the day 🙂. Very painful to treat with cryo!

[Alan Wright @WrightDoctor]

Build you up and knock ya down… patients eh? Who needs ‘em? 😀

One of my friends & family survey answers(anon)
"A lovely little surgery with wonderful staff who go the extra mile for you. The surgery is really let done by the drab decor of the waiting room & the awful pictures on the walls, it's so depressing"

Anyone for a paint party?

@drkeithsiau “No room for bile here, find your own bag!”

[Alan Wright @WrightDoctor]

@drkeithsiau Bet the patient loved you doing this?! 😂

@kiityc @DrBenLovell @RoshanaMN Ignore the JVP at your peril… not all of us work in centres of excellence where blood tests and scans are available. It has saved a few patients in my lifetime ( but I am very old…. relatively speaking)

[Alan Wright @WrightDoctor]

No-one even close to that skill level today 🙂

🚨 On this day, 20 years ago, Ronaldinho, the man who made a whole generation of football fans fall in love with the beautiful game, signed for Barcelona. ❤️

To celebrate, we created a thread of his best moments for the club. Sit back and enjoy. This one was fun. 🙌🍿🧵

And in the same vein, any doctor who has not had a complaint against them is not trying hard enough

I’ve given the PE case some thought. One of the main diagnostic take homes I’ve taken from two years of doctoring, is that PE is one of the most humbling diagnoses out there. Anyone who says they’ve never made a mistake in medicine is either lying or mistaken.

@GPDrYvetteDoc @ArcticMonkeys @DrAmirKhanGP @Parody_RCGP @DrNeenaJha @DrLucyHenshall @Lageraemia @DrPeterWeeks1 @AlisonGeorge10 @dave_dlt @DrSelvarajah Don’t even want to imagine what that’s holding back 😱

@LondonAllergy I say to all my patients “ when you spray up your nose, look at your toes” that automatically directs the spray along the nasal passage and not to the top ( which is what hapywhen you extend your neck)

Add a third option… who cares? 🙂

[Hilary Barry @Hilary_Barry]

Unisex toilet. Should the user leave the toilet seat up or down?

[Alan Wright @WrightDoctor]

And yet you still refuse to give pay parity to GP based nurses…. nice touch!

[Ayesha Verrall @drayeshaverrall]

First as a doctor and now as Health Minister, I’ve had the opportunity to see the value, expertise and care nurses provide every day. Nurses stand at the heart of our health system, and for that I sincerely thank them #InternationalNursesDay2023

[Alan Wright @WrightDoctor]

Except for GP practice nurses… as usual!

[Ayesha Verrall @drayeshaverrall]

As of this month nurses here and in Australia receive the same base salaries @jacktame

Sometimes General Practice is
wonderful 😊
Seeing a baby for their 6-8 week check & by coincidence their great grandparent is in after for their chronic disease check up!
Makes it all worthwhile 👍
Family practice, single handed, small surgery-multigenerational !

@fullers360 thanks for nearly ruining my wife’s 60th birthday surprise on Easter Monday by canceling our booked tour 5 days before the day. Did Easter catch you by surprise? It comes around every year you know… and btw the wineries were open!!
