Just had a middle aged male patient point at my (now starting to be obvious) pregnant belly and say “oh someone’s been a bad girl and been kissing boys” 🤢🤮 How is that an appropriate thing to say to any woman, let alone to your doctor?! #WomenInMedicine

I tweeted about strep today. It seems like the feeling of “I have strep” seems to be a common presentation of Omicron. Minimized is the loss of smell and taste from the prior variants. Take a scratchy throat seriously. This is likely your initial presentation of covid

To maintain immunity against COVID-19, get your vaccine booster shot as soon as you are eligible, which in most cases is six months after your second dose.

@drjenlim I feel so seen!

[Josh Trebach, MD @jtrebach]

if you’re at Thanksgiving and someone says their decision to not get vaccinated doesn’t affect anyone else, cut your slice of pie like this to demonstrate how that is very untrue

[Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) President @RACGPPresident]

The pandemic is not over and the vaccine rollout isn't done. We must improve communication with vulnerable patient groups and heed vital lessons from the challenges general practices faced during the rollout this year #COVID19 #vaccine

Actually squeezed in one more bit of #lockdownbaking just before 3-dom day for my big guy 🥰 So great to be able to have all the grandparents here to celebrate!

[Dr Kate @_drkate]

October is #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth.@theage talks to Dr Karen Price (@brookmanknight), president of the @RACGP, who shares her own experience of #breastcancer diagnosis & treatment. A timely reminder to book any missed screenings today. @CancerAustralia https://t.co/OSaYggAqN0

Here's a table comparing NSW cases and vaccinations.

On the left shows % of cases in the past week by age group. Raw numbers population adjusted for fair comparison (so older age groups % not lower due to lower population).

On right shows % fully vaccinated by age group.

Gladys Berejiklian has resigned. Christian Porter remains in federal parliament.

I can’t help but feel there’s one standard for male leaders and a separate one for women.

#MedTwitter #gptwitter can anyone recommend great courses for a GP wanting to upskill in women’s health esp perinatal care, breastfeeding medicine and supporting new mums/bubs? These pts make up huge part of my practice and would love to gain more expertise!

[Dr Kate @_drkate]

@suzannehgg Perfect, thanks for the suggestion!
