SIXTY women killed in Australia so far this year, on average one every 4 days. And not one killed by a trans woman, terrorist, refugee in detention or any of the other bogeymen in mass media.

It's the men in our lives, in our homes. #DomesticViolence 💔

I called 5 pharmacies in a regional town to source MS-2Step for a vulnerable patient today. She travelled over 150km to see me.

Her GP said no.
2 pharmacies wouldn’t order it in.

Seems there is still a way to go for Australian women to access essential services. #MedTwitter

"No leaves us nowhere. Yes breathes in new air. That's why I'm voting Yes." - As he so often does, @paulkelly words it beautifully and perfectly. ❤️

Pregnancy Loss & Infant Death: I'm undertaking some scoping for piece of work on support (or lack thereof) for pregnancy loss & infant death in regional & remote areas of Australia. If you have knowledge / resources you wish to share I'd love to hear from you. <3

The non-5 year old version of why we shouldn't use understand in a learning objective is also quite good.

[DR. ＶＩＪＩ ＳＡＴＨＹ @vijisathy]

I asked chatGPT to explain to me like I am 5 years old why "understand" shouldn't be used in a learning objective.

On a whole-day work meeting where I don’t have to type much and it’s mostly a big group discussion. So I took a page out of @GreyLiterature’s book and decided to embroider. It has worked really well for me so far

Three days ago, a 15-yr old boy had an anxiety attack in the school bathroom to hide from his bullies and struggling grades.

His “guidance” counselor pulled him into a room alone and told him to power thru and stop saying he was suicidal for attention even tho he was crying so hard the capillaries in his face were broken. Fun fact: the boy has never been in trouble nor has said this before.

The boy is now in the hospital an hour away from his family due to a real attempt to leave this world.

Because the school would not listen all year nor accommodate his mother’s requests for help and a 504 plan, he felt he had no hope and could not face another day.

The boy is my son. And I’m so angry at the GC in his school I’m frozen. They’re now complying to help with classes and gave him a new counselor.

These new accommodations are not enough. Our story isn’t rare. Schools need to wake up and make some real changes.

[Angela Brandenburg @angebrandenburg]

@DesideriaMesa I am so sorry Desi. Sending love to you and your boy. <3

@EM_RESUS I am a paediatric emergency physician working in Australia.

I have NEVER seen a gunshot wound in a child, and have not seen a gunshot wound in anyone for over 20 years.

This cause of death is the result of "choices" by politicians and the people they represent.
