What do you call it when you sneak a cat onto a hospital roof + hold said cat up to the window so that a patient can see her best friend one last time before she dies? 🤔🐈
I call it the best part of my job 🤷🏻♂️.
Cat was wearing a harness for safety 😁🏥 #hpm#hapc

Barriers to health information
It’s lack of social housing & inequality that’s at fault not the people in those public housing towers, remember that
Melbourne/Victorian outbreak. My phone is running hot with people asking “should we panic”?
My take? Be vigilant, restrained and careful. Not panicked.
Keep your distance, wash your hands, avoid gatherings, keep social contact to the min req for mental health.
Why?👇🏽
This is a big win for everyone who has fought for a more compassionate #AustralianAid budget!
@AustralianLabor’s commitment would mean more children in school, action on gender equality, greater global health and helping our neighbours combat climate change.

I want one of those!

@jamesmaskalyk thank you for speaking openly about pausing, debriefing and seeking help. We may be good now but why wait until we’re bad?
To provide best care we have to practice it ourselves. So we can say
“I know how it feels and I’m here with you. That’s real medicine” #smacc
Tips for managing the dying #asthmatic 🌬 from @CriticalCareNow:
- ketamine to settle
- epi to bronchodilate
- early NIV to avoid fatigue
- gentle vents to avoid breath stacking

Gorman: the value proposition of medicine has gone. We don’t require doctors to retain vast quantities of information anymore. We do need communicators to help our patients make decisions. Yet we still try to recruit students who retain information

You’re 8 years old.
Your 3rd grade class orders chinese food & your father delivers it. You are so excited to see your pops in school. He’s your hero. But apparently other kids don’t think he’s so cool. They laugh at him and mimic his accent. You don’t want to be Chinese anymore.
