@Xeon4f145d96s1 @pierrepoint69 There is a clear process for 'lateral transfers' between UK and Aus defence forces. QLD Police were actively recruiting from UK. The process is no more serious than coming across as a doctor.

@YouAreLobbyLud What’s their actual qualification?

[Duncan @dmacwalter]

@ama_media Any chance you could advocate with public health to break down the barriers to testing? They seem to think they should gatekeep and be informed of every suspected case before testing. That’s a barrier - you only find cases by lowering the threshold a little.

[Duncan @dmacwalter]

@dt_bullock @QLDCountryGP @AlboMP Yup, I’ll never forget the QLD CHO, now @QldGovernor telling us that GPs were private business and they wouldn’t help with PPE procurement. Not ‘frontline’ so no early vaccine. Few months later they’re cross that GPs didn’t want to see any vURTI symptoms in their practices.

@DrLKVaughan Guaranteed parody, presumably keen to locum in northern Australia.

@DrMLivingston @Qantas @ACRRM @MedAire Not at all ideal, or indeed SOP, especially when not every doctor can be expected to know the effects of altitude on disease. Any thoughts @Qantas? Do you rely on pro bono help? It influences my choice of carrier.

[Duncan @dmacwalter]

@DrMLivingston @Qantas @ACRRM @MedAire I'm sure you didn't. @Qantas CMO recently said the policy for IFE is for Capt to contact @MedAire every time, who advise the crew, who may occasionally ask for passenger assistance. Doesn't seem to eventuate, who wants to be pro bono on-call every flight?

@ClinOncDoc @wesstreeting Graduated in 1972, so what about the strike in 1975 🤦‍♂️🤔

[Duncan @dmacwalter]

@LittlePersonDoc @mccatmad And the pass mark required in med schools are higher than other courses.

@GREIGEYESBIKER1 A system that was reactionary within capacity to see you quickly when you aren’t stable, or see a new patient, freed up of meaningless annual reviews would be better. Needs a funding shift to coordinated primary care though.

[Duncan @dmacwalter]

@GREIGEYESBIKER1 If you step back a moment, this whole process was a waste - what is the need for a 5 min specialist appt at an arbitrary 12m interval. Your GP will be monitoring BP/weight ad they’re prescribing. A random resting sats in a stable patient is meaningless.

@Coles Coles online team, or @TSVCouncil Food Safety? You're selling fresh pasta marketed for kids that's riddled with black mould.

[Duncan @dmacwalter]

This 'fresh' kids pasta was delivered today from @Coles North Ward, QLD. It's riddled with black mold. @tsv_bulletin @TSVCouncil

@mantealike2 @hippocampophile @kcisc @medicalmodelbri Dermatoscope off of Temu?

@wowItsJuzzy @XuanJi53490765 Medicare levy just goes into general taxation. It’s not ring fenced for Medicare. It really has nothing to do with Medicare other than palatable-for-LNP tax rise.

[Duncan @dmacwalter]

@medicalmodelbri @parthaskar @lengreview @DrLKVaughan @DrSelvarajah @doctor_katie @DrPhilBanfield @UKGastroDr @VictoriaTzB @ShivaniM_KC @Rezaidi @ShrillaB @iDrSunny If nothing else, those naivity exemplifies the lack of critical thinking. Of course the sellers of the course will say everything will be fine at a nebulous point in the future when you're no longer their customer! 🤦‍♂️

[Duncan @dmacwalter]

@DrJoFranklin @juniordoc554 @LittlePersonDoc And until recently, it made most sense to move permanently post CCT - so always over 5 years minimum.

[Duncan @dmacwalter]

@b_d4512 @DrHas83 Dr Has was though. Either way, there's lots of opportunities under general practice.
