So became a covid pos dad,
My fam got it and I had to come back home.
I have been bedridden for a bit. Everything hurts. My Git reminds it exists!! I am boostered. Slowing down was the hardest. Seeing indifference abt this frustrates me. I will make it. Others won’t so lucky.

@nolittley @NikkiCrust Sadly to what advantage for the patient? POGO tells you your new reference point. When robotics do this in the future all this will be archaic. If to teach one must humiliate then one does not know how to be a teacher. New era, tools, new way of thinking. Be innovative@nolittley

@NikkiCrust No weakness there Nikki!!! Best person in the room, best dressed - with the best tools to make the first try a success. Hypoxic brain injury does not get celebrated! #VLSAFER

@StephenLap @SinaiHealth @lisa_burry Amazing mom, friend, academic, and an absolute legend of a person!

@KazemiAlex As HCW we are at a unique point in history were we take back control. Talk and mobilisation is required.

[Timothy @drtimchimunda]

@DogICUma Totally agree! There are so many outcome factors that would determine how this finding, once peer reviewed , could be used/adopted to change practice. There is a physiologic for fluids first. Would be interesting to read the analysis

[Timothy @drtimchimunda]

@bernarddho People shold be paid the right wage that reflects their worth to patient care. Nursing and Medicine has evolved. This is not a pitting contest. Let’s advocate yes! With one accord indeed!

P2/2
Unseen…

My tours have turn my pee brown
I frown, but long for the hydralyte
My one delight
In this mayhem of hell
Shall I scream
What a dream
If only we could be seen

P1/2
Unseen….

The sun is going low
The hum yet rises
The drum beats intensify
The shift grows longer
Ringer off the hook
Another one on loose
A sick call
So my hopes fall
Short again
But I must refrain
For bed 4 needs me
Where is my PPE again
I have stopped logging the hours

[Timothy @drtimchimunda]

@MikeCarlton01 Volume volume volume and pressure on output. Spating a thought for the person who pressed send and verified results. We are all human. Can only imagine what you are going through!

@ewen_jacob @seanmm10 @9NewsMelb Well said!!!!!!

[Timothy @drtimchimunda]

I wish some people would come and work in a covid ward! Help intubate, provide meal breaks, balance rosters. I do not need a picket warrior! Just another soul to help the one I am trying to save! #Covid_19 #ProLife #Provax

@NSWHealth Regardless of how this has panned out - many lives are bring affected by this. With NSW reaching out for help with contact tracing means - the fire has well and truly run away from them. We must spare a thought for the contact tracers trying their best!!

[Timothy @drtimchimunda]

@NSWHealth The inertia being shown will be the downfall of their strategy.
This “Gucci lockdown style!” is really not going to work. The r is sprinting away from them. The message is diluted in intent. Their choice of policy will echo into the long night of chaos!!

[Timothy @drtimchimunda]

@JoeABCNews I think we have a sad situation here. Some should have protected her better. If there is a shortage of vaccines then let us call it that and spell out a way forward that is not laced with politics. We do not need to relearn mistakes other countries have corrected. #Tipoficeberg

[Timothy @drtimchimunda]

As the Delta strain sounds the war drum around the country, let us remember the best defence is getting tested! Do not assume it is cold. Once you cannot trace then …well! The Perth case (physio) highlights how false negs can give false reassurance.

[Timothy @drtimchimunda]

@NSWHealth Time will tell if we shut down soon enough. It is hard to predict anything with unknown variables - testing is on a voluntary basis. Sewage data tells us we under report. Regardless everyone wakes up to do a great job. So to all in NSW prayers are with you!!
