24 years in Emergency Medicine and I think I am done! Struggling to see a solution, stay positive or provide the quality care our patients deserve. Hard work, digging in and goodwill won't cut it. Chronic underfunding, screwed targets and government stupity have destroyed the job

@scottdav44 @katy_skier @BJAJournals @ANZCA Hi David and Congratulations Kate!

Just what were we doing over the last 2 months while watching other countries take the blow. PPEs is not a joke. Wake up PNG!

[David Menon @Menon_Cambridge]

Needless to say, the major elective cases that need ICU support (cancer, neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, transplantation), and could deliver life-changing benefits are also put on hold by the outbreak

@DVervoort94 So sorry mate! Hope things settle sooner! Take care

@UNDPinPNG @PNG_Insight @unredd @REDDCommunity @theGEF About time! We get serious about it!

@precordialthump @RogerRdharris It’s one grand fishing 🎣 expedition. the fear of under diagnosis leads to over diagnosis .then those tests due to peer pressure and lack of self confidence ..we need to scientifically investigate and ameliorate iatrogenic harm. btw missed diagnosis is not under diagnosis IMHO

Hugo visiting the unit this week - it’s always a good day when one of the pat dogs visit @PetsAsTherapyUK

[David Menon @Menon_Cambridge]

I agree - but to be more precise:
- good critical care is doing as little as possible to patients,
- except in those in whom the right thing may be to do as much as possible
- and the art and science of good critical care is identifying the latter population

Becoming like an overnight sensation on FB just like that??? It’s just insane-this feeling! Thank you Kundu London!

[Greg Tokwabilula @gdt6836]

We must fight the gravitational pull between money and power, says @mgtmccartney who calls for doctors to be represented in organisations whose side we can say we’re on https://t.co/VJcM9lOhVH

[Greg Tokwabilula @gdt6836]

Just purely reckless! After all, there’s nothing to prove! After APEC, struggle continues! Very sorry PNG. https://t.co/cR1GRSZwAB

Common sense is more a state of mind than a physical attribute! So those who lack it really need a fresh rehearsal!

[Greg Tokwabilula @gdt6836]

Visited the PNG High Com in London today! Met with the Madam High Commissioner, Mrs Kiap. Just so beautiful to be with your countrymen!
