@Liztweets_ @SB_Duggan @MrDenmore @CryTackle I got a pair of multifocals and a pair of prescription sunnies (single vision) for $345 from Dresden (total, no private health rebate). They only have one frame, but they're sturdy and plenty of colours. (I have no commercial interest in Dresden, just a fan)

Phung To from @AustinHealth sharing their problem solving In Medication Safety stream - what do you do if compatibility of preferred post-op analgesic and infusion fluid is unknown? Do a compatibility study. #MM2023SHPA

@red_cordial @imaanjoshi Disclaimer that I work in the hospital system and am not completely over finding for community pharmacy..

[Gina McLachlan @ginamcbina]

@red_cordial @imaanjoshi The reality is that dispensing fee pays for the professional service of reviewing scripts. What other hcp can you go in and see whenever? P'cists are spending lots of time chasing out of stocks, counseling pts, chasing drs to change scripts- with no fees attached.

@YouAreLobbyLud Makes it isotonic. Addition of 10 mmol KCl to 0.9% would make it hypertonic and cause more vein irritation.

Everywhere I turn, I’m seeing more young people using e-cigarettes. Shaped like highlighters or hoodie toggles, and in flavours like “fruit loops” or “strawberry kisses”. We need URGENT, stronger protections on these addictive devices. Before a new gen is hooked on nicotine.

@jacsvoice Jupiter had an extra fun run in the mud to celebrate. Thanks Pepper!

@pharmerfour Worth pointing out that the covid antiviral advisory service for prescribers in Victoria puts them in touch with a pharmacist. Who provides advice and information about how to manage potential interactions..

@EMAJournal @Dr_Elliot_Long @DrSimonCraig @MeredithBorland @monicaslavin @NCAS_Aus @gabhaeusler @PREDICT_network @WileyHealth @acemonline You might want to check your spelling of neutropenia there. It's derived from greek -penia meaning poverty or lack of, nothing to do with blood where you might get -ae root.

@bigjimaus @COSACPG Oh Jim! Hope everything being monitored returns / stays normal!

@GongGasGirl But only in patients with diabetes? Some will be on for heart failure alone these days - would we still worry about ketoacidosis in non-diabetic patients with prolonged fasting?

@KerrynRG Sorry to hear Kerryn. Hope you have a restful sleep tonight and feel much improved tomorrow x

[Gina McLachlan @ginamcbina]

@jacsvoice Sorry to hear. Hope he feels better soon. We'll end our 7 days of isolation soon after Mr13 turned positive Tues. He had 2 badish days, then much better. Thankfully the rest of us have stayed negative, even ms11 after only 1 dose. Tks Vax! Hope the same for you too.
