With a couple of modifications, a good #Torch can largely replace multiple daily use items we have or wish for in ambulance (& ?ED).
Does anyone know a torch company that does R&D with frontliners but also offers fair royalties or IP acquisition for unpatented concepts?

I had the honour of meeting Professor Chamberlain in 2014. I will never forget him smacking his cane on a desk so we would pay attention 😅
Professor Chamberlain is one of the giants whose shoulders the entire paramedic profession stands upon.
This is a sad day for paramedicine.

It's hard to believe that #SMACC2013 was 12 years ago.
It was like the #ChickenBomb of #FOAMed - but in a good way!

So will this be a risk factor in the HEART score, or will COVID get its own category?

Will the new acronym have to be RACHET?

@DrLindaDykes I'd love to see data on volume (which often but not always correlates with how full they are) and number of code greys/staff abuse etc.
EDs are sensory nightmares and it gets worse when they're crowded!

@DocOnSkis Support group/special interest group. Call it what you want, but that's the group who is going to be meeting up with people to eat chocolate biscuits!

@mhnparamedic This is a pet peeve of mine.

I'm not going to leave my patient soiled - that's just asking for skin breakdown issues, not to mention the lack of dignity!
And ED nurses are run off their feet!

Sometimes other things take priority, but toileting/PC is a basic element of care!

@hsweig @jtrebach BMs have the strongest/most concentrated odour of it, but that odour (sans the BM smell) also comes out of people's skin.

[Lily Lucent @lilylucent]

@SallyRCbra @jtrebach Yes, I smell it out and about all the time.
Most people stop smelling of it within a couple of weeks of infection. Some people continue to smell of it for months.
Whenever I work with someone else who can smell it, our noses always agree.

[Lily Lucent @lilylucent]

@SallyRCbra @jtrebach It's hard to explain.
Imagine if a teenager with advanced renal failure locked themselves in a small room while they had a nasty cold, and their diet included a lot of onions.
It hits higher in the nose than Parkinson's.

@EveAinsworth A learning experience you'll both laugh about later 😅

@mariamtokhi @GrahamHamish I'll pick his brains next time I see him over the fence 🙂

Someone asked me what our protocol is for managing O2 cylinders after an #ambulance crash...

Now I'm on a deep dive of O2 storage requirements and best practices 😅

@NobodyImpawtant The NT has dedicated TB and leprosy clinics in every major region because it's an issue up there.

If you want to learn about some of Australia's interesting TB history, check out the Cattle and Buffalo Policy that was implemented to help manage it.
