Emergency RN. Sometimes camoflauge nurse. All views are my own, retweeting is not an endorsement.

@SenatorCash Because of the years the LNP drove our country I to the ground. It's harder to pick up the pieces that the ALP has to do than throw the cup at the wall that your party did

@EM_RESUS Having the midazolam drawn up ready to go prevents recurrent seizures.

[Nat Robbo @mongoosecat200]

@alfiegray515 @MedCrisis @feelingunderap1 Because not everyone can afford to do it that way, and it obviously isn't working, given the shortages being experienced worldwide. If something doesn't work, then new ways should be trialled, and that's the stage the world is at I think

[Nat Robbo @mongoosecat200]

@MedCrisis @feelingunderap1 So a fresh AHP comes out of their masters degree, and can function at the level of a junior MO in their specialist area (requiring supervision etc) can get onto the training program, held to the same standards.

[Nat Robbo @mongoosecat200]

@MedCrisis @feelingunderap1 I agree, there are some flaws with it. I do think that some training pathways should be open to AHPs, and that everyone gets held to the same standard of practice through the various colleges. Perhaps that's how we can ensure safety with multiple pathways to practice.

[Nat Robbo @mongoosecat200]

@feelingunderap1 @MedCrisis Not really. Plenty of systemic reviews we base patient management off have worse exclusion rates. ILCOR has some easily available ones that they base resus off and they have even lower rates of study inclusion, starting in the several thousands, ending under 100.

[Nat Robbo @mongoosecat200]

@MedCrisis Maybe we should do away with the title of dr for anyone who hasn't done a doctoral degree. People with an MBBS can be called a Medical Practitioner, and then patients can be less confused when people use titles like Dr or Nurse Practitioner, because they have their own meaning

[Nat Robbo @mongoosecat200]

@Aetherealrealm @abcnews It talks about that, but you'd have to read the article to find out, rather than just the headline

[Nat Robbo @mongoosecat200]

@LezBeFranc @abcnews It says if you read the article

[ILCOR @Ilcor_org]

We are delighted to announce the publication of our CPR in Low Resource Settings Statement in @LancetGH. Through collaboration with experts across diverse resource settings, ILCOR recognises that a "one size fits all" approach cannot be taken for CPR.

@neilorpen @trentconsultant Some fun reading here though.

[Nat Robbo @mongoosecat200]

@neilorpen @trentconsultant I would agree with the last statement. Protocols are rules for fools and guides for the wise. A good protocol can be great, and evidence shows their usefulness, but this one obviously needs review.

[Nat Robbo @mongoosecat200]

@neilorpen @trentconsultant If you think that doctor lead protocols never lead to deaths, then I think you need to examine the evidence, instead of using one data point to make a sweeping statement

[Nat Robbo @mongoosecat200]

@neilorpen @trentconsultant Because he was misdiagnosed as an ischemic CVA, a diagnosis that we know has high incidences of errors in the EDs worldwide, and unfortunately commenced on an incorrect treatment, that in this case had severe consequences.

[Nat Robbo @mongoosecat200]

@timricketts_ But is the "gold standard" evidence based? There seems to be a growing body of evidence that AHP (specifically NPs) have equal (sometimes better) outcomes to MOs, and higher patient satisfaction.

[Nat Robbo @mongoosecat200]

@neilorpen @trentconsultant I'm sorry for your loss, but strokes are one of the common missed/mis-diagnosed presentations to ED. Stats I can find specific UK data, but some data show strokes being misdiagnosed about 17% of the time in the US. To attribute this to a non-medical diagnosis is stretching.

@LisaTow17296966 @abcnews You know that he was an American Broadcasting Company news journalist and not the Australian Broadcasting Corporation journalist, right? Wrong country and organisation mate, but nice try.

[Nat Robbo @mongoosecat200]

@LightShade55 @abcnews But the Voice isn't Treaty. They're separate things. We're discussing the Voice now, so where in the proposal of the Voice does it say it?
