This was so important to say and @Microinteracti1 does so with eloquent power. What happens to a country when it looks away from its leader's moral void ; his grotesquely inhumane lack of decency?

Very succinct and insightful presentation of the results of NAP7 by @doctimcook at the kollinginstitute yesterday . Thanks prof cook.

Seeing @PatMetheny at the Sydney opera house was a transcendent experience. What a musical journey.

@maffygirl It's a great read of itself, but growing up at a time and place not dissimilar to #Gunnawah (and coincidentally seeing Gough Whitlam when he came to visit) - makes it a hoot to read #Gunnawah

People are feeling climate change in higher food prices and power bills and in the skyrocketing costs of insurance. Leaders who are serious about cost of living must be serious about action on climate change. #LeadersDebate #auspol #AusVotes2025

No, it’s just a thought really. But if a factor is identified which may lead to an improvement in outcomes in any area of medicine one could argue that it would be appropriate to explore effective mechanisms to improve the outcomes of one group of practitioners to approach the outcomes identified in another group of practitioners. The question is: what would be an effective technique? This is on the assumption that the finding is confirmed in future studies.

@doctimcook @katy_skier @dariovonwedel @MatthiasEikerm1 @maxsebschaefer @BIDMCAnesthesia @BJAJournals Fascinating article. This paper will engender further research to explore these issues I'm sure. What is the best way to address this issue if it is confirmed? Is there a role for education and targeted workshops for male anaesthetists?

I’m not sure what’s the point of the Greens in parliament. To use Gough Whitlam’s great line: “There is no one so pure as the impotent.”

I suggest to friends around the world NOT to do what the US has done, putting profit-driven mega-corporations in charge of most health care.
It has been an enormous disaster!

[Gavin Preston, M.D. @GavinPrestonMD]

I gazed at my great-great-grandparents' grave.
They lived on the US Frontier in the 19th-century.
Things they never had:
Electricity.
Indoor plumbing.
Hospitals.
Electric lights.
Antibiotics.
Cars.
Phones.
Vaccines.
Computers.
I had to wonder--were they any less happy than we are?

@lightfootsj @ANZCA @amit_pawa @RegionalAnaesUK Not on the list I do there. On the other side of the bridge.

@lightfootsj @ANZCA @amit_pawa @RegionalAnaesUK Neuraxial US has really aided my spinals and made them more efficient , which I thought initially would not be the case.

Great album launch for @Camera_Obscura_ last night at rough trade east . Great harmonies, tight synchronisation.
