I have a patient in an aged care facility.
One of his main gripes in life is that 'the doctor never sees me'.
I must have seen him easily >60 times in 18 months.
He just doesn't remember because of cognitive deficits.

There's a warning tonight, Victoria could lose vital healthcare workers to other states as budget cuts bite.

The AMA says a billion-dollar blood bath will put lives at risk and damage the state for years to come. https://t.co/LOnPVkQs6n @ainsleykoch #7NEWS

.@RossAndRussel very timely words by @DrAntheaRhodes. Get your shot especially children. Make haste.

@joegarra61 Bravissimo! Your nonno could never have imagined the journey that would bring the cap and the grandson back to Vizzini. Enjoy the memories and the history ... family origins never be forgotten.

The prime minister has just flown out of Beijing as the tense relationship with our biggest trading partner begins to thaw. China's leaders opting to flatter Anthony Albanese, while reminding him of the superpower's military might. https://t.co/5zYfOfGqUb #7NEWS

I, like many GPs, bill patients and pay a fee to the clinic to use my room. I get no sick leave, holiday leave, long service or superannuation. In what universe could I be considered an employee?! @timpallas @MaryAnneThomas @georgiecrozier @96mitchclarke
