There are two things Paramedics hate:

1) Change.
2) The way that things are.

@ClementVerus @Aidan_Baron I'd argue that the opposite... it's the power of being registered and what that entails that tipped the balance of the bargaining power.

[Michael McC @themichaelmcc]

@mfaber66 @justachemist002 @DesignDreamer1 Ah, so intent is the only thing that matters and outcome not at all?

What if you're fully aware of the outcome of your course of action?

For a self proclaimed theology nerd, I'd hope for better critical thinkin' skills mate.

@DavidTruscott Pfft.

Could make it more expensive I reckon.

@ChrisTyrrell84 If it's the same colour on the way out, I seek help.

Hi, I'm lost and clearly out of place in your clinic because even the receptionists wear Figs

@OrthopodReg @DrNickTwit @DrNavSidhu Oh man! I. Hanging out for this as well. We are trying to restructure an ENTIRE Graduate program away from that model...

Tonight’s main takeaway: “Tier Two” rugby is fucking awesome, the South American teams are incredible, and rugby should be doing *everything* to support them, instead of kneecapping and ignoring these guys at every turn.

“Paramedics are like Lego”
@heli_med_james and @robfenwick from @TheResusRoom give a fantastic keynote on the adaptability of paramedics and their suitability for advanced practice roles all over the healthcare system.

I can't tell you how excited I am to see this model in front of even more people.

Great keynote by @TheResusRoom @robfenwick @heli_med_james to kick off @ACParamedicine #ACPIC23.

Anyone who sits still long enough will often have me chew their ear about this 😂

@jlynnbolster @ryanparry01 @KennyLeslie7 @AmbulanceVic @richardarmour99 Only codes that still exist for us are a deceased patient and lunch (meal/crib break)...

😅🤣

Twitter is really just devolving into a-pic-whenever-I-catch-a-plane for me.

[Michael McC @themichaelmcc]

@KennyLeslie7 @jlynnbolster @AmbulanceVic @richardarmour99 "get the purple bag" was a code word that worked really well... right up until there was a purple bag.

Shoutout to Tyasi, Thobela Louis, et al. for what is no doubt a seminal work in their field.

About the voice: In 1986 as part of my training, I was sent to a remote part of the far north west of Australia, to a town with a hospital, and then to a mission that was even more remote, where a senior medical student had prescribing rights. /2

What's the healthcare version of this?
