I have always felt some anticipatory anxiety before working a shift in the emergency department.

In case you think abortion laws don’t matter: last week a pharmacist declined to fill a prescription for a patient of mine with an ectopic pregnancy citing SB8 restrictions.

The same medicine that saved my life in 2013 when I had my own ectopic pregnancy

Here’s a story about GP availability in aged care: patient with severe cellulitis and delirium needs to start antibiotics ASAP. Does not want to go to hospital. GP won’t agree to NP prescribing them because he ‘wants to see for himself’.

Since YouTube removed our public interest report about the Parliament House #PrayerRoom due to a defamation complaint, we have decided to upload it to our own website.

We won't be silenced by the Liberal Party and neither should you be. Share it round.

I’m a nurse practitioner working in specialist palliative aged care. Let me share with you just a little bit about what happens in a residential aged care facility/‘nursing home’ that doesn’t have registered nurses 24/7 365 days of the year.

[Richard Aedy @richardaedy]

So, this may be the Covid, but I've been thinking about something @JEChalmers said on #QandD to the effect of: It's cheaper to have full time public servants, than private consultants. A thread 1/10

Shocked to hear that NPS Medicinewise was defunded in the Liberal Budget on Tuesday. Over $1.1 billion in savings to the PBS and MBS, responsible for reducing countless medication harms and errors, and providing education to prescribers and consumers on medicines since 1998.

“Because what is the most important thing in the health system? It is the people who work in it. Without skilled health care workers, there is no health system at all” Beautiful articulation of the probs and solutions ⁦@ACEMPresident⁩ https://t.co/VFMhkcKDr7

Oh, it’s just putting out the recycling.
Note how it’s been cropped for ‘Flood Crisis’.

Mosquito-borne Japanese encephalitis virus has been detected in NSW and Victoria. This is a highly unusual discovery and care should be taken to avoid exposure to mosquito bites. See alerts from @NSWHealth https://t.co/13edxyxPd5 and @VicGovDH https://t.co/HLcnK2m2Yk

@the_shb This week, day shift, multiple days in a row, not a SINGLE RN on duty in a facility to care for a resident who is dying and is on a syringe driver. Who is managing the S8 medications? Who is supervising the ENs and carers? How is this legal @GregHuntMP and @richardmcolbeck ?

[Anne Connolly @anneconnollyabc]

389 #agedcare residents have died with #COVID this month alone. More than all of 2021. Can the rest of the media please look at the figures from the Dept of Health?

[marquelawyers @marquelawyers]

The guy on the radio said that, in Australia, we don't suffer racism or persecution, well, "the majority of us", so we should celebrate Australia Day. Because that's how human rights work here: it's a majority thing.

[💥Dr💥 Julia Baird @bairdjulia]

A quiet reminder that when Justice Kenneth Hayne, head of royal commission into banking misconduct, refused to smile or even shake the hand of the Treasurer during a photo op in 2019, it was not considered the stuff of national calamity.

@TamePunk is making a similar point.

[Tory Shepherd @ToryShepherd]

On Australia’s deadliest day of Covid pandemic, experts say we don’t know enough about who is dying. And blaming "underlying conditions" risks creating two classes of Australians - those we care about, and those we don't. https://t.co/DFg6rXRs0N

[🧶 unravellednurse 🧶 @jsam-1967.bsky.social @jsam_1967]

People are dying badly in residential aged care. Not from COVID19, but from critical understaffing, medication supply issues, and family not being able to visit. No second RN or EN to check meds for patients on end of life infusions. Delays in care.
