Is this particularly surprising?? We live in a society where the government and community continues to devalue the role of the GP within our health system. As much as I try to make general practice look and feel appealing to my medical students, the issues and bartiers we face are clear.
Lol damn, shipping is the same price as the mug...
Tame impala and Spacey Jane should be up there
Pls allow international shipping 🥲
You mean there are people that don't know Bankrupt?? 😂😂😂
Save this post for posterity when the inevitable happens in Australia, where the government never learns from the mistakes of others.
1/ 🚨 The UK introduced Physician Associates (PAs) as a response to the healthcare workforce crisis. But the journey has been contentious, with lessons for other countries considering similar measures. A 🧵 on the findings from our new paper with Louella Vaughan and Giuliano Russo
A harbinger of things to come if the Australian Labor government continues its path on turning Medicare in General Practice into the NHS.
The best solution is to follow QLDs lead.
It's starting to warm up here in Adelaide.
Serving as a reminder to ensure putting on SPF 50 before leaving the house.
If there's one thing I tell my patients I wish I did when I was growing up, was using more sunscreen.
Not only do you protect against cancer, but you look younger for longer!
New study from Australia: A blood-based mRNA signature distinguishes people with Long Covid from recovered individuals.
The potential to become valid LC biomarkers is there. Small sample size is a caveat, as the authors acknowledge.

What a crock of s$&t this legislation is. Speaking as someone who inherently bypassed a lot of computer restrictions growing up as a teenager, I can guarantee this will not solve the issues relating to social media.
Teenagers are smart. They always find a way or they will use something else.
Someone called this mass exodus from Twitter ‘the fall of the Broman Empire’ and I died laughing. 💀
Agree, "echo chambers" is literally human nature. We have always gravitated towards people we deem "good" for us. I.e. like-minded people and walk away from people who don't add anything aside from negativity.
It's a survival mechanism.
Messaging is incredibly important and something that I think we as doctors and the health profession more widely struggle with.
Weirdly, the whole wellness discourse about "gut health" and the microbiome has turned many of my patients off the idea of antibiotics in typical scenarios like urtis.
Great work, especially in a time where advocacy for GPs and our patients have never been more important and urgent.
All the best to you Michael and hoping together we can achieve great things.
Something I forgot was even a thing back in the Twitter days that suddenly is back thanks to bluesky is media that can be played in-app without rerouting to an external browser!
I forgot how great it was to be able to watch embedded YouTube videos without having to leave the app!
Small tings
That's if he doesn't cancel it from their end first.
"fell" out of the window
As GPs we are very familiar with supporting our patients when demands tip them into crisis
Sadly many GPs find themselves in this position, with increasing demands, little support & failure of leadership to listen & provide what’s needed
How many more leaving will it take?

Many patients ask me why I'm still wearing masks whilst consulting.
This is precisely why.
I cannot afford to get COVID over and over again when I see on average 28-30 patients a day in a room with very average ventilation.
A stark reminder for our local politicians that following in the footsteps of the UK is not always the best option.
Ultimately it’s the patient that suffer.

The true plandemic will begin in 2025 in the US, and I’m sad to say I’m glad to be a spectator and not a participant.
So simple yet so useful
An important tool moving forward for our patients.
This is huge, media outlets transitioning away from X (formerly twitter).
Every day that goes by will turn that website into one big right wing echo chamber. Shame!
Thoughts go out to my American colleagues who have to endure this shitstorm.
Serves as a reminder that we as doctors and healthcare professionals need to stay vigilant and continue advocating for our patients.
Incredible visualisation.
The public in the current age of TikTok and instagram need data that is easy to interpret within seconds.
Do my eyes deceive me? Is this truly a space where medicos can communicate without having a rabid conspiracy theorist jumping down your throat?
Let's see if #medsky and #gpsky can fill the void!
Thanks for explaining this! My patients are gonna enjoy having less side effects from oral iron and yet having better results!
