TWO YRS ago this wk, I made one of those huge life changing, leap of faith career decisions. I moved my team of 10, research &grants to @GarvanInstitute and it’s been so BRILLIANT. So thankful for @dgmacarthur who is convinced I can do anything 👊 and for all of my new friends ❤️
A/Prof Jodie Ingles@jodieingles27

1/ From the Mental Health of the World Report 2021: "Perhaps a system that relentlessly sorts us into
performers and non-performers in the singular service of economic growth is not the path to human
wellbeing" @JEChalmers @timpallas

It’s vindicating to see that an independent review found no evidence of systemic Medicare fraud by doctors. GPs just want to deliver great healthcare to a community in which chronic conditions are on the rise. …/1 theaustralian.com.au/nation/indepen…

Completely overwhelmed by the love in this big #hgsa2022 genomics room. In 2002, I attended my first HGSA as a wide eyed GC student. Couldn’t have imagined being the first GC to present the Sutherland lecture 20 yrs on. So grateful to everyone, especially my amazing team 🤩🥹🫶🏻

I’ve been thinking about the ‘doctors defraud Medicare’ piece for hours.
It’s my considered view that it’s a shitty piece of investigation.
Not because doctors don’t defraud Medicare - a minority do; this is abhorrent.
But because most of what’s in the piece isn’t fraud.👇🏽

A phone consult today lasted 45min. The rebate-$39.75 ($25.80 after paying the practice).I can’t hang up after 20min on someone in crisis. I can’t charge someone living on a pension under the poverty line. (1/2)

Have just learnt that my grandmother’s nursing home waited 8 hours between recognising stroke symptoms and calling an ambulance. They left her for a whole day unable to speak or move. I am so angry. In what world is this acceptable aged care? #MedTwitter #agedcare @Mark_Butler_MP

AusGov: spends 4 years developing an evidence-based 100 page national medical workforce strategy with extensive consultation and community input
Also AusGov: completely ignores entire strategy and assigns workforce budgeting by throwing darts in the dark #auspol #Budget2022

- med students being told their role is to carry the hand sanitizer
- a dr reporting sexual harassment nicknamed 'The Reporter' by teammates
- being advised not to report unacceptable behaviour because nothing would be done
