@DGlaucomflecken Anytime Ortho looks good, I’m filled with pride

The surgeon apologizes

@terryscully85 @CarltonFC Nope.

@CarltonFC One of the worst injuries you can get. Could be career ending.

The Club can confirm Sam Walsh last night underwent surgery to have a micro-discectomy procedure in his back. He will unfortunately miss the beginning of the 2023 AFL season. We're wishing Walshy a speedy recovery.

Coffee lovers will love this new report ;-) academic.oup.com/eurjpc/advance… @escardio @BakerResearchAu @uk_biobank ☕️☕️☕️

“Preoperative smoking cessation counselling & pharmacotherapy for 6–8 weeks is cost-effective vs standard care for preventing complications.” authors.elsevier.com/c/1fPPe6CXNFoB… Forever telling my patients to remain smoke free before and following spine surgery.

@ColleenConley20 @nonubusiness @johill41 @blackdoona @michelleatchi15 The distance between a biology degree and being able to critisise vaccines with any authority? Longer than you can fathom obviously.

@ColleenConley20 @nonubusiness @johill41 @blackdoona @michelleatchi15 I did my science and medical degrees at the same university as many great researchers and Nobel Prize winners, but it would be the last thing I would quote to boost my sense of importance as you have. You are a ghoul.

The light in our life has gone out. My beautiful and only daughter died yesterday. She never woke up. It was so utterly unexpected and my husband and my hearts are shattered. I really don’t know what to do.

@ScottAdamsSays What about graphs?

Tip: Whenever someone shows you numbers without percentages (eg. ICU capacity), or percentages without numbers, you are being misled.

@realMarkHobart It’s difficult to tweet how mild COVID is if you’re dead #survivorbias

Got Covid 8 days ago. Now better. It’s the flu. 63yo with heart condition. Don’t panic. AHPRA still want to interview me for impersonating a doctor. DOH Vic issued me with $27000 fine today over the raid.My case to VSC against AHPRA been accepted. Waiting…

@ashtroid22 Settle down. I'm not called ribosome for nothing.

I read today that @alanvdm isn't vaccinated. He drives a doctor around for a living, and even he can't get his head around the evidence for getting yourself vaccinated against COVID. Reduced mortality and morbidity for yourself and those around you still isn't enough?

@j_stokesparish @TheRMH If I was clever enough I’d invent a hashtag for parents vaccinating their children for all the social platforms. #parentswhovaccinatetheirchildren and #sensibleparentsdoingsensiblethings both seem too long.

@JCSpine @TheRMH Thanks for the solidarity!

Standing with intelligent, caring and sensible parents #vaccineswork #trollsdont @TheRMH

@AbrahamWongHXR @DGlaucomflecken Hello anti-vaxxer!

@DGlaucomflecken Also everyone has to beware when someone said they are "very sure about the virus" or "very sure about the vaccines". We are still studying the virus and the vaccine is only out on the market for a year, we are still studying about its long term implication.

Please get vaccinated

@VapingUK_app @janehansen2000 @dailytelegraph Where do you think nicotine comes from? The nicotine fairy?

@janehansen2000 @dailytelegraph Not sure why Aus is so determined to link vaping with big tobacco, other than to try and demonise. Big T have bought into a small portion of the market - gas station and corner store sales, mostly. Vape shops will carry little-no items with tobacco links. UK approach is working.

@AustralianTHR @VapingUK_app @janehansen2000 @dailytelegraph Who says that nicotine is the only substance in vapes? Trying reading more widely respiratory-research.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

@panthernoster @janehansen2000 @VapingUK_app @AustralianTHR @dailytelegraph @KnowNicotine The addicted people who use gums, etc, don't keep using them. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… "Among participants with one-year abstinence, 80% of those who quit using e-cigarettes were still vaping, while only 9% of NRT users stayed on these products." Your welcome.

@janehansen2000 @VapingUK_app @AustralianTHR @JCSpine @dailytelegraph You frankly don’t know or don’t want to @KnowNicotine Where are all the addicted people using nicotine sprays, patches, gums and so on? Nicotine outside combustion is a mild stimulant helping to concentrate and zoom and calming down the brain. Similar to coffee, get a grip now!

@AustralianTHR @janehansen2000 @VapingUK_app @dailytelegraph Altria sold off Kraft group in 2007. Vegemite was subsequently bought by Bega in 2017. So no.

@ColinMendelsohn in an analysis using primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) exposed to 11 commercially-available vapours, 5 were found to be acutely cytotoxic, and only 3 of those contained nicotine respiratory-research.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

6. Addiction to nicotine (note to Ms Bittoun) -Dependence on nicotine is rare in non-smoking youth who vape (West 2019; RCP 2021) -Smoke contains other chemicals that make nicotine more addictive -Most non-smokers vape infrequently and are at low-risk -Many do not use nicotine

Good to see some balance in this article with some commonsense from @AlexWodak However still some serious misinformation FYI @janehansen2000

@ColinMendelsohn “Vaping also increases the risk of myocardial infarction among middle aged men (OR = 1.79) vs. non-users (Alzahrani et al., 2018). Other research has linked vaping to various types of pneumonia, pneumonitis, and alveolar damage”

@ColinMendelsohn Are you really trying to claim nicotine is not addictive?
