Was a pleasure to contribute to this edition of @amavictoria #VICDOC: “In the minds of the next generation of doctors”

Reminder that the other TA, who is not trans and also gave the student a zero, was NOT suspended or terminated... That should tell you enough.

@nickmmark Obviously an American would say this ;) Welcome back the great transatlantic acid-base debate

🔥 hot take: Base excess/deficit is just training wheels for blood gas interpretation

The government won't force you to vaccinate your kids, because we have certain principles about bodily autonomy and parental rights in this country. Even when the results are awful. We still have certain principles about personal choice. But with trans healthcare, there's a huge and growing movement to take away families' rights to make their own medical decisions about this kind of care. Even many liberal and centrist publications and commentators will constantly debate the quality of scientific evidence for youth gender medicine--at worst, the argument seems to be "we're not sure if it works, because there just isn't a lot of high-quality evidence." The implicit argument is that if the science is insufficiently compelling, the state would be justified to remove the liberty of families to make these choices for themselves. That state legislatures, or Congress, would be warranted in making these healthcare choices *for* American families--because the science is ambiguous. But where the science it *totally unambiguous*--on the benefits and safety of vaccination, or the necessity in many emergencies for blood transfusions, we let anti-vaxxers put their children (and other children!) at risk. We let Jehovah's Witnesses deprive their children of lifesaving emergency care. In other words, we are so committed, as a country, to the freedom of families and individuals to make their own choices about their bodies and their healthcare, that we allow them even to make *objectively very bad choices*. Except, apparently, when it comes to transgender healthcare. Here, we make an exception. Here, Congress gets to choose for you. In this one area, you are not to be permitted the freedom to make choices for yourself or your child. The government will tell you what you can and cannot do, as a parent. You're allowed to make medical decisions for your child that result *directly* in their death; but you're not allowed to get them healthcare that you and your child sincerely believe is necessary for their flourishing and health--not if that healthcare challenges people's norms about sex and gender.

The cover of the Lancet. It says it all.

If he apologized every time he said something offensive he'd be continually apologizing whenever he interacted with other people. Disabled people have the right to participate in society without spending their entire lives on their knees begging forgiveness for existing.

@utacult @tinysons You've got it backwards - Langdon wanted to wait to transfuse, but Robby wanted to transfuse. Garcia agreed with Langdon.

@tinysons I disagree. Yeah what he said in the helipad was shitty and threw Langdon off his game but in here Langdon wanted a transfusion and Robby suggested he should wait. Then when Garcia showed up, said the same thing as Robby and he "covered" for Langdon saying he agreed with her

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

@Sadpinko @kevinbonham tallyroom.aec.gov.au/SenateDownload… - Formal preferences

@kevinbonham Where can one find voting data like this? I would like to find my senate vote but cannot find the voting data for vic other than the distribution of preferences pdf.

In Victoria this ATL Senate voting order occurred 1183 times, widely spread. Anyone know who recommended this? 1 Libertarian 2 One Nation 3 GRPF 4 Family First 5 Shooters 6 TOP 7 Coalition 8 ALP

Attacks on Australia’s preferential voting system are ludicrous. We can be proud of it - Kevin Bonham: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

I call for Tom Elliott's contract to be scrapped, this item is misleading garbage.

In honor of #MayThe4thBeWithYou let's consider the most difficult airways in the Star Wars universe: 1. Darth Vader Species: human Vader presents several challenges: Vent dependent at baseline, airway burns from Mustafar, limited neck mobility. Discuss GOC before saving him

Antony Green be like “Fuck it, my tech doesn’t work and I can’t be bothered with suspense, so I’ll just tell you now, Labor’s won. I’m retiring, see you all later.”

What remains clear is that this ruling hasn't offered any clarity. Anyone can see that the practicalities of existing as a trans woman have been made significantly more complicated.

The fact that RFK jr throws around the acronym "MAHA" just indicates that he's not fit for the job since anyone in medicine knows that MAHA is not a great thing to be excited about
