What do you call it when you sneak a cat onto a hospital roof + hold said cat up to the window so that a patient can see her best friend one last time before she dies? 🤔🐈 I call it the best part of my job 🤷🏻‍♂️. Cat was wearing a harness for safety 😁🏥 #hpm #hapc

This is the perspective we need 👇🏽

Melbourne/Victorian outbreak. My phone is running hot with people asking “should we panic”? My take? Be vigilant, restrained and careful. Not panicked. Keep your distance, wash your hands, avoid gatherings, keep social contact to the min req for mental health. Why?👇🏽

Taking name suggestions. Do your worst.

@BenWingrove2 @NagdevArun Amazing!!

Engorged appendix (11mm diameter) with adjacent fat stranding. Confirmed appendicitis with perforation on subsequent CT-AP! #POCUS #FOAMed @NagdevArun

This is a big win for everyone who has fought for a more compassionate #AustralianAid budget! @AustralianLabor’s commitment would mean more children in school, action on gender equality, greater global health and helping our neighbours combat climate change. 🌏❤️

A mnemonic for how to spell “mnemonic”: M - mnemonics N - never E - ever M - make sense to me since they’re O - obscure, non-sensical, and full of N - nebulous ideas which are more I - impossible to remember than the fact you’re trying to remember in the first place C - crayon

Wowza. @richardbody recommends letting AI run our cardiac arrests, so clinicians can focus on procedures and higher-order thinking. I want one of those! #SMACC2019

Interested to see what #CODA brings - global health, critcare & research, what more could you want!

@jamesmaskalyk thank you for speaking openly about pausing, debriefing and seeking help. We may be good now but why wait until we’re bad? To provide best care we have to practice it ourselves. So we can say “I know how it feels and I’m here with you. That’s real medicine” #smacc

Amazing session on learning & culture at #SMACC. Importance of shared knowledge & goals, mutual respect and creating psychological safety.

Tips for managing the dying #asthmatic 🌬 from @CriticalCareNow: - ketamine to settle - epi to bronchodilate - early NIV to avoid fatigue - gentle vents to avoid breath stacking #SMACC

Gorman: the value proposition of medicine has gone. We don’t require doctors to retain vast quantities of information anymore. We do need communicators to help our patients make decisions. Yet we still try to recruit students who retain information Librarian - not library #SMACC

Wow - 4 of the most powerful talks I have ever heard from @MADforpeace @darakass @LizCrowe2 @laurakanerock led by @SocraticEM to open #smacc - the #manel is officially dead - this session could not possibly have been stronger @EMManchester @smaccteam @choo_ek @csl888 @LJMottram

The excitement is palpable and the stage set for an incredible week here at #SMACC 🇦🇺🎉 @jwbramwell @jessleeransom @MedDeclan @luke_vater @BenWingrove2 @annaazeng

You’re 8 years old. Your 3rd grade class orders chinese food & your father delivers it. You are so excited to see your pops in school. He’s your hero. But apparently other kids don’t think he’s so cool. They laugh at him and mimic his accent. You don’t want to be Chinese anymore.
