#Sunrise 😂 I think mint website may have had a surge as cant get on.

@lyndalpn How many extra places will this mean Lyndal?

@GPswampwarrior Hey Louise where did you find this table please? Thanks for spreading the word.

MyMedicare opens today. Here's the impact on the Medicare rebate. Medicare is like car insurance. You pay the mechanic, the insurance company gives you some money back. When we bulk bill, we accept the money Medicare gives you as full payment. Here's why I can't BB Mental health.

@DrEilidhMaria @ianwoodaudio @hawkes281 Aus doc here. Sorry you have to endure that bs. In aus would be paid a shit load. Paid per hr rostered and time sheet for overtime. Like 3 public holiday pay, weekend loading plus accumulate extra days leave per public holiday, extra loading on all work >80 hrs a fortnight.

@AlboMP We need world leaders that call out the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. How can you look away?

We've created enough jobs to fill every one of these stadiums combined: 🏟️ The MCG 🏟️ Accor Stadium 🏟️ Optus Stadium 🏟️ Adelaide Oval 🏟️ Marvel Stadium 🏟️ Suncorp Stadium 🏟️ QSAC 🏟️ The SCG 🏟️ Blundstone Arena

It's happening! #RMA23

@drjenlim Yeh how come it always seems to be in the account I use the least out of the 3

@TPP_MD Yes don't want to look back and think gee I could have done more with my life than studied. We have to be present and enjoy each day no matter what exam coming up.

I’ll be happy when I become a resident, it’ll make all this studying worth it I’ll be happy when I am an attending… that will solve my burnout It’ll be happy when I buy a house… or car… or… This is called an arrival fallacy, and it’s a big problem for a lot of doctors 1/

@QLDCountryGP Don't worry still most of us can't cope with the heat or the maroons 😆

Dear southerners, You've screwed up Queensland property prices enough now - how about you call it quits and stay down there? Lets just go back to when you used to call us banana-benders and laugh at our accents and before you realized we lived in paradise. It's getting silly.

@KangarooBeach @SAHealth That is heart breaking Tim must be so distressing for staff. I haven't seen stats for up here lately. At some point staff jump off sinking ship rather than sink with it.

Insane situation Terrible for patient care Soul destroying for staff Whatever happened to the @SAHealth system?

@MaritaCowie @ACRRM Wow that's a good mock CABC resus in the wild

#RuralGeneralists @ACRRM

@amapresident @abcnews @PressClubAust @EndometriosisAu @endoactive How to get access to surgeons that specialise in endo to rural Australian women. AGES to the bush campaign please!

@QLDCountryGP Single mid 30s lady doc who doesn't want kids response: Money, safe housing, easy airport access and colleagues to discuss/share on call with

1. Last few weeks I've seen some ideas thrown around about attracting rural GPs that range from widely optimistic to outright delusional. So let me simplify things as someone who grew up regional and works rural by choice.

@kennedyspqr @nick_coatsworth Not to mention rebate frozen for years. About to fellow and I care about the rebate! Inspiration in early career years dead to me.

If we want more GPs then interns have to be in General Practices. Docs have to be exposed to people who inspire them in that first year. Yes, increase rebates, but exposure to the specialty needs to start as soon as possible. Let’s put forward solutions beyond rebates! 1/3

@ICUKombi @AlfredHealth Thats good. I work in Grafton NSW. I'm not sure what engagement theres been with Gold coast ecmo team which is the closest accesible unit about how accessible the service is. I am going to ask our icu/ED director.

@vwhewitt @AlfredHealth Hi Vanessa in Victoria we have ecmo retrieval from regional and rural centres - we have been able to use ecmo on patients from Echuca, Mildura, Bendigo etc. I totally agree equitable access needs to be our aim.

Our COVID figures today: The Alfred: 77 ICU: 30 (COVID+ and ongoing care) Ventilator: 11 ECMO: 11 Discharged: 12 ICU director @ICUKombi said the unit has expanded 30% to 57 beds. "This is the biggest ICU setup we’ve ever had at The Alfred."

@snouzin @AlfredHealth @ICUKombi Thanks @snouzin. Mind blowing. Thanks for sharing your podcast. It would be interesting to follow the lives of some of these people on ecmo for 100+ days who get off it and survive - their rehab journey, quality of life. I wonder if many qualitative studies looking at this.

@vwhewitt @AlfredHealth @ICUKombi Exactly. Even in cities, it’s not available in every ICU. ECMO is super sub-specialised. This is my chat with Dr Ryan Salter about his experiences in the UK podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/aus…

Thx Michelle Bridges for discussing @12WBT Urinary continence,no one talks about it but so common in young and mature women. I encourage women to talk to their GP.Lots of good websites too jeanhailes.org.au/health-a-z/bla…, continence.org.au smh.com.au/lifestyle/heal…
