@Aidan_Baron @sineadtaylor The second photo looks more like sitting than hiking. 🤣

@lyndalpn So this is the sewing room! Somehow you undersold it when you were describing it to me.

I was lucky enough to snag tickets for RENT while it was in Newcastle and last night I got to see it live! An incredible story performed by a talented cast touring around the country at the moment. #nodaybuttoday

@Aidan_Baron @DrBenMoran @NSWAmbulance The same welfare systems exist for those responders who are unable to attend a GoodSam alert. I’m very impressed.

Responded to my 4th GoodSam alert and first GoodSam CPR recently
I have been so impressed by the way crews, managers, and call takers show gratitude and care for GoodSam app responders.
And to get an email and call checking on me within 24 hours!
Wow
Well done @NSWAmbulance

@Aidan_Baron Moreso the people around you being uncaffeinated, dehydrated and unsanitised. Hope you don't have a seat near the loo!

@DavidTruscott Nah I’m fine
I don’t drink caffeine
I always bring a water bottle with me
And I have 2x hand sanitisers in my bag
I’m fine 😌

@Imi_cycles It’s contextual. Pav by its pure self (meringue) I can pass, but layer it with a health amount of whipped cream (with vanilla) and entirely too much fruit and it’s another story.

@mmamas1973 Person centred language, not disease centred language. Choices matter.

I've just had a review back for one of my group's papers in which the reviewer asks that "patients with CVD" is changed to "CVD patients" throughout.
In my view patients shouldn't be defined by their disease- they are not 'CVD patients'
Furthermore pts are multimorbid and so it would be incorrect to call them CVD patients as they are likely to have other conditions that are more prognostic/ impactful to their wellbeing than CVD.
Rant over 😂 is this a bug bear for anyone else?

@AaronTuNZ Police only required to secure the property after the fact, but like others have said we are not usually equipped to force entry (unless you love online shopping for tactical pens…)

@ParameDocUK @cliffreid In some instances, there may be a single clinician/person working on a transport ambulance, if this is the case, the vehicle *ideally* shouldn’t be used to transport patients.
English

@ParameDocUK @cliffreid Transport Ambulance = ambulance with capacity to transport a stretchered patient
Non-Transport Ambulance = crewed by a clinician with supervisory, clinical, rapid responders responsibilities, but does not have capacity to transport stretchered patients.
English

Sending two clinicians in a transport ambulance to every EMS call is a ridiculous squandering of an overstretched resource and makes no sense whatsoever

Ok, what’s your unpopular opinion in medicine that will get you in this position?
