When stratified by triage category, First Nations people had both higher admission rates and worse outcomes then the general population. An eye opening article.

Let Mr 4 sleep from 4-6 this afternoon because it was convienient for me, and now paying the price for past Meβs poor life choices. Will I learn from this? History would suggest not. Luckily heβs fricken adorable, like a human labrador puppy.
Rescued robot vacuum from peril only for him to determinedly plunge straight back in. So basically another toddler in the house.
Itβs nice here. π
The first pertussis vaccine can be given at 6 weeks in Australia. My understanding (not including this case) was that there had not been a death of an infant from pertussis whose mother had had a 3rd trimester jab, but have not confirmed this.
This is devastating news.
In my βI can definitely fit one more plant in the cargo bikeβ era. Hop in besties!
Gosh Iβm on brand tonight. Home from work (late) at 11.48pm, eating leftover cake while logging into 11 year oldβs ipad to maintain his Duolingo streak while heβs on school camp. Ich bein ine gutte mama.
Welcome to another Australian medical institution! π #medsky
It is now indisputable that pregnant women needing emergency care are being allowed to die in states that have banned & criminalized abortion
Yet somehow itβs fine to ask π€° trainees / faculty to travel to these states for medical conferences or miss out on professional opportunities? #idsky #medsky
Itβs a war on anyone who can get pregnant.
POV: youβre 4 years old, thereβs a minor flood in your back yard, and you find a frog and give him a ride on your toy boat. Does it get any better?
For the amphibiophiles, itβs a striped marsh frog.
Well they had me at brainwormsβ¦
It was the increasing amount of open Holocaust denial that was the tipping point in me leaving X.
Platforms come and go.
Relationships grow.
We didnβt go to a particular platform for the platform itself. It was about the community. Most will find a new platform that meets their needs.
And, look who I just found joining the Defectors- my dad! He had 15k+ followers on Twitter built through genuine engagement and pushing back against Trumpism and is now starting from scratch, so if you like left leaning, poetry writing, rugby tragics who will always reply to you, give him a follow!
Welcomeβ¦ with the magnanimous confidence of a grade 1 kid showing a preppie around the school playgroundβ¦
Delighted to see you here! Let the #medtwitter exodus continueβ¦
Oh this is so lovely. So clean and unpolluted.
Like taking a drive out from the smog of the city, climbing to the top of a hillock and sharing the vista with old friends and new.
Raising a glass of hope in the sunshine of sharing.

I kind of enjoy emptying the chamber in my stick vacuum and marveling at all that fluffy filth, so
I guess thatβs similar?
If you want to hear me yarn for a few minutes about how rad Antarctica is have a listen to this interview I did this afternoon on ABC RN Drive:

Great reflection, thanks for sharing. Hard agree on maintaining ownership of resus and critically ill patients within ED. Our hospital has introduced a formal program where FACEMs spend regular time in theatre to maintain airway proficiency, which has helped us kept that expertise within ED.
Happy to share an invited article I wrote looking at what
#EM in Australasia can learn from the #NHS for Emergency Medicine Australasia.
This was part of a discussion on the future of emergency care in Australasia in the EMA.
