The inaugural editorial for the South Australian Journal of Medicine (SAJM) is now live.
“The Case for the South Australian Journal of Medicine” outlines a vision research culture across SA.

The term 'fusiform' means 'spindle-shaped'
This means pointy at the top and bottom and wider in the middle
Many structures in the body can be described as fusiform
I don't actually know what a spindle is or what it does
But I do know when stuff is fusiform and so should you
Got back from my run and my daughter snapped a hair clip onto my back hair
How's everyone else's middle aged Saturday morning?
A broken system due to perverse incentives.
In Australia, these drugs would be $60 BEFORE the being discounted by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme
Absolute disaster
Wife accidentally bought *organic* bananas
Had to re-mortgage the house
Can never go back
This is your reminder that doctors do not "pledge to do no harm"

What happens after we allow patients with poor swallows to eat and drink what they want?
We looked at our outcomes after "comfort feeding" had been instituted in hospital
When comfort feeding was commenced in hospital patients:
42% died in hospital
50% had died at 13 days after commencement
75% had died at 1 month
Readmission was pretty rare
ALSO, when an Australian says their banh mi costs $11, that means they can walk in with $11 and walk out with a delicious spicy sandwich
When an American says their banh mi costs $8.50, they're not including tax and tip of 25%, which would make their lunch cost...
Basically $11

There is much-needed good news for SA's ailing public hospitals. The Lyell McEwin will open an additional 48 beds all of them in single rooms but the premier admits it is no silver bullet. @AKunowski #7NEWS
Checking every profile who posts about Raygun, to make sure they're an Australian
Shade from other nations won't be tolerated
This is Australia's moment

Empty the jails of non-violent drug offenders to make room for all the people who use their phones without headphones.
When a patient says they're just old (and they're right), I'll say:
"I'm sorry, I don't have a tablet for that."
I'll sometimes whisper the epilogue:
"... and if I did, I wouldn't be here."
I worked with a kinda folksy middle-aged #FamilyDoc who would say ‘I know what your problem is…#TooManyBirthdays’
