You need to read this if you think fragmenting the complex work of GPs is a good idea.
Or that 10-12 years of intense training can be replaced with a course of a few weeks and an algorithm decision aid.
@stephenjduckett @markbutler @SophieScamps @brookmanknight a genuine question. Let’s say the system behaves like it’s designed to do & GP dies. We are endangered now, with not enough replacements coming in to keep the species alive for long 1/

Partialism in medicine - the way of the future?
Who needs a Rural Generalist ‘Swiss army knife’ when you can have multiple partialists, each doing own part of the medical field
Great debate @ACRRM @RuralDoctorsAus #RMA22
Arrived in Canberra for #RMA22 and my Fellowship Ceremony.
It’s going to be action packed few days with #RuralDocs of AUS.
It’s been a while with all this COVID craziness, but finally off to #RMA23 for my @ACRRM fellowship ceremony! Can’t wait to catch up with #ruraldocs again.

Crisis. Why can’t we course correct now? Pushing on without change or a lockdown NOT only alternatives. These recommendations from OzSAGE deserve discussion and debate. Action needed to reduce case load & in turn reduce stress on hospitals & supply chains ozsage.org/media_releases/ma…
Basic Treatment for Mild Disease #COVID19
🛌 Rest
🍜 Eat well and keep your 🚰 fluids up
💊 Consider Paracetamol & NSAIDS (Ibuprofen, Aspirin, etc).Don't forget a supply or a plan for your regular meds/inhalers/etc
🥦 Antioxidants & Immune Support (Vit C, Vit D, Zinc) may help
🍯 Cough syrups, lozenges, etc may also make you feel better, but don't kill the virus.
🌬 Incentive Spirometry: may help you use more lung
🙇 Proning (lying face-down on your belly) whilst you sleep & even when you're awake - this can help to get more oxygen into your blood
My Short Guide to #COVID19 Preparation in FNQ.
Step one if you have not already, you have got to acknowledge for better or worse this is Happening.
🦸 Rather than being scared, it's better to prepared! 🦸♀️
🧪 Test if you can (RAT or PCR), but don't stress if you can't straight away. The above still applies and if you're sick at the moment you've probably got COVID.
📣 Notify your close contacts (e.g. family / friends / coworkers) so they can make their own plans
📉 Monitor & 📝 Document at home where possible: 🥵 Symptoms (bit.ly/3G3u3zD), 🌀 Pulse Oximetry, 🌡 Thermometer, 💓 Heart Rate.
👩⚕️ Seek Medical Advice if symptoms are getting worse.

…pretty much describes bizarre situation in Australia - massive tyranny of distance, retrieval times often hours…relatively low treatment ceilings of ambulance volunteers rurally - and yet STILL no integration of Rural Generalists into trauma response - we need a BASICS system

How would an advanced #POCUS guided sepsis resuscitation algorithm look like? Albeit this is pretty nephrocentric, I believe this is what we are heading towards. Feel free to comment! @Thind888 @ThinkingCC @khaycock2 @msiuba @PulmCrit @iceman_ex @Wilkinsonjonny
