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.
Replying to @stephenjduckett
@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

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…

…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

This clever door design legitimately had this doctor trapped on the aged care ward for quite a while tonight.

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

#GiantSteps19 ..sounds like a great meeting. One thing we need to discuss is how we refresh/renew/revive medical leadership. I am increasingly convinced the hospital unit directors/NUMs should have to reapply at 5 years and move aside at 10. Too many in jobs for life..thoughts?

Can I just point out the fact that this @julesantosER #FOAMed video is approaching half a million views? Wow. @codachange
Watch this great video showing the Modified Valsalva Maneuver converting a patient in SVT to Normal Sinus Rhythm If you’re not doing this, you’re not doing SVT right! Video courtesy: @julesantosER #FOAMed

Makes so much sense. I see rural EDs as a fantastic place to train generalists for all streams/colleges. Be good to have some way to acknowledge sites that invest in providing high quality education in order to provide high quality care – at Adelaide, South Australia
