Just had a middle aged male patient point at my (now starting to be obvious) pregnant belly and say “oh someone’s been a bad girl and been kissing boys” 🤢🤮 How is that an appropriate thing to say to any woman, let alone to your doctor?! #WomenInMedicine

I tweeted about strep today. It seems like the feeling of “I have strep” seems to be a common presentation of Omicron. Minimized is the loss of smell and taste from the prior variants. Take a scratchy throat seriously. This is likely your initial presentation of covid

The pandemic is not over and the vaccine rollout isn't done. We must improve communication with vulnerable patient groups and heed vital lessons from the challenges general practices faced during the rollout this year #COVID19 #vaccine

Here's a table comparing NSW cases and vaccinations.
On the left shows % of cases in the past week by age group. Raw numbers population adjusted for fair comparison (so older age groups % not lower due to lower population).
On right shows % fully vaccinated by age group.

Gladys Berejiklian has resigned. Christian Porter remains in federal parliament.
I can’t help but feel there’s one standard for male leaders and a separate one for women.

#MedTwitter #gptwitter can anyone recommend great courses for a GP wanting to upskill in women’s health esp perinatal care, breastfeeding medicine and supporting new mums/bubs? These pts make up huge part of my practice and would love to gain more expertise!

NSW: 53% double dose, 82.5% single dose. Monday October 11 firming as freedom day. @9NewsAUS

Wish we would stop kidding ourselves about “80%”. It excludes almost all kids and is in fact only 64% of the Australian population. #qanda
