Thank you #cicm2023asm and what a brilliant heartfelt speech from Dr Penny Stewart reminding us of why we all and the medical colleges in particular need to be active and vocal supporters of the voice referendum and #ReconciliationWeek
Brilliant breakfast session by Martina, Mary and Emily at #cicm2023ASM lots of great discussion on exam success and failure. #getyourducksinarow

Everyone who banged pots & pans, painted 'Thank You NHS' on trains and postboxes, put kid's 'Thank You Nurses' art up in their windows and waved when that bizarre 'Thank U NHS' spitfire flew overhead should now #SupportNurses in their fight for decent, helpful change. @NurseSayNO

Going out for lunch by yourself should not attract a look of pity from the waiter when asking if i was waiting for someone else. And sitting at the bar by yourself with a book while food is brought is one of life’s great pleasures…he’ll learn.
A brilliant thread - it’s ok to talk about dying and death. It’s the one thing we are all guaranteed to experience.
What can we learn from the death of the #Queen?
The world has watched her live through the process of #OrdinaryDying, and yet dying went unspoken, un-named.
Let's notice what nobody mentioned: we all saw the Queen going through the stages of ordinary dying.

Thread : Hello fellow cisgender folks! If you only glance at trans 'issues' in Aust. news because you’re focusing on other stuff more : here's a quick breakdown of the current misinformation that's been fed to you by Murdoch, Ninefax & whoever t.f. is writing ABC Media Watch /
Listening to latest @OffMenuOfficial and now I want @ProfBrianCox to be on the next series of @taskmaster just to see him try to make Saturn out of a poppadom
The mental health of doctors is at breaking point in Australia too and I’ve already lost too many of my colleagues. There are so many things that need to be fixed but a memorial acknowledging those we have lost might be a nice start
A brilliant thread. As someone who has been called aggressive and demanding on more than one occasion I wish people would be more conscious of their language

One line I hear in medicine that I hate almost more than any other is ‘just turf to gen med’. It’s dismissive of the patient and disrespectful to general medicine as a speciality. But it’s ubiquitous and perpetuated by seniors and surely not ok
