Trying for weeks to get through to @ato_gov_au on the phone and keep getting "we are in peak demand period and can't answer your call". I even wrote them a letter and put in post and no reply. Is there any time of day / week I can get through on the phone?

I don't love everything about being back in Australia but I really really do love a #DemocracySausage and the mass participation in democratic events.

So whose Christmas is COVID cancelled? 🙋
My brother is visiting me. Tested positive 3 days after arrival. We cancelled our interstate travel plans to protect parents and grandmother. Turns out Nanna is positive anyway.

Hey #medtwitter. Over at EM:RAP's rightonprime.com podcast I'm looking for some new voices to mix into our generalist segment. Are you an amazing family physician who has skills beyond the primary care clinic? Are you a great speaker? Get in touch or nominate a colleague!
Here's some examples of what we do:

Even just reading this abstract is making my heart race. I had an awful work event this year and it ticks every single one of these boxes; perceived preventable, high emotion, sensory input, prior r-ship, lack of support, investigation proceedings. No wonder I'm so traumatised.

Help, #medtwitter!
I'm heading back to the rural emergency department after 5 years away (I've been doing primary care, urgent care and obstetrics instead). So tell me, what's changed in emergency medicine clinical practice in the last 5 years?

And most people (public and health workers) still believe that reinfections become milder each time. Epic fail of risk communication.

Even if it's none if those things ...
Complimenting someone for weight loss tells them that they are more valuable as a person in a smaller body than a bigger body. Which is a pretty awful message to send.
Ok I'm feeling conflicted about something. I love birds, but have a family of swallows living in the ducting of my kitchen exhaust fan. I feel a bit gross about them living above my stove where I make food but also they're just trying to get by in this cruel cruel world. WWYD?

Dr Clara Tuck Meng Foo "the brave thing is almost always the right thing"
Wow. What a statement. I'll hold that with me for sure!
(As an aside, my consultations with transgender and non-binary patients are some of my most joyful.)

@lizcrowe2 asks about how we vote with big emotional events in our career
For me, I have coped much much better when I feel like I've been supported by the team. Feeling isolated / abandoned with a major clinic incident feels so much worse.
