performers and non-performers in the singular service of economic growth is not the path to human

It’s vindicating to see that an independent review found no evidence of systemic Medicare fraud by doctors. GPs just want to deliver great healthcare to a community in which chronic conditions are on the rise. …/1 theaustralian.com.au/nation/…

Completely overwhelmed by the love in this big #hgsa2022 genomics room. In 2002, I attended my first HGSA as a wide eyed GC student. Couldn’t have imagined being the first GC to present the Sutherland lecture 20 yrs on. So grateful to everyone, especially my amazing team 🤩🥹🫶🏻

I’ve been thinking about the ‘doctors defraud Medicare’ piece for hours.
It’s my considered view that it’s a shitty piece of investigation.
Not because doctors don’t defraud Medicare - a minority do; this is abhorrent.
But because most of what’s in the piece isn’t fraud.👇🏽

A phone consult today lasted 45min. The rebate-$39.75 ($25.80 after paying the practice).I can’t hang up after 20min on someone in crisis. I can’t charge someone living on a pension under the poverty line. (1/2)

Have just learnt that my grandmother’s nursing home waited 8 hours between recognising stroke symptoms and calling an ambulance. They left her for a whole day unable to speak or move. I am so angry. In what world is this acceptable aged care? #MedTwitter #agedcare @Mark_Butler_MP

AusGov: spends 4 years developing an evidence-based 100 page national medical workforce strategy with extensive consultation and community input
Also AusGov: completely ignores entire strategy and assigns workforce budgeting by throwing darts in the dark #auspol #Budget2022

- med students being told their role is to carry the hand sanitizer
- a dr reporting sexual harassment nicknamed 'The Reporter' by teammates
- being advised not to report unacceptable behaviour because nothing would be done
