We already know #nurses are saints, but this raises the bar.
After a dash to @RNSED yesterday (thx @NSWAmbulance) I found myself next to an old bloke who hadn’t eaten. He told his nurse how lonely he was, so she stopped what she was doing & pulled up a chair... 1/2
Seeing the impact at our workplace today I can only imagine how the hospitals in Sydney and my own alma mater RNSH is faring. Be patient and kind to each other. Ramping up yet again is not easy. I’ve already had one lovely nursing colleague ask #RUOK just to check in #COVID19Aus
Shout out to the Emergency Dept at Royal North Shore Hospital. Last night, they dealt with my agonising pain kindly, compassionately and efficiently. All for no charge. Public health care rocks.
Emergency clinicians now have easy access to guidance on emergency medical procedures at the point of care, with the release of the Emergency Procedures App. Access the web-based app developed by @nswaci’s Emergency Care Institute: emergencyprocedures.medapps.…@eci_nswaci@NSWHealth

Flu vaccine has never been so important! @RuralDoctorsAus and @ACRRM are reminding people that you absolutely don't want to get the flu on top of #covid19australia. Contact your local medical clinic to make an appointment as soon as it is available.

I report about health almost every day. But it’s overwhelming the impact that simple moments of kindness of care can have on you, like the care I received from a nurse at Royal North Shore Hospital when I had a bad reaction to a test. @nswnma@NthSydHealth@BradHazzard
FACRRM Dr Sandi Dawson spent her youth in the Cape York Peninsula, and it was the attraction to rural living, combined with the realisation that she could potentially follow in her mentors’ footsteps that encouraged her to undertake RG training. >> bit.ly/2skgXgj
“The world Is filled with unintelligent people with so much overconfidence and intelligent people with so much self-doubt; I have something to say for the intelligent people with self doubt - get over it.” - Dr Bob Brown 🙌💪😆 #ACEM19#ACEMvolunteers
Favorite Peter Rosen quote: "Nobody woke up this AM and decided to ruin your day. Don't get angry at your patients. Don't get frustrated. Happiness is YOUR choice."
RIP Dr. Rosen, the father of EM.
