I, like many GPs, bill patients and pay a fee to the clinic to use my room. I get no sick leave, holiday leave, long service or superannuation. In what universe could I be considered an employee?! @timpallas @MaryAnneThomas @georgiecrozier @96mitchclarke

I made a similar point to a couple of local GPs today in a small house party. I subsequently enquired about supporting #POCUS education and accreditation to #PrimaryCare. My wife has accused me of running a Ponzi scheme….

Ever had trouble finding a foreign body after making your incision? Terrible feeling. Better idea: use #POCUS for foreign body localization with a needle, then cut down w the needle as your guide. Tactile feedback as you see and contact the FB is helpful.
