2/2 Telehealth does facilitate this window into the context of my patient: the in-car seclusion from family, the cigarettes protruding from mouths, the children screaming/running in the background. All valuable info, usually hidden from me in the clinic. Not the same as F2F. Different.

This article mirrors my experience, not as an Emergency physician but as a General Practitioner, a Primary Care specialist. Much of what I do isn't "what's the diagnosis?" but "how can I help?". 1/2

I'm pleased the headline didn't mention "fentanyl". I hear that merely reading the word can provoke an overdose. Especially if you are a police officer.

Nice to see McSweeney carry his bat.

I do when appropriate. The vast majority of neck lumps are not health threatening. To investigate all would overwhelm our health system. These lumps shouldn't be ignored either. See your GP for an assessment. #GPsecrets

Govt of the belief that gambling advertising reform was not important, but social media changes were. Odd priorities as one of these has NO benefit to children.

Nice choice of colour matching to keep it interesting

I suspect this says more about the doctor's self esteem than it does about the GP's referral.

I will be vicariously attending #Gp24 via 🦋 if that helps.

Yep. It’s a mess. I've got patients now self medicating with illicitly sourced meds - increasing the risks.

I like the instant 'blurring of the profile upon blocking' feature. Nice touch @safety.bsky.app
