In a world where GP is bashed, a lot, @timsenior.bsky.social finds the value bjgp.org/content/75/7... This line in particular got me: The consultations I have had with these patients aren’t consultations of 15 or 30 minutes. They are consultations of 2, 5, 10 years, split up into 15-minute chunks.

I've worked in the same clinic for 20 years now. I never thought I'd be in one place for so long. I had a few thoughts on being a GP for a long time in the @bjgp.bsky.social bjgplife.com/how-long-doe...

Timely call to act on child poverty. Dr Louis Peachey: "We are more frightened that we may give a benefit to a parent we consider undeserving than the consequences of letting their child grow up in poverty. Child poverty shames and diminishes us all." www.croakey.org/a-timely-cal... #SDOH #AusPol

Truly wish the world's media could be even half as outraged at Israel's extermination of the Palestinian people, as they are at trade tariffs.

Things that *should* be a big issue in the Australian election but sadly won't be: - Climate change (even though our election was delayed by massive floods) - Indigenous rights - Inequality - Poverty - Our treatment of asylum seekers - {NEW!} Our relationship with the US

Hello new followers. It's a while since I've posted. But we have an election coming up in Australia (yeah, rmember them America?). Health is going to be a big issue in the election - well, how much people pay to see a GP is going to be a big issue in the election - so I'll try to post a bit more.

We've got repeated claims in Australia of $8bn of Medicare fraud, which are totally wrong, but that doesn't matter if it can be grist to this particular mill

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.
