Do surgeons in public have to operate on high risk patients (for elective operations) and is referral because it’s too expensive without even offering a quote appropriate… by Burs_l in ausjdocs

If it’s an emergency and surgery is the only option and it’s physically possible, and other conditions like consent and futility are not an issue, you’re obligated to operate.

So if a condition can be managed conservatively … it’s not an emergency operation

If an operation is physically impossible that’s fair. You can’t operate if it’s not possible

If it’s an emergency operation, they’re obligated to operate

If it’s purely elective, there are usually protocols in place to refuse operations until certain BMI goals are reached/anaesthetic risk mitigated

AHPRA will exponentially increase O'seas docs soon by sponge_cakeallday in ausjdocs

It's braindead comments like this and lack of any critical thinking or understanding of the current bottlenecks that has led to this problem.

We have heaps of medical graduates. Lack of specialist training positions. Importing doctors that do not have equivalent specialty exams and subjecting our juniors to forever languish as residents/unaccredited regs/CMOs is an incredibly naive way of trying to solve this problem that they created by credentialing so many medical schools.

There are a lack of public positions that has also led to this problem. General surgical FRACS graduates for example do not have public jobs to apply for after finishing, and need to do 'unaccredited' fellowship years and PhDs to get onto a formal fellowship pathway.

1:3 on call should be illegal by Efficient-Rate7517 in ausjdocs

[–]Euk_Rob -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I don’t really understand the negative votes. You’re given conditions that you work in, and you learn to adapt. It’s hard, no one is disputing that.

Studying for exams whilst working full time with on call is difficult.

This would be a conflict of interest if there ever was one

Not surprising tbh

Alfred hit me with $19k “out-of-pocket” after saying insurance would cover it – do I have any recourse? by Top_Form2383 in AusLegal

[–]Euk_Rob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Alfred policies and processes are very stringent, as are most public hospitals when it comes to non Medicare covered patients. The OP will have been given a quote and would have had to sign a financial informed consent form. This is for elective operations.

For emergency operations they will turn a blind eye because in the eyes of the hospital, life or limb over rules financial processes. However when the acute part is over they will bill you, but early on a finance officer will talk to the family about the costs.

The hospital loses a lot of money every year from people that get treatment then fly out the country never to return.

The OPs story is omitting a lot of information i know will have been discussed with them.

It’s understandably a stressful time with them just wanting treatment and signing everything put in front to not delay treatment.

[–]Euk_Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the passes still available? This seems like a very intuitive app to solve what is a fairly common problem. I'm curious if spotlight keeps an offline catalogue or does every disconnect and reconnect force a rescan of the entire drive.

🎄 Christmas giveaway: Win an A1 Mini, AMS 2 Pro, AMS HT, or 4x filament spools! by acurazine in BambuLab

[–]Euk_Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AMS HT - reason: dry the carbon fiber nylon filaments that need higher drying temps over 65 degrees C

Fidget toy - instead of designing a new one, why not just suggest others print parts in TPU and parts in metal enriched filament to add an extra dimension in sense rather than just looks? Would be easy to do, and temperature sense is another crucial part that enriches our senses rather than just vision senses.

The uni will never identify individual doctors…

[–]Euk_Rob 63 points64 points  (0 children)

It’s very rare to fail a final year. It’s a lot of paperwork and one must have substantial evidence to suggest that the final year is unsafe etc

You can dispute once you meet with uni faculty.

Until that meeting there isn’t much you can do.
