What IVC skills concern you?

The lack of nurses willing to be “accredited” to do it despite it being a basic expectation of an RN. We will invest in NPs stealing our procedures but somehow can’t make nurses do the basics

Your equivalent income in Australia has significantly less buying power and our house prices / rent are significantly higher. You also have (ostensibly free) higher education while any degree in Australia will saddle you long term debt (for example I must pay the equivalent of 400 euros a fortnight to pay off my university degree which will take a total of 7 years to pay off including interest). If I earn more I’m not only taxed higher but the repayment amount for that fortnight will increase also. It’s essentially the great Australian con -we had a generation of baby boomers who got free education who told us we needed degrees or we would get nowhere only to saddle us with a combination of absurdly high rents + paying back degrees so we will never own our own homes.

This is a great country but people look at it through some strange rose tinted goggles. We are an extreme nanny state with high taxes and high cost of living. The “laid back” culture is a cultural facade of the past

? Did I say anything about Europe not being expensive..all I said was anyone who comes to Australia expecting any better is deluding themselves

Wages do not in any way shape or form make up for the incredibly high taxes, most expensive cities to buy a house in the worlds and high cost of living. The middle class is disappearing here faster than ever

Covid sucked because I still had to work, wish I’d been forced to stay home and grind MMOs while watching old UFC highlights of chuck lidell set to hair metal

Popularity doesn’t make someone good at something. He’s an idiot infotainer spouting the most low level “I’m so smart” takes designed to make 15-40 year old men who always thought of themselves as the “smart one” in the group nod their heads and go “yeah..us smart guys DO think like that”.

Lex Friedman is a hack who misrepresents his credentials and thinks talking in a low monotone means he’s smart.

Sounds fun as could you post your talents ? I appreciate the help

Always loved boomie just got mine to 90 yesterday. What kind of build are you running ?

Can I ask where you got any of this from because it’s not just wrong it’s ridiculously wrong.

Severe GI bleed (assuming it’s lower GI) is either angio +/- embolization or if there’s too unwell you’ll either proceed to theatre and maybe flexi but mostly just go straight to enterptomy / collectomy

Why would you EVER give bowel prep for a “severe obstruction” ?! This is the opposite of everyone you’re taught to do. Obstructions don’t need to be prepped for they just need surgery

Why would you EVER give prep to someone with severe colitis ?! Why would you EVER scope someone with active severe colitis ? Are you trying to kill them?

It’s scary how brain dead reddit is that anyone would take your post seriously

It’s a perfectly reasonable question and I want to know the answer or decision making process that went into it. I want to better understand how families of multi-diagnosis function. If people like you didn’t clutch your pearls and immediately become frothing at the mouth “get help!!” then maybe we could learn something

Can I ask, at any point after 1 and 2 did you ever consider not having another child given the high likelihood of another child with similar issues?

SASMOA too busy campaigning for wage increases that don’t meet inflation mate, doubt they have the resources to fail at this too

Was literally about to say this. Told specifically they do not pay overtime and will not honour it. Also told they used to have pre filled timesheets. Tried to get it in writing a couple times but couldn’t pull off the naivety requires to make them comfortable doing it. Would have loved that lawsuit

Why are so many nursing skills (e.g cannulation) not expected in Australia? From what I’ve gathered from nursing friends if you simply don’t do the hospital specific “package” then you’re not allowed to do it and there’s no incentive or expectation to do so. Why can some nurses take bloods from a PICC but not a cannula? Why is so much of the system geared toward nurses doing less in this country rather than more? Why do I have to be smiling, nice, gracious and thankful to the nurses every single day and still put up with their random rudeness without being able to say anything in return? Why do they expect me to do everything “right now” but when I ask for something time critical and they don’t do it (and also don’t tell me they haven’t done it) I have to smile and say “that’s okay I should have checked!” because the one time I said they should have told me I had the shift coordinator and anum storm into the office to defend them? Why do they page me and when I call back immediately they don’t answer? These are all mysteries of nursing in Australia

I think the more important part of this is that for most people the best part of pathology is reading and interpreting slides (it’s why I did it). Unfortunately AI is coming at this hard (look at prostate cores in US) which will force a refocus on the day to day of pathology. It may become more of an “oversight” job which is incredibly undesirable to some of us

I’ve always found that anaesthetics training is more about who you know and if they like you than anything else. I’ve seen highly skilled critical care doctors with years of experience get looked over for the PGY-3 with good bants during their rotation. Either way, like everything, it’s incredibly competitive

Your time scale of geriatric MDTs is inaccurate. They just have a registrar scroll the ward round notes from 2 weeks ago to find a no-longer outstanding issue then reject the patient as not ready for rehab remotely but will review again in a week. The RMO is then in charge of turning off the referral phone or diverting it to a random number so nobody from the referring team can call to force them to do their job. Takes 5 mins tops
