If a farmer presents to ED, they probably need resus. Likewise, if an Australian country doctor calls retrieval service...”you’d better fucking go”.
At the Children's Hospital in Melbourne I got a referral call from a tiny hospital hundreds of miles away out in the sticks
The guy said 'Just fucking come' & put the phone down
When I told my boss he just said 'Well you'd better fucking go then'

Researchers: “we’re developing a blood test for driving while sleepy!”
Everyone working in healthcare:
‘Blood test for sleepy drivers could pave way for prosecutions’
Healthcare workers working nights, new parents, menopausal women… implications are huge for those who sleep less than 5 hours. Taxis, public transport would to be improved.

Australian hospitals needed to publish a public warning that contrary to popular myth, first aid for snakebite does NOT include chasing the snake, catching it, and bringing it to hospital with you.
