Remembering Dr Ed Brentnall. Ed was a pioneer of #EmergencyMedicine in Australia, an innovator in many things today's Emergency Physicians take for granted. Ed inspired so many of today's medical leaders. Passionate to the end, he kept me on my toes. Rest in Peace, old friend.

Aaarggghhhh!!!!! The inability to provide care in the ED is a result of poor flow out of the ED due to inadequate hospital and health and social care capacity. It’s not due to the ‘wrong’ patients or staff not caring. We must move away from this narrative!! #c4dispatches

One of the hardest things about Emerg is how many things are some variation of “this algorithm for rule in/out RareThing sucks. You have to consider RareThing for every <common presentation> & rule it out because you can never miss it. Only CT rules it out. But don’t over-CT.”

https://t.co/hmLxdVFyyb… this has been going on for 20 years. A MAJOR rethink of healthcare is needed. More of the same won’t work. Move to community care, not hospital-based care needs to happen

My learning for today - frequent ingestion of honey or jam may reduce oesophageal injury from button battery ingestion while waiting for endoscopy https://t.co/8Ur8pQEqeb
