This is one of the Situational Judgement Tests (SJTs) that final year medical students in the UK sit. It is worth 50% of their mark. And I can confidently say it is RUBBISH. What is this appalling #presenteeism and frank workplace #bullying? 🤨
Sort it out, @gmcuk. 👎#MedEd

Please watch. We must reduce transmission - 3rd/4th doses, N95/P2 masks & a clean air strategy. Plus, antivirals for those infected & at high risk. Most people are unaware of much of this, & of the risks of infection for themselves & others. Our strategy is wrong. #COVID19Aus
Covid infections and deaths in Australia are higher than ever this year, so how does the country 'live with COVID', while so many people are ill and the situation seemingly isn't getting better.

Other things I advise friends to do: 1. Take notes. It focuses Drs. And 2. Learn a few words of jargon in their specialty. “So Doctor what’s my left ventricular fraction looking like?” “So Doctor have you got the histology back?” Then watch how the conversation changes.
