Written consent from a patient for a remote/virtual Telehealth is about the most ridiculous thing yet from the bureaucrazy
Worse-it has the potential to shut out the most vulnerable from Telehealth.
Those who can’t afford technology or who can’t use it=the most disadvantaged.

The problem with the term ‘lifestyle’ diseases, is that they are so highly linked with poverty. People only have the choices available to them, which is why it is so key to make health about community not individuals @sarzberry theage.com.au/lifestyle/heal…

Many diagnostic tests are not 100% accurate – even in the era of big data and machine learning, they never will be.
As @aidybarnett + Nicole White (@QUT) write, it's partly because people are inherently variable, and tests can be built on limited samples. theconversation.com/tests-th…

People who fall for false information tend to be overconfident in how they think—not just what they think.
Data: those who overestimate their math & reasoning skills are more susceptible to conspiracy theories.
Critical thinking requires a healthy diet of intellectual humility.

Having spent a lot of time studying the biology of ageing and frailty, I firmly believe that people do die of old age. Excellent article on why we need to recognise this as the population ages.
Death in older people can be a consequence of the natural processes of their decline in biological old age, and there is no need to impose a pathological explanation, writes Dr Will Cairns

For years, I raised concern treating AFib detected by watches may not avert stroke/save lives.
RCT out now shows anticoag after detection by implanted devices (more accurate & higher risk pop) leads to more bleeding without significant benefit.

Suggesting that training up a whole bunch of new doctors to address this issue is only one half of the coin.
You need to ‘retain’ those who know how the system works too, rather than just throwing ‘fresh meat’ on The Grinder.

In the world of metastasing item numbers, over-governance & underfunding there is a proposal to add an item number for domestic violence. Adding item numbers with tiny carrots in them won't work. Here's why. medicalrepublic.com.au/why-a…

I do hope countries that deny vaccination to children <5 years take heed of this study and so many others showing vaccines protect young kids. Vaccine was 80% effective vs no vaccine in preventing emergency department or urgent care encounters. Bivalent vaccine more protective than monovalent. cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/m…

About one in six pregnant women in Australia are now diagnosed with gestational diabetes.
