@mmamas1973 Diagnosing new IBS in a 69 year old should be a massive red flag. But PAs don’t have that wealth of experience to see what a strange diagnosis that would be. They just see symptoms and try and match them up without any appreciation of their context.

@SecretPhysician This is the thing - for all the PAs and their advocates claim that we're picking out a tiny handful of cases, all we've really uncovered is the tip of the iceberg. Can guarantee there'll be so many other cases like this up and down the country. PAs don't belong in primary care.

If this story is true (The Age usually has good sources) then Sutton needs to go. School closures til November - especially in light of recent data from UK on school transmission & long Covid - is not the action of a CHO acting with child health in mind.

Sutton, senior Victorian ministers disagree over school return ahead of road map release

A group of ministers has been pushing for a return to school early in October for some students but CHO Brett Sutton advised that it would be safer to wait.

What use is the modelling if it’s known to be inaccurate? You seem to just be confusing many of our worst suspicions about Burnet.

@thomasforth The fact 100k seems to be viewed with the same reverence as when I was in sixth form in the early 00s seems to say a great deal about the country's progress since.

Someone from @piersmorgan 's staff asked if I would like to come onto Pier's show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, to talk about the state of his attire. Since he invited feedback, I thought I'd do a thread comparing his style to menswear icon Kermit the Frog. 🧵

@michaeljswalker It was always, obviously a massacre of civilians Michael. You don’t get to rewrite history like this. You saw innocent civilians getting massacred and you glorified it. This will forever be to your shame.

@survivingjackie @BallouxFrancois @nolesfan2011 Vaccination reduces the risk of long Covid. And - particularly in vaccinated patients - long Covid will be similar in most cases to long symptoms of other viral resp illnesses - cough, fatigue lasting several weeks past the acute illness. Not something to upend society for.
