Tim Leeuwenburg I called Neurosurgeon 2000km away about a pt with ICH, described pt and CT…. Got accepted for transfer. I got an angry text 1 hour later asking where the patient was…. My reply….

One of the most common mistakes people make in learning about obesity is a myopic focus on hunger vs. satiety. The homeostatic system is but one circuit involved in a much larger weight regulation system. I discuss more here: x.com/MichaelAlbertM…

There has been some nonsense published about the way GPs are paid to do mental health work. Here's the truth. When you see a GP about your MH they you get rebates from Medicare 2 ways. GPs can bill medicare the same item numbers used for physical health. Or they can use MH ones

In all this talk of Medicare & diagnoses & evidence & AI it's easy to forget what MH is about.People come to us because they hurt & they need us to hear their story & help them find meaning in it. This is what it is like for me in GP. An everyday privilege bjgp.org/content/71/713…

As a GP: I'm very good at a few things I'm good at a number of things I'm good enough at most things I'm not good enough at some things Knowing this keeps me sane & keeps you safe I look things up, ask others for advice & refer when appropriate Doing my best in a complex system

I don't get it. Policy decisions around Medicare reform seem to go like this. 1.Govt effectively reduces the Medicare rebate over decades, assuming that GPs are too compassionate to charge patients who can't pay. Most GPs pay the gap between the cost & rebate themselves
