Just so we're on the same page,
Rural Generalists are those badass, hold-the-chopper-while-I-stabilise-this-critically-unwell-patient, close to their home, serving a community, saving a tonne of $$, there where they're needed most, type doctors.

Australia is on track to become the first country to eliminate cervical cancer, largely because of a national vaccination program to prevent the disease. bit.ly/4wdz43d

Whenever anyone demands medical schools select the 'best' applicants through an academic score, I think of research like this.
Doctors aren't failing patients because they didn't ace an exam; they fail because they don't know how to be A PERSON and how to relate to OTHER PEOPLE.
It's rare to have 3 years of longitudinal qualitative data spanning the transition from medical student to doctor.
TLDR: the challenge isn't knowledge (or lack of it). The challenge is the necessary professional, personal and social adaptation.

Most shifts half or more of the patients I see have no primary care & this impacts the ED severely.
It’s not because these patients are coming in for minor stuff. It’s because they are coming in majorly ill due to no preventive care/early detection, & I cant get them follow up.

Alarm bells are ringing in the Horn of Africa. Farms are no longer yielding, pests are spreading, and tropical diseases are emerging. Climate change is real, and it’s destroying lives. #ClimateCrisis #GlobalAction

Tell me again, for the 50-gazillionth time, how allegations of domestic violence end men's careers. James Cook University save a male student's medical career - but it left a female student (his victim) out in the cold. Read the story here: tinyurl.com/3e34h4pu

The standard you walk past is the standard you accept.
A med student who violently assaulted his partner, has been let off with a $500 fine. I’m calling for a criminal conviction and a ban from medicine.
Pls share widely 🙏🏻
