The risk to the surgeon is the same in all other surgeries - ie. cutting yourself etc, although in Ortho theatres there can be good splashes which can throw fluid up over your head. You should always wear a face mask that has a visor or sep

Removing screen time is new science and has not been widely propagated. In fact, I am not even sure if it’s been published. I have been working with one of the Australian leaders in concussion (Perth based emergency doctor) who strongly adv

That’s the best thing I’ve read on the internet this year. I hope you’re at least as naive in age as your comment implies

It’s quite generous to say that Australian capitals have very good rail systems. They exist, sure. Patronage (especially in sydney) has been growing at a huge level (partially due to the traffic nightmare, a side effect of the geography). B

That's a deep question, I don't think they mix well and this isn't my area of specialisation. I generally try to avoid receptor mashing so try to stick to one thing unless work absolutely demands it (I also think it's ve

Medicine, as an applied science, consists of a spectrum of fields between areas that are largely ‘engineering’ and areas that are largely ‘art’. Surgery, for the most part, is something more like engineering/science, where we have most

it’s an inspiring story for sure, and a good reminder to experts to curb their arrogance and keep an open mind. It’s also worth noting that by about midway through the process he was largely an expert in the field, and who cares if he was s

The leading example of modafinil is erroneous. Modafinil works by at least 3 mechanisms. Part of the complexity is because we don’t yet fully understand how and what causes sleep; or why it is so necessary that without it you will surely di

I can't tell you how bad UI design is in existing EMRs. Last night I spent 15 minutes trying to get FirstNet (a Cerner system) to accept a medication order so I could discharge a patient. The problem? Inconsistent UI. - Firstly, th

It wasn’t my co working space/I wasn’t working there and I suspect it would have been buried in the t&cs. I was in wework in sydney at the time and re read our t&cs, my reading was that they could probably do the same but it wa

The character Sax is asked to describe his belief system, and he says, essentially, that it is haecceity, the this-ness of things, that is his belief system, and I thought that was awesome. If you haven't read them, you have to!

It has meaning if you think it has meaning, it doesn't if you don't think it does. You say it has no meaning but then you say you won't end your life because it will cause suffering for people you love. So immediately it has

The real answer to this question is we don’t know, because we don’t fully understand psychosis. We know that drug induced psychosis is different from schizophrenic psychosis, and we understand that schizophrenia is really a degenerative con
