Great to see @theracp.bsky.social announcing a new position statement around illicit drugs and advocating for decriminalisation. Stopping the cycle of harm through keeping people out of jail and supporting them in improving their health makes so much more sense. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12...

For those in the Northern Hemisphere wondering what we are talking about here… Australia seems to have settled into a pattern of 2 big Covid waves a year, with the summer wave just as big (if not bigger) than winter waves. And summer in Australia starts in 2 weeks…

Position statement from ANZ Thoracic Society showing multiple ways to reduce environmental impact of inhaler therapy. Reassess diagnosis, switch away from pMDI if you can, reduce dosing schedule, recycle. Has there been an environmental prescribing guideline published Brett? #medsky #respiratory

I went back to search for a paper I bookmarked… and noticed the guardian has eXited. The replies were interesting… and I suddenly realised what it was. It was the upset a bully feels when they lose access to their victim. Guardian is just an example. They are doing that to everyone. Breathe…🧘🏽‍♀️

So HSE Ireland have put C19 into their risk factors for blood clot. It will be some time before it’s integrated into our scoring systems… like Wells… but it will be… and we will continue infecting the kids at maximum rates will we?
