Hi Terrance, thank you! The work will definitely continue, our supervisor (senior author) is very passionate about this area and improving care. I was involved as part of my medical degree for the research component, but was a great area to work in contribute to.

In 2026, I will begin work as a NSW Health junior medical officer in the Hunter New England Local Health District. I carry quiet pride, deep gratitude, and a strong commitment to service, research, and community into whatever comes next.

Ultimately, this journey led me to believe in myself, that I might be able to become a doctor who brings research, clinical care, and community together in a way that serves our people and works toward true equity.

This foundation led me to focus on children’s ear health research and community-led work, and to becoming part of the Wukul Yabang Aboriginal Health Community Research Panel, who continue to guide what meaningful impact should look like.

My path into medicine came through research. Completing a #PhD shaped how I think, how I question systems, how I understand the world around me, and it helped me understand the person I want to be in the future.

I am especially thankful for the patients who trusted me and taught me so much; the doctors and medical professionals who gave their time and created opportunities for me to learn; and the communities who made me feel welcome.

Graduating as a medical doctor carries responsibility as much as pride. Standing with my family, partner, and mentors who have shown what leadership and true service look like in medicine grounded me in why I started this journey. None of this is individual achievement. It is collective.

There were times I neglected important parts of my life, times I wasn’t there for the people I care about, and times I was a bad son, partner, and friend. To each of you, I humbly ask your forgiveness. I have made it here because so many people believed in me, backed me, encouraged me.

I’m really proud of this milestone. It has been incredibly hard work! But I am not here because of effort alone, I am only here because countless others paved the way before me. People who challenged the elitist nature of medicine and fought to we reflect each of the communities we serve.

Day 3 of #AIDAConference25, the final day. Wow what an experience! Amazing hear how far we’ve come since the beginning of the Australian Indigenous Doctors'​ Association. The day included keynote presentations, panel discussons and workshop activities.

This work is more than just a lab project, it’s part of a broader movement to create long-term, culturally responsive solutions. We’re utilising samples from local children, collaborating with global leaders in ear disease, and embedding Indigenous governance with our Wukul Yabang community panel.

This research, completed as part of my medical degree, compared long-term outcomes (>1 year) after decompression alone Vs decompression with fusion surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis. Both surgeries substantially improved pain and disability scoring, but fusion was not superior.

Guy Cameron @guycameron.me · 30/06/2025
Does every patient with lumbar spinal stenosis and high-signal facet joints need spinal fusion? 🧵 Our new study says no, not always! A simpler approach might be the way forward for some patients in the Hunter New England Local Health District. www.doi.org/10.1007/s005...

How many duplications does it take to get a paper retracted? @wiley.com's Liver International thinks that 10 duplications are still not enough, and issued a correction, just deleting the offending figure 6. Unbelievable. pubpeer.com/publications...
Two figures from this paper, Figure 6 and 8. Each figure shows 6 columns of 4 rows each, with panels showing red, green, and blue fluorescent cells on a black background. I have added brightly colored boxes to highlight duplicated panels.

8) For me, the key takeaway was this: Aboriginal communities are not passive recipients of care. We’re leaders, knowledge holders, and innovators. ENT professionals need to meet us with respect, partnership, and a willingness to change.
100
Guy Cameron @guycameron.me · 30/03/2025
7) We also discussed how climate and environment impact ear health: humidity, overcrowding, poor housing. These aren’t extra issues. They’re central to prevention and care, especially in regional and remote areas. Yet these factors alone don’t fully explain why some kids suffer from ear infections.
100
Guy Cameron @guycameron.me · 30/03/2025
6) As an immunologist and researcher, I spoke about the microbiology behind ear infections and how our research can (and should) centre Aboriginal perspectives. That means community-led projects, and clinical trials that don’t exclude our mob. It’s baffling there aren’t good alternatives to surgery.
100
Guy Cameron @guycameron.me · 30/03/2025
5) We imagined what real change could look like: Aboriginal-led ENT clinics, funded long-term. Pathways for mob to enter and stay in ENT, audiology, and speech. And research driven by community priorities, not just academic curiosity.
100
Guy Cameron @guycameron.me · 30/03/2025
4) We didn’t shy away from calling out racism, whether it’s the parent who isn’t listened to or the child who’s misdiagnosed. Cultural safety isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a responsibility for everyone working in ENT.
