The thought of long COVID is rather depressing right now.

Thinking of all those patients with #delirium in hospital watching tv, and who are getting disoriented by the erratic and inconsistent programming, the duplication of programs on different channels and the plethora of “encore” programs. 😣😳

I've worked in the same clinic for 20 years now. I never thought I'd be in one place for so long. I had a few thoughts on being a GP for a long time in the @bjgp.bsky.social bjgplife.com/how-long-doe...

Just to reassure people, Peter Dutton has as much chance of leading the Liberal coalition to victory as I have of becoming the Pope He's spent the past 3 years grabbing headlines without putting in the work on substance & policies and now it's coming home to bite him A guaranteed failure of a man
Peter Dutton, dressed in a tight fleshy coloured human mask, stands in front of a lectern at last night's televised leaders' debate in front of a red ABC NEWS logo and a blue Australia Votes logo. He has his glasses in one hand as the other hand touches his head to adjust the zipper set into his skull on his human-suit.

If I may briefly get on my soapbox: We're only healthy until we're not. And then it's nearly impossible to go back to the before times. The default state of human existence is death and disease. Every day of life and good health is a medical miracle. We must recognize that it's a daily fight.
