I think it’s worth remembering that bears are still really dangerous.

Some of my favourite photos are of the aurora taken by astronauts on the ISS. I think of them often as a reminder that everything has a different perspective.

@twsoh We could still use 500 billion of infrastructure funding in the outer east. Or even a part of that 500 billion.

Instead of governments building hospitals in inner city areas where no one lives and no staff can afford to live - what if they invested in suburban health services where patients and staff actually live?

@shanelta The Parkville hospitals are fab, staffed by great people. Glad you had a wonderful experience.

@rpcounat We should have at least one major trauma centre not in a dumb area.

@rpcounat I think all the Parkville funding should be diverted to the actual population centres around Melbourne.

TL; DR - patients despise travelling to Parkville and many of my patients have avoided necessary medical appointments and care because they hate travelling into that hell hole of narrow roads, too much traffic and no parking. (And no they don’t want to or can’t take a train)

@iamemilymayo - oh look the medical records crashed, the computer decided to update the second I turned it on, or other tech issue - I’m on for drop off and a kid could NOT be gotten moving despite my telling them repeatedly that their 15 min costs 20 people 15 min all day

Do any other novelists idly wonder what ended up happening to characters in their own book?

Nailbed injuries are over treated. Most squished fingertips just need a band aid and time.

@ask_aubry Please delete this. I’m a long time follower but this is a shocked and grieving dad; the parents came out early with statements full of care and grace (including wanting to make sure the cop who killed their son was ok); the facts on intent are not known.
