If you wondered whether #GenderBias is real, complete the sentence. 'amid a growing recognition that women's pain should be treated'... ...rather than what? Letting us suffer? Needlessly adding barriers to healthcare? Dismissing our concerns? πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€

I know TG well enough to spot the sarcasm at ten paces 🀣. But it's true- the belief that women's pain is 'normal' is ingrained in medicine. Women get praised for being tough and uncomplaining, but sequelae include trauma, avoidance of care, and late diagnosis. πŸ˜–πŸ‘Ž #MedTwitter

Rhea Liang The dismissal of cervical pain was rationalised by claiming that there are no nerve endings in the cervical tissues & so it wasn’t possible to β€˜feel pain’. I suspect that this is the underlying reason why there was resistance to providing pain relief.

So proud of the Aussie voting public, who saw right through the 'Can't Actually Work Together' Coalition, and their 'Woman Problem' (or more accurately, Man Problem). #Auspol

Rhea Liang It's the same with post-surgical pain. Some people, often females, have to be in tears before they receive appropriate analgesia. When discharged from the hospital, they feel like they are hung out to dry.

Rhea Liang If practitioners would just take note of the patient's body language and act accordingly, we would not be in this shamozzle with endo now, but address it seriously and start early. Pain is not normal. Untreated, it can take over people's minds and bodies.

β€œ...it was the quizzical look on my face that told the tutor I needed help. AI can’t recognise that.” As a counterpoint, some learners find it *easier* to disclose learning gaps to AI than their trainer. Thoughts #MedEd #MedTwitter? bmj.com/content/389/bm…

Such a treat to see Dinesh Palipana OAM, ED registrar, open the QLD Medical Student Council's annual ED team competition Bond University. Such a pleasure to be one of the judges, and biggest congrats to the winning UQ News team and James Cook Uni who placed 2nd and 3rd. πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

A warm, dry dusk tonight over the Gold Coast. I'm thinking back to our recent cyclone and of everyone experiencing flooding further south right now. May this view, and those floods, remind us again why #sustainability matters. πŸ’ͺ #ClimateChange 🌏🌳

'There are over eight billion people that call this planet home. There are seven of us that can say the same for International Space Station. What a privilege it is to be here.' 🌏 Incredible photo from Don Pettit on the ISS, using an orbital star tracker to take out the motion streak.

Incredible creative thinking and teamwork. With road access cut off and all helicopters deployed to emergencies elsewhere, cancer patients isolated by the devastating NSW floods received their medical supplies by drone. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ 9news.com.au/national/drone…
