Agree. Real men:

Accept responsibility

Act with integrity

Defend women & children always, no matter the personal cost.

I won't start ranting about it because I just get myself worked up, but quickly: I literally can not think of an investment of public funds that has a higher return than *cleaning the indoor air in schools*. It's so easy, so cheap, & has such HUGE payoff. Criminal that we basically don't do it.

You were fortunate to survive that length of wait. One in 82 don’t if I remember the data.

It is so good to know that things like this exist in the world

Yes it’s hard and the community helps.

I spent the last 4 days at a medical conference with 800 critical care doctors. I saw zero masks but mine.

And stating the obvious, none of this will improve until aged and disability care, hospital care and community health care is all funded and managed as an integrated whole rather than across layers of govt. It is all connected. The pandemic highlighted this, and no lessons were learned - again.

Dumping NDIS participants in Emergency Departments is becoming increasingly common. But they don’t get admitted to the hospital as there is often no acute issue.

So they stay in ED for days whilst social workers desperately look for alternatives. Appalling care and another stressor EDs done need.

As a doctor, I have been really angry about this!

That’s why we’re so pleased to welcome the International WELL Building Institute to the Making the invisible visible campaign - a global call to action to treat indoor air quality like the public health priority it is, and make the air safer for everyone to breathe.
