“Surgeon under investigation over ‘chilling’ video of him tearing down teal’s corflute: This video is a stark reminder of the breadth of harmful misogynistic attitudes across the community.

“What we saw in that video was not just vandalism – it was a chilling display of misogyny and intimidation.”

A spokesperson for Ryan’s campaign confirmed on Friday that a donation made by (Prof.) #GregMalham had been rejected and his money refunded.

Ryan – a #paediatric #neurologist, #researcher and #professor prior to her political career – said the video was deeply concerning, but not an isolated incident.”

The fact that Ryan worked in the same medical field at the same level (ie: Colleagues) makes this a *targeted* action.

@mackayim2022 for example this quote. “I resigned because I could not follow AHPRA’s mandated compliance with the narrative that the #COVIDvaccine is necessary safe and effective… #AHPRA needs to be bought under federal law so it cannot force health professionals to practice unsafely.”

What a load of nonsense yet here’s the #COVIDenquiry quoting it 🤦‍♂️

I am increasingly disappointed with this report.

@MnlyBeach
Did #ElmerDobak have a regular doctor, a #GP?

If so was the GP confident that Dobak could drive without being a danger to himself or others?

What is #SouthAustralia's law around this?
What does #AHPRA Australian HealthProfessionals Regulation Agency have to say?
Are they just a #PaperTiger?
What about the SA #MeducalRegustrationBoard?
And the so-often-eager-for-publicity #AustralianMedicalAssociation?
Are they only keen on saving lives when convenient?
Much not in the ABC article.

For those Kiwis and Kiwi-wanna-be's scraping by in West New Zealand, the parallel web booking software here is called #HealthEngine.

It has already messed up. But continues in business due to the locals' other-worldliness.
If my priorities were otherwise I'd consider a complaint to #AHPRA
Austtalia Health Professions Regulatory Authority

Complementary medicine in psychology practice: an analysis of Australian psychology guidelines and a comparison with other psychology associations from English speaking countries. Just under 6 months since publication
the paper has 1315 accesses - I am glad this important topic is of interest. Especially as we await a new Code of ethics for psychology in Australia. Hopefully, we will see a flexible and progressive future for psychology in Australia. More research to follow soon. https://bmccomplementmedtherapies.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12906-022-03620-2 #AHPRA #PsyBA #psychologyboard #APS #AAPI #psychologist engagement with complementary and #Integrativemedicine @Ahpra @AustPsych @APsychologists
