If your weekend plans include binging The Pitt, the latest Emmy-winning TV show set in the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Centre, then you`re not alone - even Dr Sean, Director of Emergency at RBWH will be doing so! 🍿
The show is proving popular with the general public and our ED team alike, with many parallels to what our emergency and trauma teams deal with each day.
Sean reflects on a day in the life for our emergency staff, which can be very busy depending on who needs help.
"One of the reasons people choose to work in emergency is because we don`t have a `normal` day, and no two are ever the same," he says.
"The afternoons and evenings are always buzzing, at RBWH we are the leading trauma centre but also the stroke centre for North Brisbane, and remain busy tending to all the other emergency presentations too.
"An important part of the care we provide is not just treating the patient clinically but keeping the family up to date and supported - and we are all trained to do this, but also have our amazing 24/7 social workers who support loved ones during what can be a difficult time."
#ShoutoutSaturday to our incredible emergency teams, our real-life The Pitt stars! 📺⭐
Gina has a fighting spirit that won’t let her become one of the 51 per cent of ovarian cancer survivors who don’t make the five-year mark. 👊
As the deadliest cancer for all women, and with ‘everyday life’ symptoms that don’t immediately spark concern, it’s important that we know what to look out for and always seek extra testing to detect ovarian cancer as early as possible.
Gina caught her cancer at Stage 4, and with the help of GynaeOncology Clinical Nurse Consultant Tara and the treating team at RBWH, she’s now in remission, with an important message for all women - know your symptoms and advocate for yourself.
AI is everywhere, but don`t let Dr Google or your social media feed replace the advice of a medical professional, especially when it comes to medication!
TPCH Pharmacist Assistant Director Erin says that it is vital for patients to ensure they are alerting their treatment team of any non-prescription or alternate medicines they are taking and to only take medication advice from trusted sources.
“Many patients don’t think of these kinds of products as medicines as they don’t require a prescription, however these products may still interact with other medicines and/or medical conditions,” she said.
“We are finding more and more patients are using Dr Google, artificial intelligence tools and social media influencers for important medication information, but these platforms are not a substitute for health professionals, so it’s important not to rely on them for advice as it may be incorrect and potentially harmful." 💻
