Of all the traditions and lore associated with Saint Patrick’s Day, one has always stood out: the story of how Saint Patrick drove all of Ireland’s snakes into the sea. 🐍🍀
Ireland is one of the few places on Earth where snakes can’t be found in the wild, but for us here in Australia we have plenty of snake variations, and RBWH emergency consultant Dr Jake and pharmacist Shannon are on hand with antivenom in the case of a bite!
"In the emergency department in a locked cabinet, we carry antivenom for brown snake, tiger snake, and polyvalent snake which can be used to treat several venoms," Shannon said.
"After assessing the patient, and blood tests, we determine which antivenom is suited best."

Liver disease is common and affects over 1 in 3 Australians, according RBWH staff liver specialist Dr Enoka.
She says that lifestyle factors such as alcohol, obesity and diabetes are increasing the amount of liver disease seen in men and women including both older and younger generations.
“Over time, conditions that cause liver damage or inflammation (such as obesity, excess alcohol consumption, viral hepatitis and autoimmune liver disease) can lead to liver scarring, called cirrhosis. Cirrhosis can lead to liver failure, a life-threatening condition,” Dr Enoka said.
“During the early stages, liver disease does not cause symptoms. So, if you have risk factors for liver disease see your GP for a liver health check. If diagnosed early your GP or liver specialist can talk to you about treatment to improve your liver health and prevent the development of cirrhosis.” 🩺

RBWH physicists in cancer care, Tanya and Scott, have recently led the writing and editing of a new book detailing their impressive 3D printing radiotherapy experience.
Working closely with medical colleagues across the country, as well as right here at Metro North's Herston Biofabrication Institute, Tanya and Scott have shared their knowledge and experience of 3D printing in cancer care to assist other healthcare professionals and medical minds of the future.
"I like to think that our multidisciplinary team is a model for other departments wanting to set up a clinical 3D printing service or achieve collaborative clinical implementation of any other type of novel technology," Tanya said.
"An appropriately resourced clinical 3D printing service has the potential to benefit radiotherapy patients and staff, by improving patient comfort and treatment accuracy in cases where existing commercial alternatives are inadequate, and by fostering a clinical team that is excited to design and create new solutions," Scott added.
#ShoutoutSaturday 👏 to the team behind 3D Printing in Radiation Therapy in the hope of helping patients all around the world.

Cassidy and James got to take baby Laurelai home from Caboolture Hospital recently, after a whopping 255 days in care! 🍼
The 22 year-old parents have juggled various hospital stays as well as looking after their 3 year-old son, since Cassidy's waters ruptured at 20 weeks and 6 days, where she was rushed to Caboolture Hospital.
Baby Laurelai was then cared for in the RBWH NICU having been born at just 23 weeks and 4 days, as well as the Mater, before returning to Caboolture Hospital for her final hospital stay.
"She's so smiley and it all clicked for my husband and I having her at home," Cassidy said, on being together in their house finally.
"I had a lot of support from family and friends so I could go between my son and hospital, so it is great to be together and feel whole again." 🤗
