@drlauraduggan so excited to hear you #ASM21MEL
(I loved MacGyver growing up. Convinced our science teacher to watch instead of Quantum btw)
#MacGyver bias suggests blindness to ones own invention/jerrymandering.

Medicine does have a fear of failure #ASM21MEL. 3rd wave in Canada is devastating

44% of SARS infection in Ontario were #hcw. #PrecautionaryPrinciple is key to managing little understood disease. (Listening #ICEG?) @drlauraduggan #ASM21MEL

@drlauraduggan #GetusPPE shortage of PPE was another stress early on in the pandemic #ASM21MEL

Intubation boxes a prime example of #MacGyverbias - better than nothing. But it wasn’t - prolonged intubation, increased exposure to aerosols. Two Aussie papers highlighted this
#ASM21MEL

Not a complete failure as led to a change in thought processes of how to mitigate aerosols, ventilation etc , theatre ventilation @drlauraduggan #ASM21MEL

Over 2000 papers in aerosolising. (Apparently ignored by #ICEG)
#ASM21MEL

How to MacGyver successfully. Archie Brain had a 30 yr timeline to do this for LMAs
Need to balance safety with swift timeline. #ASM21MEL

We CAN do it by #breakingdownsilos ; collaborate with each other - different specialties, basic science experts & citizen scientists E.g. Covid Emergency Airway Collaboration; Covidsurgcollective
@drlauraduggan
Heed her clarion call for collaboration now #ASM21MEL
Wow! @ANZCA
