Aaron and Rebecca have formally launched a petition to the Queensland Parliament, asking Australia to change its standard of care so tracheostomy ventilation is offered to MND patients who want it. Rebecca is upfront: it won't change the...

PO intake encouraged. Patient highly compliant ☺️ #doctor #vacation #icu #medicalhumor

Today is World Patient Safety Day, and safety doesn't end when a patient leaves the ICU. Surviving a stay in intensive care is only part of the story. What happens after matters just as much. 🏥 Dr. Sahar Ahmad,...

When you know too much… and then choose to ignore it and live life anyways 😅 #icu #trauma #medicine #criticalcare #medicalhumor

Mallampati score in the negatives…? 😅 #medicalhumor #icu #anesthesia #intubation

If you're preparing to make this case for yourself or a family member, don't go in with hope alone. Go in with documented evidence, a clear ventilation and airway management plan, a staffing model built on 24/7 critical...

A tracheostomy delivers ventilation through an opening in the throat instead of relying on the nose and mouth, and it can add years to a patient's life. In Stephen Hawking's case, it added decades. Princess Alexandra Hospital in...

And with treat- I specifically mean give anti-pyretics too. There’s a lot of literature on this, but for your further reading I recommend: - the SCCM guidelines which suggest to avoid the routine use of antipyretics just to...

Decisions like the one Princess Alexandra Hospital made are rarely overturned by emotion alone. They're overturned, or avoided altogether, with strong documented clinical evidence of what life with a tracheostomy and 24/7 critical care nursing really looks like....

May all your lactates clear in my absence ❤️ #doctor #outofoffice #vacation #medicalhumor #icu

The evidence from Germany, the example of Stephen Hawking, and the lived reality of clients like Ian Haywood and Andy Taylor all point the same way: tracheostomy ventilation for MND, backed by 24/7 critical care nursing at home,...

Intensive Care at Home supports MND patients who choose tracheostomy ventilation at home with 24/7 critical care nursing in Australia. The reasoning used to deny Aaron this surgery doesn't hold up against decades of international clinical evidence. I...

Australia offers voluntary assisted dying for people with terminal illness, but there's no equivalent choice for MND patients who want life-extending tracheostomy ventilation. We've built a legal, funded pathway to help people end their lives sooner, but not...
