			<description><![CDATA[<p>With so much to learn in so little time, managing LGBTQI+ patients isn’t yet high on the priority list at medical schools.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Dr Asiel Adan Sanchez is a GP and clinical tutor at the university of Melbourne. He knows first-hand that <a href="https://www.medicalrepublic.com.au/making-healthcare-safe-for-gender-diverse-patients/86794" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">clinical environments can be off putting for people who are queer, trans and gender diverse.</a> He’s also created a solution for that called Wavelength: a learning tool that builds clinician skills and makes general practices safer for LGBTQI+ folk.&nbsp;</p><p>Dr Sanchez gives a quick masterclass on the simple and practical ways to take away the awkward interactions that occur in many medical environments. They say a very common example is when taking a sensitive history and asking about gender affirmation procedures.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>“A lot of clinicians really struggle with asking those questions and often the language that they use is quite inappropriate. ‘Have you had the operation?’ for example. A patient might get this question all the time outside, in the real world, and if you don't explain to the patient what the rationale behind asking those questions is, it can be really distressing for them,” says Dr Sanchez.&nbsp;</p><p>Dr Sanchez provides a graduated approach to inquiring about <a href="https://www.medicalrepublic.com.au/national-guidelines-care-transgender-kids/15262?utm_source=website&amp;utm_medium=listings-search&amp;utm_campaign=gender%20affirmation" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">gender affirmation surgery</a>, after building rapport through simple ways such as using correct pronouns.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>“I often tell medical students to fall back on the skills that they already have around cultural competency to build that rapport with the person. For example, you might be talking about work and family and what the patient does at home. Then you can ask ‘By the way, are there any pronouns that you'd like me to use?’ And that's an organic and simple approach,” they say.&nbsp;</p><p>Wavelength training module is now managed by the Australian Medical Student Association (AMSA), which is advocating to incorporate the content into Australian medical school curricula.&nbsp;</p><p>Medical student Sophia Nicolades has researched the LGBTQI+ health curriculum gap.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>The number of spinal fusions performed in Australia has skyrocketed over the past few decades, with the number of privately funded procedures far outstripping those done in the public system.&nbsp;</p><p>Spinal fusions, which help stabilise the spine by surgically joining two or more vertebrae together, can be used following traumatic injury, or to help correct scoliosis in children. But the most common use for spinal fusions is in degenerative conditions of the spine.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>This episode of The Medical Republic Podcast explores when this procedure should be considered, and why we are seeing such a large increase in the number of these procedures being performed.&nbsp;</p><p>Dr Ashish Diwan, director of the Spine Service at St George Hospital in New South Wales, says there are several considerations to be weighed before undertaking a spinal fusion, including the duration, intensity and frequency of back pain; whether other treatment options have been tried; and what the patient wants.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Dr Diwan has sympathy for GPs with patients who are considering undergoing a spinal fusion, which is far from a straightforward decision: “It's like trying to get married. If you're in doubt, don't do it.”&nbsp;</p><p>The decision not to do surgery can be equally challenging, according to Dr Diwan.&nbsp;</p><p>“There is also an incredible lack of evidence as to what you do for a person who continues to suffer. The alternatives [drugs, spinal cord stimulators or radiofrequency ablations] are not very clear … none of them stack up when you start dealing with people who have pain of a chronic nature.”&nbsp;</p><p>There are many reasons for the spike in the number of spinal fusions being performed, according to Professor Ian Harris, an orthopaedic surgeon and researcher from the University of NSW.&nbsp;</p><p>“There is an aging of the population, but [now] there are more so called ‘indications’ for spine surgery,” he tells the podcast. “The techniques of doing them have developed in a way that there's now lots of different ways you can do spine fusions.”&nbsp;</p><p>Several reasons also exist for why more privately, rather than publicly, funded procedures are being done. But Professor Harris feels the inclusion of MRI scans on the MBS is glaringly obvious one.&nbsp;</p><p>This presents a fine line to walk between using imaging to rule out potential pathologies and jumping at shadows and operating unnecessarily on age-related changes.

Before packing your passport and mosquito net&nbsp;tune in to The Medical Republic podcast to hear from two guests who might make you reconsider.&nbsp;</p><p>Dr Andrew Browning has been doing fistula surgery in Africa through the <a href="https://barbaramayfoundation.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Barbara May Foundation</a> for around 25 years. He says its life changing for patients who start to live normal lives again after the deeply distressing injury caused by obstructed labour. However, Dr Browning says a donation that funds local health workers may better support outcomes than a short-term volunteering stint.&nbsp;</p><p>“When you're there for a short term the people don't know you, you don't know them. You don't know the culture, you don't know the way things work or don't work.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>“The people there are very polite, very long suffering and will put up with you for the time that you're there. Then as soon as you leave, they just go back to their normal ways,” Dr Browning says.&nbsp;</p><p>But if you're still keen Dr. Browning said there are some spaces for shorter term volunteers if you have specialised in obstetrics, gynecology or midwifery.&nbsp;</p><p>“Around 40% of these girls have been suicidal or attempted suicide with this injury, a hundred percent of them are depressed. And when you treat them they just turn back to be normal, happy citizens,” Dr Browning said.&nbsp;</p><p>It’s the kind of heroic work that many doctors dream of, says rheumatologist Dr Rob Baume. After a bout of professional burn out, Dr Baume considered medical voluntourism but ended up not buying a plane ticket after all.&nbsp;</p><p>“When I did a bit of more research, I found that unless you have a specific specialties such as anesthetist or an obstetrician, you need to sign up for nine months. The other part of the equation is that I don't speak the language. Then there’s also the cost, the health risks and the risk to your life,” he said.&nbsp;</p><p>Instead of volunteering himself, Dr. Baume has just raised $1 million for healthcare&nbsp; in developing nations through his charity, <a href="https://twicethedoctor.org.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twice the Doctor</a>.&nbsp;</p><p>Dr Baume said that research by Dr Greg Lewis shows that if a doctor wants to make maximum impact on the world, it doesn't matter which specialisation they do.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>“What matters is that you give a fair bit of your income to third world causes,” Dr Baume said.&nbsp;</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>The latest episode of The Medical Republic podcast is a special insight into female parts across the age spectrum.</p><p>We speak first with Associate Professor Melissa Kang who was, for 23 years, the iconic Dolly Doctor in Dolly magazine – the Australian teen-girl’s bible for many decades.</p><p>Professor Kang said that teenagers want to know how to navigate the health system and that young women are keen to talk about sexual health but need the GP to raise the topic first.</p><p>“Research has also told us that young women want GPs to bring up the difficult topics. They want GPs to introduce the topic of sexual health or sex or intimacy,” she said.</p><p>Professor Kang said that creates a bit of a mismatch because GPs often feel that those topics are too personal and sensitive.</p><p>“They are waiting for patients to bring it up themselves, whereas young women are saying, “No, we want GPs to do it!”. So, as doctors, we do need to create that space,” Professor Kang said.</p><p>We also talk about whether young women’s health concerns have changed over the last few decades. Professor Kang said that young women have more health knowledge these days but that some concerns are enduring.</p><p>“The stigmatization of their bodies and their sexuality. I don't think that has changed an awful lot over the decades that I've been working with young people as a doctor,” she said.</p><p>Dr Talat Uppal, our second guest, also that even midlife women experience taboo and shame about their bodies and that their health concerns are often minimised. She said that if a woman says she's having pain, even from a point of view of ischemic heart disease, they are more likely to be “fobbed off” by doctors than men.</p><p>“It never sees this to amaze me how much women put up with prior to seeking care or sometimes they've sought care but they have not been proactively managed as well as we would hope,” Dr Uppal says.</p><p>As a gynacologist and obstetrician, Dr Uppal opened her a multidisciplinary team based care clinic, in Sydney.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>There’s been a swell of advocacy lately around breast density, which increases cancer risk while reducing the sensitivity of mammograms.&nbsp;</p><p>The FDA in the US has recently mandated that women be notified by mammogram providers if they have dense breasts, giving them the opportunity to arrange supplemental testing.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>But BreastScreen Australia’s <a href="https://www.health.gov.au/resources/publications/breastscreen-australia-position-statement-on-breast-density-and-screening" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">2020 position statement</a> does not recommend the routine recording of breast density or the provision of supplemental testing for women with dense breasts.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Professor Vivienne Milch, the government’s medical advisor on screening policy, and Professor Bruce Mann, a breast surgeon and researcher, are two of our guests today in the Tea Room – the last Tea Room before we become The Medical Republic Podcast and go from weekly to fortnightly episodes.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>We also talk to two patients about their experiences with breast density and cancer, who find the lack of notification baffling – and a little bit 1950s.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Dr Sandy Minck, a GP by training and a breast cancer survivor, said she was “dumbfounded” by the BSA position statement.&nbsp;</p><p>“As a consumer I'm outraged. As a health professional, I'm dumbfounded. I just don't understand it.”&nbsp;</p><p>Professor Milch says the program will conduct an evidence review on supplemental screening for women with dense breasts some time this year, although there is no guarantee of a policy change.&nbsp;</p><p>“We're aware of the growing momentum of advocacy and of also some women's desire to know their breast density,” Professor Milch says, adding that different states have different policies.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>“Western Australia has been telling women about their breast density for some time, and then there are pilots in some services in [Queensland and South Australia].&nbsp;</p><p>“We may or may not have a policy change. But we'll be looking at the evidence.”&nbsp;</p><p>Professor Bruce Mann, who works with the Roadmap to Optimising Screening in Australia (ROSA) project, says there is enough evidence to justify a change to BSA’s screening regimen.&nbsp;</p><p>“As women and the community becomes more informed, there is a danger that what is offered by BreastScreen will be seen as insufficient,” he said, which will lead to women opting out of BreastScreen and going private.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>“What we don't want in this country is a two-tiered system where those who know and can get the best, do, and everyone else gets what's offered to them. That's what we are working to avoid.&nbsp;</p><p>“If you can show that by doing something different you are finding more cancers, fewer cancers are being diagnosed between screening rounds, and the stage, the size and the nodal status of cancers that are diagnosed is moving in a favourable direction, I believe that's sufficient to encourage implementation with a planned review in 10 years when the mortality information's there.”&nbsp;</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>What do you get when you cross advice from a health economist with that from a leading physiotherapist? Increased revenue and a better patient experience, say our guests on today’s episode of The Tea Room.</p><p>Scott Willis is president of the Australian Physiotherapists Association and a proud Palawa man.&nbsp;He says better results come from general practices who genuinely embrace allied health as part of the team.</p><p>“If you have social events, invite them.

Increased revenue and a better patient experience, say our guests on today’s episode of The Tea Room.</p><p>Scott Willis is president of the Australian Physiotherapists Association and a proud Palawa man.&nbsp;He says better results come from general practices who genuinely embrace allied health as part of the team.</p><p>“If you have social events, invite them.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Struggling to hang on to doctor staff? This episode offers more than a few gems of wisdom from the most unlikely location.&nbsp;</p><p>Today, The Tea Room travels to Crystal Brook, a rural town 200 kilometres north of Adelaide. There we meet Dr Richard McKinnon co- owner of Crystal Brook Medical Practice – a small-town clinic that is anything but small. After 35 years in this farming community, he knows the hacks to running a thriving practice that allows plenty of time to play golf. The secret, it appears, is knowing how to retain registrars.&nbsp;</p><p>“The current generation, quite rightly and no criticism at all, won't go to single-doctor practices, they won't go to two doctor practices and they probably won't go to three doctor practices. Because it's all about work life, balance and lifestyle,” Dr McKinnon says.&nbsp;</p><p>At Crystal Brook Medical Practice registrars are “really looked after”, says Dr McKinnon.&nbsp;</p><p>“They don't do any more on-call than I do. They're very well supported. And if they want to go and play netball in winter and they're on call, I'll cover them and they'll cover me when I want to go sailing. And the ones we like and who like us tend to stay,” he said.&nbsp;</p><p>Providing great training is another major drawcard for registrars. At Crystal Brook they get hands-on experience assessing and treating conditions, like gout and polymyalgia rheumatica, which in a city clinic would be normally referred to another specialist.&nbsp;</p><p>“I think rural GPs will do more procedures perhaps than our city colleagues because you don't want the patient have to travel 200 kilometres for treatment. And if you're not kind of putting patients at increased risk then we will do those treatments and try to encourage and teach the registrars coming through,” he said.&nbsp;</p><p>Dr McKinnon sees an over reliance on “sophisticated investigations” in current training approaches in large hospitals. He believes this can compromise clinical acumen and the confidence to diagnose and treat some patients.&nbsp;</p><p>“You go to Medical School, in my case for six years of medicine, then four years post-graduate. Basically you've done 10 years training. If you then don't use your clinical acumen, well, it just breaks my heart,” Dr McKinnon said.&nbsp;</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
