JMO - Anesthesiologists are trained to remain cool, calm and in control while all hell is breaking loose around them. They are often the ones taking charge during a code blue or other emergency. They can get intravenous access, intubate a patient, perform all kinds of heroic medical procedures...

Forensic testing reveals human remains found in Coffs Harbour belong to woman in her 50s

Typical disgusting Daily Fail journalism...their description of the Housing Department flats as putrid-smelling, cockroach-infested etc is calculated to evoke a particular image in the minds of the readers and make a judgement about "the type of people" who live there. Because they are Dept of...
Channel 7 has a history of wrongly identifying people alleged to have committed crimes, and then being taken to court for it.
I prefer to wait until news outlets other than Channel 7 and the Daily Fail state something.
Typical Daily Fail article - preoccupied with the type of houses in the suburb, whether they are rentals or not, and descriptions of the "type" of suburb or development it is. I'm just surprised they didn't list the dollar value of the house.
Reading coroners' reports is one of my favourite ways to waste time online. Makes fascinating reading and before you know it, an hour or two has passed.
Maybe someone (allegedly) murdered him and then tried to cover up the evidence by setting fire to the cell?
Purely my opinion and speculation.
Anybody who dies in custody becomes the subject of a mandatory coroner's inquest. A report regarding this person will eventually appear on the...
At least he was in contact with a doctor, and was reducing his medication with her knowledge and advice, and actually seeing the doctor every now and then. (Until he wasn't.)
This is rare for people with schizophrenia. Mostly they just refuse to take their medication, and stop coming to see the...
Licence revoked? For what? For agreeing to see how the patient goes without their medication for 6 months, and then the patient moves interstate and becomes uncontactable, and never attends for follow-up? If the patient is not involuntarily detained, is not on a Community Treatment Order, has no...
I agree.
Security guards at the shopping mall are not armed. They are not being paid to be seriously injured or die on the job. They are mostly there to prevent shoplifting and defuse altercations between (unarmed) customers and staff members.
When I heard that the hero with the bollard was...
As if the Ballarat area hasn't suffered enough tragedies in the past couple of months, this just happened.
(Clunes - the same place that Hannah McGuire was from.)

Sebastopol is a suburb of Ballarat. According to Wikipedia, it was named after Sevastopol in Crimea. Australia participated in the Crimean War (1853-1856) as part of the British Empire.
During that time (1850's) the Gold Rush was taking place in and around Ballarat, which would have been a...
I don't know if this is correct or not, but I have heard people say that if there are snakes in an area there are unlikely to be lizards there, and vice-versa. I think they compete for the same kind of habitat, food, etc.
This just appeared on a news website - relates to the disappearance and death of a woman in 2022 which is currently the subject of a coroner's inquest. May have some relevance to Samantha's case.
Coroner to recommend Victoria Police train cadaver dogs after search delays for SA woman Colleen...
Note that there were public warnings and product recalls. Affected stores cleared strawberries off their shelves, people were asked to return strawberries to the store or dispose of them if they had purchased affected brands, and if they had purchased other brands, to cut them up before eating...
I work in a very "agricultural" area on the eastern outskirts of Melbourne and I have heard "on the grapevine" that sales of mushrooms are suffering and stores are having whole shelves of mushrooms untouched when other produce is sold out by the end of the day.
Echoes of the "needles in...
She used to run the small-town newsletter. She would be used to writing articles and editorials, using flowery language, padding and embellishing sentences to meet the required word count.
That may be all it means here - someone who is good with words and likes to use a lot of them.
(And I say...
