Unscrubbed Ep 3: Healthcare Hot Topics.
Round-up format. Joe and Jake walk through the topics shaping Australian healthcare in May 2026 — GP workforce, Medicare, private health, hospital pay, AI in practice. Pairs with the long-form post.
Patient-education explainers, procedure walk-throughs, and clinical perspective pieces — mirrored from YouTube so they are searchable here as well.
A long-form clinical walk-through from Dr Coory on the Mako robotic-assisted total shoulder replacement — how the CT plan becomes the surgical plan, what the robot is doing in the operating theatre, and the technical tips refined across the first cases on the Sunshine Coast.
Each video is also published on Dr Coory's YouTube channel. The transcripts are mirrored here so the content is searchable, citeable, and accessible without sound.

Joe and Jake host Panacea AI to walk through where clinical AI actually is in 2026 — the medical scribe, radiology, decision support, and the AHPRA framework. Pairs with the long-form post.
The first episode of the practice podcast. Dr Coory and his subspecialty-trained nurse practitioner Jake introduce the show — the combined-clinic model, the questions patients actually ask in the rooms, and what we are going to do with this conversation. Pairs with the long-form post.
A patient-facing explainer on the frozen shoulder — what is actually happening inside the joint, why time is part of the treatment, and when injection, hydrodilatation or capsular release earn their place. Pairs with the long-form essay.
The glenoid-track concept (Yamamoto/Itoi 2007; Di Giacomo/Itoi/Burkhart 2014) in visual form. Why an off-track Hill-Sachs explains the Bankart that re-dislocates — and why the answer is often a remplissage.
The surgical management half of the instability series — Bankart, Latarjet, and where remplissage fits in. Pairs with the age-at-first-dislocation essay and the remplissage deep-dive.
The intra-articular view of a chronically retracted rotator cuff tendon — the picture behind a difficult repair decision. For surgical colleagues, fellows, and clinically curious patients.
The first in a series. The anatomy of the unstable shoulder, the diagnostic decisions, and the reason age at first dislocation predicts recurrence more than any other factor.
The next frontier of cuff repair is not technique — it is the biology of the tendon being repaired. A clinical walk-through of nutrition, metabolic optimisation, and the intra-operative augmentation options that are moving from novelty to standard. Pairs with the Singapore and Sydney course notes.
Why a retracted cuff tendon is a different operation from a freshly torn one — how the tendon, the muscle, and the patient's biology change with time, and what that means for the repair decision. For surgical colleagues, fellows, and patients with a chronic cuff tear.
