How do you describe the position you put a patient in for intubation?

• 'the sniffing position’?
• 'win with the chin'?
• 'first pint position'?

@chrimesy.com & @timcook.bsky.social propose a new term - 'flextension'.

Your thoughts?

An academic report has found the Voice referendum normalised racism and increased hostility toward First Nations People - just as No campaign desired. (I’ll never get over my anger at the No campaign - particularly Dutton, Price and Mundine. Callous and cruel people).
