Melbourne's experiment with e-scooters is being blamed for a delay in improving safety. Neurosurgeon and representative of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, Doctor Patrick Lo speaks to Rebecca Maddern about the painful dangers of e-scooters. #7NEWS

@Rebecca7Maddern Wonder what Dr Patrick thinks about car crash victims diverting resources from other patients?

@Rebecca7Maddern This but for injuring and killing people Too busy focusing on the mote to see the planks

@Rebecca7Maddern Oh ffs

@Rebecca7Maddern Now do car accidents……yep car accidents…..shitty driving killing over 1000 Australians 🇦🇺 every year…..ill wait ⏰

@Rebecca7Maddern Cars cause 11000 excess deaths/yr in 🇦🇺 just from tailpipe admissions-why don’t you report on that? Or the ongoing tragedy of head injury fr car accidents?? I’m a surgeon & this guy does not represent me or a balanced view of the harms of transportation, which are mostly fr cars.

@Rebecca7Maddern Hi all, What are the stats re the painful dangers of the 'motorists in cars' experiment?

@Rebecca7Maddern Why aren’t they outraged by the lack of safe cycling and scooter infrastructure on our roads? Perhaps Cara are the problem and not the scooters?

@Rebecca7Maddern Where’s the data? Why aren’t you weighing the benefits as well as costs of e-scooters?
