Fed-up doctors at a major ED are wearing slogan T-shirts over their scrubs to highlight staff shortages and overcrowding they say puts them and patients at risk.

At least 30 doctors from Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH) donned T-shirts emblazoned with “Hospital overcrowding harms you and me” and “We need space to keep you ‘safe’”.
