It’s winter. The community is full of viruses. The hospitals are overfull of sick medical patients. So elective surgeries have been cancelled and theatre staff are caring for your loved ones in overflow. Theatre staff who aren’t really medically trained. Covid taught us nothing.

Couldnt get a GP appt for my regular script so I used InstantScripts online.
The GP phone appt was a 2 minute wait and it cost me a total of $19. The script was sent to my phone.
Done and dusted from home.

Hubby has arthritis and hurt his back 10/10. Had a yearly appt with Rheumatologist 250km drive away. He asked GP for pain relief to get there. No, change appt instead.
So I dosed him on endone (from my cousin) to survive the drive. Had MRI. Big bulging disc.
GP now believes him, wants to see him.

Oh gosh, after hearing the awful news about a house fire where an infant perished, let us all check our smoke alarms are working - and our families have practiced our fire escape route - and understand little children wont wake up to smoke alarms until they’re older.
Condolences to the family.

Why is it that some of us think in words, and hear an internal dialogue and others of us don’t?
I think in words, and my husband doesn’t.
I cant work out how he thinks without words.

Before I forget, Id like to wish everyone a peaceful Christmas. Its not always a happy day for everyone, it can be painful and lonely.
For those who are just going to get through the day, know you won’t be alone.
For those working, I hope your shift goes smoothly.
Take care of yourselves.

Does anyone know whether there’s a right of appeal against a person who was successful in gaining employment for a position that you know is not yet experienced nor qualified enough to do (because you work with them).
This would be a Govt job in health care.
