I have just had specialist treatment in a public hospital. Most of the medical staff were immigrants. Standard of care exemplary. We benefit hugely from immigration. Playing politics with immigration and multiculturalism is evil. We are fortunate to be a multicultural country.
Savva is right. Our hospital, medical, early learning and aged care services are substantially provided by #Immigrants. We need skilled #essentialworkers #tradies smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

Vulnerable Australians are being coerced by unscrupulous providers into accessing their superannuation to pay for medical procedures. This practice is driving health inflation, out of pocket costs and draining retirement savings.

When you’re offered a medical test, it’s worth asking the five “choosing wisely” questions: Do I really need this test? What are the risks? Are there simpler, safer options? What happens if I don’t do anything? And what are the costs? @henriettacook

Seems that where you live can determine how much you pay for elective surgery. Huge problem for the ACT and something I’m keen to see cleaned up.
How much have you paid for elective surgery here in the ACT or elsewhere?
Let me know in the comments below👇

Why do Drs use treatments that do not work?
For many reasons—including their inability to stand idle and do nothing

Do you need to see a doctor for cough, cold, COVID or flu symptoms? If you can’t see your usual GP, free appointments are available at GP respiratory clinics across Victoria. Find your closest: vtphna.org.au/gprcs @vtphna @semphn
Is it best to mix booster shots? I.e choose Pfizer for 4th if you had moderna as 3rd? First two were Pfizer. #COVID19 #vaccination

“If you’ve got something to say, don’t just natter to your colleagues, say it publicly.” This was career changing advice for @SimonChapman6. Couldn’t agree more.
