Shingles

Those of us who spend much time in a doctor's office should appreciate this!

Doesn't it seem more and more that physicians are running their practices like an assembly line in Australia?
Here's what happened to Kevin: 

Kevin walked into a Doctor's office and the receptionist asked him what he had. Kevin said: 'Shingles.' So she wrote down his name, address, medical insurance number and told him to have a seat.
Fifteen minutes later a nurse's aide came out and asked Kevin what he had….
Kevin said, 'Shingles.' So she wrote down his height, weight, a complete medical history and told Kevin to wait in the examining room.

A half hour later a nurse came in and asked Kevin what he had. Kevin said, 'Shingles..' So the nurse gave Kevin a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, and told Kevin to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor.

An hour later the doctor came in and found Kevin sitting patiently in the nude and asked Kevin what he had.

Kevin said, 'Shingles.' The doctor asked, 'Where?'
Kevin said, 'Outside on the truck. Where do you want me to unload 'em??
 

Grrrr. Knox Private Hospital. They added two floors of additional wards but no more car park. You join 10 others circling around and around looking for a parking spot, more than 20 minutes. Most of the half hour free parking wasted. 

Only on FB, which supplies most of my silly pictures, silly signs and quckies.

There is a mural on Canterbury Road, corner Springvale Road, featuring Mohammad Ali, Danny De Veto, baby Yoda and Elon Musk. I posted a photo a year or more ago. Must photograph it again. Red paint has been splashed over Musk.

Read the number plates....

Here is the tramline past Essendon, runs into the CBD. Red X's indicate tram stops.

Also, two different hemispheres.

I'm posting this here because I didn't want to start a new thread for it.

This afternoon I went to Vermont South Shopping Centre, which is small by most standards. Westpac closed their branch which was on the front corner of the centre. New signage and shop fittings indicate that it will open as an Asian grocery, fifty metres from an existing Asian grocery.

Spacey, take a look at the attached map of Melbourne's tram network. At least in the somewhat inner suburbs, you are more likely closer to a tram than a train station. Outer suburbs use the train and there is usually free parking available. As for the tram their stops are more or less at every traffic light, and on longer runs, between traffic lights. Many stops now have raised platforms for disabled access. If you are not close to a tram stop, there are busses which will take you to one.

I think there's an overhead sign approaching those intersections showing how to do it..

This is the sign. The cross street is where the van is approaching the tram.

If it doesn't have supervisory or veto powers it's a miillion dollar lame duck.

There are and have been aboriginal members of parliament and forner national president of the ALP who have had an opportunity to be the voice, and are recommending a No vote. Good enough for me.

If the yes vote wins, at some time in the future you will know one way or the other.

And if it's wrong you're stuck with it. It's enshrined in the constitution.
