    PELL

    Having watched the entire sentencing on TV, the penetration was oral, not anal, according to the judge. Cardinal Pell (he is still that until the Pope sacks him) held the boys head in his crotch, before handling the boys genitals.

     

     

    Road rage

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I get road rage (road stress?) every time I drive. If the turn arrow lasts long enough for five vehicles, I'm always sixth in the queue, and there's a gadget somewhere in my car that turns every traffic light red as I approach. Wish I could find the bl**dy thing - I'd smash it with a hammer.

    Covering themselves against litigation. This example is obvious,but they still have to do it. Like putting "may contain" when it obviously doesn't, but it may have been produced on equipment which previously had the reported ingredient. If you take the risk and buy the item, you accept the responsibility if someone has an allergic reaction.

    It seems there are people who delight in leaving items in the wrong location - eg. Hot chicken in the Easter eggs, sliced meat in the gardening section. Happens all the time at our supermarket. The other thing is tiny print on the ingredients panel. You need a strong magnifying glass to see if some products contain ingredients you or yours are allergic to.

     

     

    Hospital wait times

    Slight thread drift. The cardiologist I referred to above, who is retiring this month, gave me a prescription for thyroid tablets at my recent check-up, the last time I will see him. The tablets come in a box of 200. My dosage is half a tablet per day, that's 400 days. Original plus 5 repeats means 2400 days, or six and a half years in one prescription! And the tablets? About the size of a grain of rice, and not long grain, either.

    We've been attending our local medical clinic since the late 70's. There were originally 3 doctors on staff, all Australians, in their senior years, and now probably in that great operating theatre in the sky. These days there are a few permanents, four of whom are Australian, with a number of Asian doctors who seem to come and go, rotating through another clinic in the group. My own GP for the last few years is of Greek parents, but was educated at Melbourne University. He is second in charge and quite popular.Make an appointment to see him, and you can sit in the waiting room for half an hour or more. Other doctors see you more quickly.

     

    My Australian cardiologist retires at the end of this month. He is handing over his practice to an Indian cardiologist with whom he has worked and has great confidence in. The new man commenced training in New Zealand, and graduated at Melbourne Uni.

     

    Hospital waiting is where the problems exist, if you use the public system. Trying to get into the sleep study clinic at 3 local hospitals has a waiting list of around 5 months. I went to Box Hill (public) Hospital for a chest x-ray when my wife suspected I had bronchitis, and the waiting time at triage was around five hours. We have top private health cover which is expensive, but we can go to local private hospitals with hardly any waiting time. Knox Private has an emergency department, but you have to pay up to $200 to get through the door, which is not claimable.
