GPs don’t get paid anything by ‘Big Pharma ‘ that’s another bit of false information That gets circulated.

I’ve been a family GP for 45 years. I don’t know why people fall for this anti vaxxer nonsense. It’s all posted to make money out of vulnerable people and spread mad ideas.

Antivaxxers on social media are responsible for people not getting vaccinated. I had my seventh Covid vaccine today. I’m a Gp and also on dialysis at hospital three days a week so am immunosuppressed but I have not had Covid, flu or any respiratory disease in the last five years despite working...

Seniors would be immune to measles as most would have had it as children. It is highly contagious and usually found in overseas visitors who don’t vaccinate. Most young doctors would not have seen a case. The early symptoms can also include conjunctivitis.

I’m sorry to hear this. I hope he soon recovers. I’m surprised a chest xray wasn’t done as a routine. I’m a Gp and have been hospitalised with pneumonia and it was awful.

It’s usually a sign of Pneumonia. I am a GP. I had atypical pneumonia a rare organism in 2013. I could feel blood coming up from my right lung. I was off work for three months. For some reason I have not had Covid or indeed any respiratory infection since 2019. Despite working and being in...

I’d just tell them from my car to piss off! Then drive off with car locked.

My son does most of our shopping usually online at Woolies. He went to Costco as their tyres were cheaper and got a few grocery bargains. We have a huge freezer bought during early Covid and can store a lot in our garage. I was impressed with the frozen foods and the delicious dinner rolls. I’ve...

I think this is invented. The therapist would have to inform the patient as continuing treatment would be a conflict of interest.

The RSV vaccine is very effective even into the second year after the first dose. Of the people over 65 who contract it, 8% end up needing care or nursing home placement in the six months after infection. It has worse hospitalisation rates than flu or Covid, and a higher death rate then flu. But...

I would like to point out that Coeliac disease is not rare.

Someone in the family or a friend must have taken this money if the old lady didn’t spend it. I don’t know why the attorney didn’t control her mother’s finances and banking.

Bed bugs! Yuk! Since Covid -19 erupted I would never go on a cruise. My partner and I are dancers and always wanted to cruise, but there were also other outbreaks on cruises before Covid, like gastro, and I don't think they're safe. We know a couple who were on the Ruby Princess and they have...

I had this Phillips machine and received a recall notice. It was replaced within a few weeks. I had been using it for 8 years. I have a lot of health issues and am now on renal dialysis and can hardly work. I am a medical practitioner. I looked into the class action two years ago but received...

I use both programs but mainly flybuys. We used points to go on a dinner dance harbour cruise every year or so before Covid. We are ballroom and rock n roll dancers so enjoyed those. I had a lot of flyby points so recently used them to get a new iPhone. I only buy things that I need so never...
