    Aussie fights for life with meningococcal disease. What signs should seniors watch out for?

    You have a really positive attitude, and you set a great example for others. I wish you well, and I will take a leaf out of your book. Your cancer is very treatable, and we’re pretty well educated on bowel cancer these days. Early detection and treatment is the key. Have a wonderful Christmas...

    Aussie fights for life with meningococcal disease. What signs should seniors watch out for?

    Sadly this dreadful disease is totally preventable. There’s a vaccine available to prevent it. Problem is, it’s very expensive, and again, the only won’t make it free. So if you’re wealthy, you can get the vaccine with a prescription. It’s a bit unfair, that the population who probably need it...

    Young celebrity's 'outrageous' conduct while elderly lover battles in hospital!

    This is the most hideous and disturbing elder abuse I’ve ever witnessed. We all recall Anna Nicole Smith, who claimed she loved her husband. This gold digger has not shown any love or respect, and her behaviour is nothing short of prostitution. I thought prostitution was illegal. I can’t believe...

    Lack of availability for Services within the CHSP

    Most of the public has no idea how the system works. How can you trust a judgemental person, who has no clue what they are talking about, to pass judgement on a medical professional, who understands the triage system, can know what it’s like for an elderly lady, who is begging for help from the...

    Lack of availability for Services within the CHSP

    What I am trying say, is get to a hospital for help, and demand your rights as a patient, to be seen and treated, and obtain help that is available. This woman is clearly distressed, and I had to get my 88 year old mother to hospital, where she was admitted and treated, and got her home assessed...

    Lack of availability for Services within the CHSP

    The government is so irresponsible, I don’t know how they sleep at night. They treat the elderly, like a thorn in their side. I know the system, and it stinks. They try to make it hard to get help, hoping that you’ll just give up. Most do. The NDIS is useless too. It’s broke. The government...

    Lack of availability for Services within the CHSP

    You can take action, or sit and sulk. I had to take action and intervene for my alderly Mother, for her safety. We are in Qld, and the system is not great. We had to push hard to protect her, and the doctor did the correct thing, and protected her, because it’s the law. I sleep better at night...

    Lack of availability for Services within the CHSP

    Again I am responding. The doctors in the hospital have a legal “duty of care “, to assist this poor lady, who deserves help. You need to kick and scream almost, until you are heard. This lovely lady, is sitting at home, on the phone, using up her mobile minutes, and she is getting nowhere fast...

    Lack of availability for Services within the CHSP

    This action is known in the industry, as a “back door admission “, and it happens all the time in Australia. The squeaky wheel the oil. Wish her well. Good luck.

    Lack of availability for Services within the CHSP

    Sorry you disagree. This woman is desperate, and needs help. She is probably in Victoria, the Bankrupt State. If she doesn’t do something now, Christmas will come and go, and then by February, action might happen.

    Lack of availability for Services within the CHSP

    You need a good plan. You need to land in hospital with “chest pain “, and then they will take you seriously. Refuse to leave the hospital, and demand to see a social worker, who will help sort out the mess you are clearly in. I’m a medical professional, and know the system. You will have to...

    Whooping cough makes record-breaking outbreak in 2024—are you at risk?

    I have always believed in vaccinations. All of a sudden, diseases that were unheard of 60 years ago, were due to the vaccine schedule in schools, when I was a kid. I think that we’re all so fed up with needing so many vaccinations, that we have come very complacent, and nobody seems to know...

    Home & Garden Win Up To $200K In Prizes @ MS Lottery*

    Meant to mention, but they believe there’s a link between mono and MS. If Epstein-Barr virus was eliminated, maybe by vaccine, the disease may not exist. That would be something of a gift.

    Wow! My beautiful daughter, age 33, has MS. Started out as glandular fever, then onto chronic fatigue syndrome, then MS. Every parents worst day. She is registered with NDIS, but receives a pittance from the scheme. She is not a taker, and she is married with 2 girls aged 8 and 9. She has a...

    Aussie senator's controversial post about King Charles sends shockwaves through social media

    I’m embarrassed to call myself Australian. That politician has a lot to answer for. I can’t believe that our taxes are paying for her foul mouth tirade. Now they are trying to blame an assault a few months ago, as an excuse for her behaviour. She probably deserved it totally. I feel like lining...

    Shocking $100k dispute shatters a family's dream – could your dream be next?

    It’s awful what has happened to this family. The big problem is that the cost of building materials has skyrocketed, and the building companies have to bear the brunt of the price increases. It’s cheaper for them to walk away, than lose money. I know that a contract is there to protect both...

    Investigation launches after common medications allegedly link to life-threatening diseases

    I have tried to contact Craig Allsop from Shine Lawyers, several weeks ago. I have not received a response at all, and my experience with Nexium was nearly fatal. It dropped my sodium levels so low, that I had seizures and convulsions, due to near lethal sodium levels. I lost my license for 6...

    Investigation launches after common medications allegedly link to life-threatening diseases

    I feel I had a life threatening event about 2 and half years ago. I had been taking Nexium, twice daily for reflux. My husband witnessed me having a seizure, and an ambulance was called asap. Whilst in the car, and er, I had further convulsions. I was transferred to a larger hospital with an...

    Family calls out local hospital after neglecting senior Aussie under their care

    I’m a nurse, and it’s heartbreaking to hear that this happened to any patient, yet alone a vulnerable senior. An apology doesn’t repair the damage. It’s essential that you consult a law firm about this matter. This lady deserves better. The only way things will change, is a lawsuit. The health...
