Most medications come from overseas. We manufacture some but because we are a small country it is not viable and profitable to produce here. It is all about profit and business rather than providing the best for people.

In NSW you pay, can't remember how much now but there are expiry dates and have to renew with a doctor's certification that you require this permit.

We watched our mother deteriorate during her sixties for over 11 years. Her Parkinsons was not diagnosed until 10 years in. She did not have any shaking at all which is why her doctor dismissed it. It was her optometrist who picked it up and ticked off a list all of the symptoms except shaking...

Councils love to exert power and create such ridiculous situations. If they had agreed, costs would have been minimal and a quality solution would have been achieved at no cost to the council.

My Dad had a few cats which he adored. They built a big cat run from an opening in the house to outside so the cats could roam outside and be inside when they wanted. All about safety for the cats and for the local surrounds as they were confined to the cat run when outside.

Thank you for this - it has woken me up. I leave the circulation on inside the car because of the tunnels that I travel through around Sydney. It explains why sometimes I feel a bit groggy. I will certainly change how I do this from now on and only put on when I am in the tunnels and then open...

What a lot to expect from one doctor expected to be on call 24/7. I am glad for his own health that he made the decision he did. It would have been a very tough call to quit and applaud him for acknowledging he was burnt out before it really affected him. Governments expect so much from their...

Me too. Some of my friends use them - their kids have shown them how to use it. I would not know where to start and am a bit afraid of being ripped off because I really do not know how this works. At the moment I still can drive and I use the train and trams when I go into the city. There will...

Thank you for reminding us of the good things happening. There is so much doom and gloom at present. Every time I have the news on it is showing how bad things have become and how dangerous society has become with terrible things happening. They tend to dominate the news. It makes it difficult...

Apologising for lack communication does not excuse the ramifications of firing up the plant that is really affecting residents health and comfortable living. What a debacle. Again big companies not caring about the little person.

I used to buy shirts and pants from Country Road when I was younger - they fitted me well, good quality and priced well however the quality changed and the prices jumped quite high. When I was in the city the other week I was the only customer in the store. I commented to the sales person how...

As this is only a short term solution, much work and planning has to go into a model that will sustain the operations of Armaguard. In lots of ways we have been forced into using cards as our access to banks has been reduced considerably, ATMs have just disappeared, many businesses will only...

I used to get terrible migraines in my 40s and 50s. I had a stressful job which did not help. They usually occurred after I had been in a room with a flickering fluorescent light. The lights in my office were changed to a special light that had a bluish tinge which helped considerably and...

I started with the standard Globite and then in later primary and early secondary years the "Stanely" Stamford case which was a bit more sophisticated. They were always so heavy to carry as my mother insisted that we have a jumper and rain coat permanently packed as well as the many books needed...

What a great initiative!!!! Looking good makes you feel good. A great way to look at health care wholistically. Should be a must for all hospitals. Keith Donnelly is a great advocate and initiator - a wonderful human being, caring for others with a simple but effective idea. Well done.

I have this right now. Problem is I have been rubbing it under the eye and have this morning woken up with a black ring under it bruising after flicking tears off. I look like I have been beaten up. Happened before and clears up in a few days.

I have watched bits of 10News+ in the last week. It lacks soul. Although both presenters are experienced, likeable and familiar faces, they just do not gel together, they seem uncomfortable in their presentations which are a bit monochrome. 'The Project' was news told differently with...

Me too!

Wow!!!!! What a great model of creating as much normalcy as possible and give a dignified approach to individuality and care that is not imposed in an aged care model. The notion of community and normalcy is care allowing people to have a form of independence. I know, as I age, and things...
