You should have access to Al-Mourjan by virtue of QR J ticket and the Platinum lounge via QF OWE. You need J+QR Plat or an F ticket (inbound or out) to get into the Al-Safwa

Tread carefully

Always difficult to make clinical judgements (or criticise colleagues) without full history and examination but carotid narrowing doesn't cause vertigo. Very occasionally (i might see one patient every 2 years), significant vertebral artery (the blood vessels going up the back of the neck rather...

Depends on your future flying patterns From a points perspective you will get most crediting all flights to QR. Avios are useful even if you don't have many particularly for short-haul trips. Also ADL or MEL-Per (though not syd-per) is good value via BAEC (avios are interchangeable between BAEC...

You do miss out on a few things by leaving QFF. No access to QF lounges for accompanying children for one. No lounge access on JQ or EK. QF Int upgrade priority too. Also WP award release though how that will evolve with Classic+ remains to be seen

Iberia qualification isn't too bad* if you fly on a mixture of OW and just want status perks. No need for any IB flights. The IT support is a bit flaky however https://simpleflying.com/iberia-plus-tiers-guide/ *it's a better proposition for OWS than OWE though

It's the age of the children that the Wiggles appeals to. It's the time in a child's development that they want to watch again and again and again. It's hard to avoid knowing about them as a parent (And they are quite catchy IMO 😉 Fruit salad yummy yummy)

Confirm I changed from QF to QR after a year and it worked fine. Don't remember it being difficult

A tradesman would seem the best option in circumstances (unless they have access to a kindly community volunteer group) Doesn't seem to be any particular arm of government's responsibility That's not to say I'm not sympathetic to your parents-deliberate damage to one's property can feel very...

If you see flickering (nystagmus) when the first part is done, it's pretty certain it's BPPV and the Epley has a decent chance of working

I have had people feel very dizzy and nauseated during the Epley so perfectly reasonable approach for you to take @prozac. If people to want to give it a try, you can usually tell which direction to do it by seeing which side makes you feel more dizzy when you do the first bit (And in true...

Have you tried doing an Epley (treatment for BPPV) to reset the crystals at home? https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatment-tests-and-therapies/home-epley-maneuver...

In my (hospital-based) experience, migraine is the 3rd commonest cause of true vertigo (illusion of spinning) with 1. BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo if you ask) 2. Vestibular neuronitis (often post-viral) 4. Stroke 5. Menieres disease 6. Others including acoustic neuroma and...

Usually have a clinic elsewhere on Friday morning but was on-call so the stars aligned

Personally I'm happy for QF to make its own risk assessments. I'd imagine that our government has access to better intelligence and advice than some of those other airlines' countries. And Australian flyers, as a whole, tend to value safety quite highly (even if some might feel...

33 for me. 35 by this time next month

Good to drop in and see/distract you @prozac Keep on getting better

Interesting Looks good value if you are flying AT a bit https://www.royalairmaroc.com/us-en/status-booster

I've reached a stage where my own conditions are helping me look after patients. Yesterday, I effortlessly interrogated a patient's CPAP machine to see if he was using it properly (He wasn't)

I rhought a helpful article from HFP today https://www.headforpoints.com/2024/04/16/using-avios-on-finnair-flights/comment-page-1/#comments
