    Had to take my Mum to Emergency Wednesday night, after assessment and diagnosis one of the medications prescribed was 5 times the dose that she should have had based on Kidney function. I looked it up before filling the script and realised so got a new script from her GP. A complaint has been...

    What cheeses me off

    I think it’s been said before but people who are in the ED waiting room coughing up a lung with no face mask on. Waiting 8 hours with a vulnerable relative in a jam packed room every cough filled me with dread. Made a feeble gesture of lifting her arm to cover it.

    Specials meals on economy international long-haul

    Best gluten free meal (necessary not choice) was EK out of FCO. Worst was QF out of SIN. QF was a single dried up chicken breast with no sauce at all, white rice and some limp bok choy. Ironically it was just what I needed as I was recovering from gastro.

    Is it possible for a vein to “run out” during a blood test or is it operator error? Three tubes required, I was fully hydrated and never had a problem before. She said the first vein “ran out” after one tube and she had to have another go with the resulting bruise. Not on blood thinners.

    Sometimes things are just meant to happen, I had a large ovarian cyst removed - unknown initially if cancerous. Apparently some ovarian cancer can start in the appendix so they swung over to the other side to check out my appendix. I had acute appendicitis which probably would have blown in a...

    Whatever you get make sure it has an “emergency stop clip/attachment “ and that they use it. My mum came off the treadmill at the gym at age 75 and dislocated her shoulder badly.
