@mariamtokhi I was told by the court I could end up in jail if I didnโt let my children see their father - my response was - I suppose then Iโm at risk of going to jail
@drPLeach Not a GP but when a family member needed to see a psychiatrist, public system too long so had to up our private health insurance. Told we would have to wait for at least 12 months otherwise. Not a good solution for those who canโt afford it
@joegarra61 Some of the comments on here are astounding. As a household of teachers and nurses, I suggest spending a week with us. We donโt get paid overtime
@LiangRhea I would happily write a repeat script within my scope of practice. I often have patients calling me because they canโt get an appointment or they canโt afford to pay (I work within public health system). I donโt encourage this but sometimes its the only way they can get the med
@mbismark The only way I could see a way around this for my family member was to increase my private health insurance to Gold cover. I knew it was going to be too long and needed to get help ASAP
@Caro_Dew_ My siblings and I were with my mother as she was dying from COVID this year. the most heartbreaking video call (I was holding the phone trying to keep it still whilst crying) to her grandkids. Was the most heartbreaking thing Iโve ever done and Iโve been nursing for over 30 years
