somehow there is a shortage of exactly the strength of ADHD meds I am on and not any other strength so I have to drive to Caboolture because that's the only place that has them on the northside of brisbane

My grandma thought I was some super genius kid when I was solving them after the first letter was out. In raelity their outback TV channel had a 2 week delay on getting anything and I'd already seen those episodes back at home before school holidays.

:siren: 60-day prescriptions of PBS medicines :siren:


From 1 September 2023, nearly 100 common medicines listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) will have the option of a 60-day prescription. This means many patients can now receive twice the medication for the cost of a single prescription.

To qualify, patients must be:

living with an ongoing health condition
assessed by their prescriber to be stable on their current medicine/medicines
have discussed with their prescriber and obtained a new prescription for a 60-day quantity of medicine per dispensing.
The changes are happening in 3 stages over 12 months and will apply to more than 300 medicines once completed on 1 September 2024.

Signed up to get brain surgery for my epilepsy, its gonna be a long process involving a 5 day stay at a hospital where I'm off my meds so they can scan me when I have a seizure. A combination of exciting, annoying and concerning tbh.

holy poo poo dude, good luck.

good thing about brain surgery is they don't let the work experience kids do it (that's reserved for orthos) so not much chance of them sneezing on your grey matter. Just make sure you get a picture of the top of your head before they shave it so you can check to make sure they put your scalp back on the right way after they're done. I'm sure NVJ will do you good on the anaesthetic.

Having worked in the public sector:

A bunch of embarrassing things are going to be discovered internally establishing that upper management were deliberately or incompetently facilitating this lovely manager. They're gong to reorg the IT department to shuffle the deck and disguise who is responsible for what. The most competent and useful people will quit in disgust or get pushed out one way or another. The useless manager will be promoted to another department/area where they will be tasked with making invisible widgets for a few years until all this blows over.


I hope I'm wrong and I just haven't had my coffee this morning, but in my experience management/HR is only useful for hand grenading a situation and writing down the twitching remains as a "successful resolution"

Holy fkn poo poo, this is an echo of my SO's efforts at a certain govt dept just recently.
Got hired – took them 2.5 months to get around to accepting them for the gig
Some people who were on the selection panel mysteriously quit before the job was awarded
Massive restructuring directly after starting, no idea what the job actually even was
Wound up with an overpromoted fraud who decided they were incompatible in personality (my SO would notice her lack of skills, so uh oh)
Cue 3 weeks of subtle bullying, the kind that makes my SO resign without kicking the incompetent oval office that forced them out.

I cant understand how there was any push back from this. Its crazy, it just makes so much sense for the people actually using the medications.

That said, my allergy pill got dropped from the PBS in june, meaning that not only is it now more expensive, but you can only get 1 month with no repeats at all. YAY, so, technically i need to see an allergy specialist every month as opposed to every 6 months, or find a dr that will just go, ok ive got no knowledge of this at all, heres your script you asked for.

Two couples I know have broken up recently over the same issue. It's so insidious and the dishonesty just destroys their family.

One guy got to the point of faking a robbery at their house so he could pretend their valuables had been stolen, when he was just selling them to fund his gambling. Absolutely despicable.

Been looking at realestate.com checking out rental prices in my area because, gently caress me, cost of living is right up my rear end in a top hat. I'm in a three bedroom house in a nice enough suburb with decent access to everything and five minutes from the highway.

Price of a one or two bedroom flat in the local drug crime suburb is about $100 a week less than I'm paying now.

Price of a four bedroom two story house in a posh suburb, about $100 to $150 more a week.

So, $400 a month less to live in squalor, or $400 a month more to live in luxury. I can't believe how badly rental prices are flattened.
