  1. Been waiting at the 2nd emergency department for 2.5 hours.

    Looks like a de facto diagnosis of "nothing urgent happening" has been made. Patient has paid $300 for this privilege.
    They're getting tired and hungry and are still breathing, conscious and having the spasms.

    Looking suspiciously like large hiccup movements.

    Folk argue about #ModernMedicine.
    I'm more interested in looking at #CommercialisedMedicine.

  2. Just walked out of one ED without receiving care.

    Longest wait time there was 7 hours.

    I'm caring for the person seeking care.

    1. I'm paying for parking.
    2. The seat I was assigned to has a hand sanitiser unit where my head wants to sit.

    No problem with me if the #WesternAustralia #MinisterForHealth #JadeSanderson is subjected to these conditions on a daily basis.

  3. In at Emergency, an elderly relative is having spasm/convulsions (not medical term) a bit like a whole torso hiccup.
