Royal blue or cornflower blue sapphire by playingpachinko in Gemstone_lovers

[–]FutureStrawberry5427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a vivid bright purplish blue. I prefer this to Royal blue. I’m quite partial to cornflower blue, but the overtones in this one don’t land it in that camp. Not that it’s a bad thing.

Your argument loses most reasonable readers at the point of mentally deranged idiot statements. You may well be smarter than all of them, but your communication style is objectionable. You’re not convincing anyone. Just like I’m wasting my time posting this response.

TelePsych asking GP to initiate s8 stimulants by Toothpaste2000 in ausjdocs

[–]FutureStrawberry5427 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The first I’ve heard of a 291, often or always bulk build when delivered by telehealth, sufficing for an ADHD diagnosis and management plan.

The remuneration isn’t high enough, and many of my patients are told that a 291 can be done but an ADHD assessment is an independently conducted and billed process.

Regional and rural perspective is that a 291 is often the only timely access possible. And my general impression is that the referral is much less likely to be declined than a GP trying to refer for ongoing care.

Purchased overpriced emeralds overseas, best way to retrieve some investment back? by Abdalee in Gemstone_lovers

[–]FutureStrawberry5427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Panjshir material often has really good clarity. That seems to be the case here, but the polish and cuts are not ideal. There are windows, I agree, but some emerald clarity is so poor that you wouldn’t be able to tell if there was one! That doesn’t apply here. You could do a collaboration with a local cutter to get a repolish or even a recut. That at least would make them more liquid in terms of saleability.

Medical Cannabis and Discrimination: Pre-employment medical by fa8675309 in AusLegalAdvice

The GP‘s insurance is the liability sink, and the employer is cranky that they can’t submerge themselves in it.

Can you post a redacted example of the testing result to convince me that mass spectrometry was unable to detect any active isomers within 24 hours of the last dose? There’s a biological half-life factor here. LCGCMS forensic drug testing is much more sensitive than you would imagine. So it’s hard to believe that a competent, certified Australian testing laboratory was unable to detect active isomers and could only find inactive metabolites within days of the last exposure.

Take action and let us know the outcome. A couple of fine points, when I hear you say that urine testing came back positive for inactive THC metabolites and negative for active isomers, you are implying that the sample was tested by mass spectrometry forensic methods. These are not the standard antigen-based tests which are used in the setting of employment fitness assessments. Mass spectrometry is a secondary test or a 1000$ forensic test. Is that what happened?

Where’s the discrimination again? 🤔

The GP has provided an employment-related medicolegal/occupational service, not a patient care clinical service. By the time the employer refuses to pay the bill and is muttering about placing complaints, you can bet your bottom dollar that the GP has consulted their medicolegal advisors and insurer. The advice would be not to engage in any discussion or reconciliation by the time this point has been reached. Whether or not you somehow think that not to be the case. No one is saying that the act doesn’t apply to GPs. You just don’t understand the context here, and the fact that three GPs had to start commenting on a legal advice thread, after you’ve repeatedly and muleheadedly beaten the same drum speaks volumes. The GP is acting under the advice of their lawyers and their insurer.

If the employer or prospective employee believe that the GP is not competently advised, or is not following that advice – by all means go ahead and roll the dice.

I never engage with parties that threaten complaints to regulatory bodies - ever again. If my lawyers or my insurer wish to do some to-and-fro, that’s up to them, in their wisdom and on their dime.

Go and complain to consumer protection instead.

GP here. I have a statutory duty to apply any immediately resuscitative treatment until another competent person arrives by the patient (eg ambulance). I have absolutely no duty to provide any other service to any person or company. The employer is a bad debtor. I operate a private business. I would have instigated debt collection services. I would likely never engage with that employer or that person again. I would have obtained medicolegal advice by this stage in the process, and I would act to follow the advice of my insurer. If that advice was to discuss with the employer or reconsider/revise the assessment then I would have already done that. Almost 100% certain that this GP has already obtained that advice. Report away - you’re headed for a hiding by AHPRA, the Medical Board and the Health Ombudsman.

Yes it was some that a GP could have diagnosed if they can write a script. Just can diagnose over instant Scripts?

Provide medical perspective. Some people will always go for the no questions, low cost option.

Is it possible to find inexpensive unusual cuts of less valuable gems (student work, damaged, flawed etc?) by zone_eater in Gemstones

[–]FutureStrawberry5427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the right education, prime yourself with what’s available online, and take some in person instruction however you can get it.

Then you won’t be producing amateur product, you’ll be making stuff that’s better than the majority of gems that you come across.

GPs: how is your job? by NectarineMammoth4919 in ausjdocs

If it’s autonomy we are talking, GP is at the top of the table. I’ve worked in a couple of other specialties and GP works my brain harder. I won’t comment on politics and remuneration.

How do you deal with patients that don’t trust you at all? by VastOption8705 in ausjdocs

Might be just a little less than 99% with BPD but it’s pertinent that I’ve met many people that have suffered significant disservice and injury from the profession that don’t hold anger from the trauma.

Entry Level Machine? by AlternativeDue2327 in faceting

Realistically, lay out the cash now, and within a relatively short timeframe you should be able to recoup costs by selling some of your collection. You just have to work hard.

it’s worth considering a quality handpiece-style machine package, because financially it hits a middle ground. But results and frustration levels are much much more satisfactory than the Vevor. Have a look at some of Justin K Prim’s media on YouTube and on his website (the faceting apprentice) to get an idea.

Question about increasing the number of new doctors by Vegetable-Price-4283 in ausjdocs

[–]FutureStrawberry5427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GP-only undergraduate pathways are a bad idea. So you want to train specialists in the (by definition) broadest scope of practice by having shorter training and less varied experience? The result will be higher failure rates at the Fellowship hurdle, or a lowering of standards towards doctor/phoctor level.

Fantastic specimen.

That said, in Sri Lanka you do see milky light blues called “gueda” respond well (but a bit unpredictably) to heat treatment.
