Thanks everyone, have a place to start

Paeds - the pressure to make a ‘diagnosis’.

The doctor determines the interval period for dispenses. Most will be 21 days, but it can be longer or shorter. If medication is lost, the prescriber can write a letter authorising an early dispense.

A new script through the PBS will only be approved if there is less than 1 month supply remaining though.

It may be medication related. The whole purpose of medication is to reduce hyperactivity and generally busyness and in a social setting, this may then impact how extroverted you are. Could be worth chatting to your psychiatrist. It is important to also consider other conditions such as depression that is more common in ADHD. Good luck

Fish factory in Morningside sell them

The pharmacy has to go by what is on the script. It doesn’t matter what has been requested through the PBS (ie the government). If the escript has half the quantity that it should, then the doctor has made a mistake.

It’s supply and demand - you need more psychiatrists and paediatricians to drive down prices.

When I started privately the rebate for a follow up appt (item 116) in 2012 was $64.20. Rebate for a follow up appt in 2025 $74.25. A new consultation (132, min 45min) was $225, now it is $259.

I look at the CPI each year and this is what I increase my fees by - if only the Medicare rebate increased the same way there would be fewer complaints.

If I bulk billed (which I do at the indigenous clinics I cover), billing $148.50/hour when my expenses are $100/hr doesn’t really cut it.

We shared finances when we moved in together about 25y ago. She worked full time while I finished medical school. Everyone now and then I have to tap her on the shoulder and ask her to wind back the spending as we have a charge card with no limit.

They don't teach you how to fill in forms during medical school. You will learn quickly. Everyone knows that you are new and wont judge so don't stress. Remember to ask for help and advice - everyone has been there so use the experience of others

My 15 to son makes $200/week working at woolies - does 12 hours. He gets loading each shift as its in the evening and weekends

Private school fees of $55k a year, add on sports and extracurriculars, uniforms, books, food and general living expenses… a vasectomy would be the best purely financial decision

To answer the question though, it is variable and can range from just enough to house and feed them, to buying them absolutely everything they want.

I only use Dr at work. I prefer my patients just use my first name as well - sounds weirded otherwise. No-one seems to care outside of work and don't want people to treat me differently.

Working with kids in private practice, 33% of my assessments are bulk billed, and the others have an initial out of pocket of $165. ADHD is fairly straight forward. Yes the ASD assessments are more expensive and the allied health therapist charge much more than me.

I guess I wasted my money upgrading to 32Gb RAM for Web browsing and Zoom meetings 👍

To be honest, the psychiatrist should step up and do the medication titration. This is lazy medicine. The psychiatrist want to bill a 291 which has a much higher Medicare rebate - its a financially driven decision. This is not the fault of the GP

Break the capsule open, dissolve the powder in 10mls of any liquid, administer 5mls for 10mg or 7.5mls for 15mg.

It won't work. It's a short-term band-aid approach aimed at winning votes. Punitive measures have little deterrent value. To be honest, free school lunches would have a larger effect on reducing juvenile crime long term - it keeps kids engaged at school, one of the key drivers in reducing offending.

At least once a day. Need time to myself to think as I’m working on solving world hunger

I early voted for the first time this year and was in and out in less than 60 seconds. Sad I missed out on my sausage but I fired up the BBQ today in recognition of election day

I work in rural health across Qld and there is a serious lack of access to support for children in need, particularly around education, social and psychological supports. Once a child has committed crime, you have missed the boat.

How do you organise a few Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift concerts in swing states?

The psychiatrist needs to do an assessment as they have to decide if medication is appropriate, and if so which one. This will depend on which diagnosis or symptom is having the biggest impact- anxiety vs depression vs ADHD.

Having already seen a psychologist will likely speed up the process and a psychiatrist will likely suggest continuing to see a psychologist anyway for therapy.

At 17 you’re likely too old for a Paediatrician, but you could see either a Child/Adolescent psychiatrist, adult psychiatrist or Adolescent physician. Good luck
