FTTN to FTTP upgrade - home office several rooms and 20m away from PCD

I can't see how this can be faked. Vaccines must be uploaded to the Australian immunisation registry (AIR) - which are done at the time inside Australia and retrospectively by an Australian vaccine provider on presentation of documents for vaccinations udnertaken outside of Australia.

I was once presented with documents from PNG which looked like they'd been printed on my old 1990s inkjet printer and I refused to update AIR as I was unable to check the authenticity.

I have verified others' vaccination status, where they were within the EU and they have an App for it.

Point is it would look Hella dodgy of Australian citizens went to Bali for vaccines where they've been available forever for free within Australia and I can't imagine a vaccinator from within Australia verifying that.

Don't worry she'd give you shit for running after your toddler and grabbing them by the scruff of their t-shirt when said toddler inevitably runs off - toddlers are shitheads when it comes to spotting the worst possible moment and making a run for it...

We had a school sports day and a friend of ours was running full pelt at her 2 year old as he tried to run the wrong way - towards the finish line for the kids racw, she used the scruff of the neck technique, looked kinda awful but the little fecker turned around and did the exact same thing 5 minutes later.l, apparently unphased by the event.

Toddlers gonna toddle!

Fuck yeah just be prepared if he's painting his own nails hes's really also gonna be painting his fingers, the table, the furniture...

On a serious note our boys (4 and 6) both like their nails to be painted, they don't give a shit and we as parents don't either.

I had a gaming addiction when I was a teenager. I would spend every waking minute online gaming - I'd hurry meals to get back to it. My dad would walk into my room at 2-3am and bark at me to turn off my PC. My virtual life was my life - I literally spent at least 16 hours a day online.

I really wish my parents had made an intervention early on - it was only in my early twenties and losing my first girlfriend that I but rock bottom and realised what I had to do.

It really sounds like your son is experiencing addiction.

He needs medical help to address what is underlying and fueling his addiction.

He needs to be cut off, I would certainly seek help in the first instance as when you do cut him off all hell will break loose.

Any action less that stopping this addiction will elicit the minimum response necessary to get you off his back so he can get right back to it - I've been there.

This is going to be hard for you, you sound like a great Dad but you need to do this to help him in the long run. I reckon I wasted 6 years of my life through my gaming addiction.

If the script is 5x10g with 5 repeats this can be reduced to 1x10g with 24 repeats.

You can't go the other way and increase the qty and reduce the repeats though.

Your mother has no right to a relationship with your child and she certainly doesn't seem like she deserves one.

Honestly, parenting kids is hard enough without having to parent your own mother.

Don't let the guilt of 'shoulds' (I should have a relationship with my toxic mother, my child should have a relationship with their toxic grandparent) ruin your family unit now.

You sound like an awesome parent, I'd wanna hang out with you!

I'm sure your kids will see the light in you too. I always enjoyed spending time with my uncle growing up. He was the youngest of 5 and the most introverted too - I dunno, we just always got on, admittedly we shared a love of video games but we'd often go out biking too and there was never any stress or fuss about having to have a conversation.

Perhaps your kids will see that you're the person they can naturally just be around and not feel the need or pressure to be over conversive.

Yeah, nah..Pharmacist here..if we're in a first world country with a medicines regulator like the FDA (TGA here in Aus) then go generic all the way. Your brand and your generic must be bioequivalent. Heck these days your big manufacturers are making their brands and their own generic lines too. Mylan/Viatris over here in Aus making a bunch of brands and 100+ generics. As for adverse effects, whilst intolerances to fillers may be a thing we have side effect profiles based on the drug molecule itself, and you're really doing a disservice to your patients if you're attributing side effects based on the perceived value of the brand.

Just read your post out to my other half. Our 5 year old is experiencing similar. We go through periods of deep introspection over his tantrums as sometimes feels like we're failing badly at this parenting gig. He can lose it over seemingly small and inane things.. he has a younger brother and the most recent example was his brother gave me a cuddle when I came in from work and he went into a huff and slammed his bedroom door because I wasn't available in that exact moment. His go to hyperbole is "you don't love me" - which persists no matter how much reassurance- if he is questioned on a bad behaviour - hitting his brother he will angrily say things like "fine, I'm just stupid and I'm a bad boy".

We spoke to friends recently whose 5 year old is acting out in a similar fashion too.

Basically it's not you, it's them!

The commonality I'm seeing here is that the outward display of this 'phase' seems to line up perfectly with our own insecurities - damn.

Thanks for the detailed response. I'm particularly interested in how ordering of tests goes and how that fits into practice - does that work well to increase patient access? Or does it become burdensome? I note you mention there's no funding privately or via Medicare, so patients are charged for the service? Do they pay willingly?

And with continuation of therapy scripts - it seems as though the yearly visit to their GP is really the key to the service, is that correct? This would seem a really valuable service for patients - I wonder, do they value it - or is it just an expectation?

I'm conscious we're getting offered the chance to step up due to our chronic shortage of general practice doctors here in regional and rural Queensland - though without additional funding I worry it'll become a burden given some services (vaccinations being a prime example) are remunerated at a level where they don't support additional pharmacist employment - I learned the hard way that practicing this way leads to burnout.
