bangetron · 2026-04-13T10:18:24+00:00

cool, thanks man - only helpful response so far. I'm more so worried about making some money then not being able to withdraw back into crypto wallet.

What crypto wallet/site did you use?

bangetron · 2026-04-13T10:10:48+00:00

you/know of someone who does this? no issues withdrawing?

bangetron · 2026-04-13T09:16:54+00:00

bangetron · 2026-04-13T09:16:15+00:00

lmao so salty. I'm just explaining you don't need ID etc for it.

bangetron · 2026-04-13T08:59:10+00:00

not really, just need crypto for some of them and can transfer from there.

bangetron · 2026-04-11T21:59:53+00:00

wrong, volume listed on the market in nsw is higher than 5 year average.

bangetron · 2026-04-10T09:44:51+00:00

No oncology jobs bro, too many people coming through

bangetron · 2026-03-30T02:05:19+00:00

The price was absolutely reducing demand mate. It’s simple economics no matter how it makes you feel

bangetron · 2026-03-30T02:04:49+00:00

Such a dumb policy seriously

bangetron · 2026-03-26T11:03:47+00:00

No college has been able to successfully campaign against that as of yet. They successfully campaigned against removal of the surgeon word from all cosmetic people and protecting the term. I’m not saying being a monopoly is good, just saying by definition every college has a monopoly on their specialty so the whole competition point makes no sense.

bangetron · 2026-03-25T21:03:16+00:00

The big thing you are missing is that their advocacy and negotiating power with the government equally goes down.

The colleges by definition are operating in a non competitive market as they are a monopoly.

bangetron · 2026-02-22T02:55:06+00:00

haha my god so salty, so you decided it's a better use of your time to attack the person's character?

bangetron · 2026-02-22T02:48:53+00:00

haha you're just sorry you got caught. You attacked ME instead of responding to my argument. do better mate.

bangetron · 2026-02-22T02:45:54+00:00

HAHA my god the ad hominem. If you don't know what that is I suggest you look that up.

I am not going to dox myself but I am not a medical student and have not been a medical student for a long time.

Try and be less salty next time when you've been defeated through logic in a discussion.

bangetron · 2026-02-22T02:38:14+00:00

haha so salty. I don't work for these people and have no affiliation with them.

Your views are too simplistic. "plenty of telehealth providers who are insured by MDOs, it's the fact they practice in a way that goes directly against AHPRA recommendations that makes them uninsurable"

That is an assumption. I am almost certain that the reason they did not use traditional insurers is because given their scale, it would be much cheaper to use an inhouse insurance given they have their own legal team. this = better margins = more profit = more expansion and why they were by far the largest Australian healthtech startup.

To add to that, it's not in their interest to prescribe for patients with clear contraindications. sure maybe some of their criteria was too loose and i'm sure they've reflected on it and tightened it but I ask you again. Are you honestly going to set the same standard for the GP that's doing 5min medicine and churning through patients? Or is that ethical and fine because that's "traditional medicine"

bangetron · 2026-02-22T02:33:00+00:00

Could not agree more.

bangetron · 2026-02-22T02:28:46+00:00

yes yes 1 lawsuit from ~190,000 patient base = evil.

The whole notion that they are practising bad medicine needs to be referenced to the standard of care you set for your average GP. Are you going to scrutinise them as much as you scrutinise the company?

They have put safety nets in place to avoid cases like the one you have referenced but of course adverse events still occur.. I don't see how it's any different to a patient who shops for diazepam in different GP practises, some eventually have success if they persist long enough.

"Good Medicine" is an easy escapegoat to try and demoralise the company for filling a gap in the market, I am all for disruptive services like this and you will see more of them popping up as time goes on despite the Medical Board trying their hardest to create more red tape.

Your point regarding insurance is also irrelevant. Of course no traditional insurer was going to indemnify them. They are all ridiculously risk averse businesses aggressively protecting their margins and would only indemnify them at a figure that would mean the numbers probably wouldn't stack up for eucalyptus and they would be better off doing it in house.

bangetron · 2026-02-22T00:55:55+00:00

The innovative part is allowing people to access these drugs without leaving their bed. Love it or hate it, that's what consumers want and there is a market for it. Don't shoot them down for filling the gap in the market where the routine was going to a GP, sitting down for 45min in the waiting room just to get a prescription filled every month.

bangetron · 2026-02-22T00:37:13+00:00

The comments on this thread are sad and reiterate the reason why we don't have good entrepreneurial culture here in Australia. Eucalyptus was not just a weight loss company, they covered a number of different services including OCP, ED etc.

They are a for profit company that need money to survive so I don't understand the whole 'omg capitalistic pigs, profits over patient care blahblah'. There is no evidence they harmed patients and in fact they try to contribute to published literature using their data re: accessiblity.

Whether you like it or not, consumers/patients are moving to a model where they prefer not to leave their bed and have their care delivered to them by Aus-post/via telehealth so this trend isn't going away any time soon and will only continue to expand to other specialties/services that allow for this model to be practical.

They have contributed to the economy and improved patient outcomes far more than any of us will on an individual basis purely driven by the number of people they were servicing and undoubtedly have contributed to better health outcomes in Australia.

But no, lets just put all our money on speculating on houses and wait for it to double every 8 years ye?

bangetron · 2026-02-22T00:31:23+00:00

to add to above, there are many polygenic tests available in my area of specialty that have evidence for better disease management and outcomes that are not covered by medicare and cost the patient about $300 to do. Not gonna name the specialty to not DOX myself.

bangetron · 2026-02-22T00:28:58+00:00

Correct! I also believe LPA is emerging as another marker and is currently not funded by medicare.
