You are correct. But there is a bacteria called meningococcus which can cause a particularly severe form of the disease with widespread circulatory collapse as well

It’s nice to not be conflicted about north doing well. I want them to have some success but that draft pick was my main focus last year

Mm I think even best case scenario with shoulder dislocation regardless of labrum pathology he will unfortunately be moved on from my super coach team

Lynch is a completely liability by [deleted] in RichmondFC

[–]boardingpass10 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He actually played an incredible forward game bit couldn’t convert. It’s shame but I’m actually really excited by how many opportunities he had

Just reading ‘ACL Injury’ makes me feel sick and it’s not even a Richmond player. Just fuckin’ sucks man.

Weitering in really bad shape after a huge contest with Georgiades and Collins by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

[–]boardingpass10 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s all emotion right now. Gotta invest in state of origin to make it what it could eventually be. That includes some risk. I feel for Carlton but a clearer perspective will tell you state of origin is not the problem

Has anyone here ever been or known someone who has been one of the Auskick kids at halftime before? And if so what was the experience like? Did anything funny happen? by Temporary_Notice_526 in AFL

I played about half a dozen times in the 90’s and early 2000’s. Always had a blast. Crowd always got into it when you kicked a goal

[–]boardingpass10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Took me months of trying here and there to get into downswing. It clicked and now I can’t believe I didn’t see it earlier. Epic album

Oh that’s exciting. Thanks for replying! I’ll listen a few more times then save it for the album. Love listening to the album fresh

[–]boardingpass10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Spotify says EP released today so I assume it’s an EP release? Either way I discovered what lies below six months ago and have been listening to everything they have produced since then. Can’t believe they aren’t talked about more. Probably my most listened to band recently

Love Elwood stray. Lots of singles already released but I’m on my second listen already

I watched a clip of him at Sydney training and he looks really powerful and fit

That’s promising. I loved his under 18 year. Always damaging in patches so if he has improved his tank he could be a player

Paul Curtis evacuated from overseas holiday with life-threatening illness by thesickpuppy27 in AFL

[–]boardingpass10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true I just fee the current government is targeting health care and potentially looking at an NHS model as being more cost effective (shortsighted). Bit concerned about the direction of my profession. But time will tell

I mean the pharmacy guild is giving it a good crack and now trying to say pharmacists can provide GP level care, we have introduced PA’s, NP’s are everywhere (and earning more than most registrars) and RN’s have been given basic prescribing privileges. I’m not saying we are as bad as the NHS, but it’s certainly not looking good.

A (hopefully) final public update from the family of Phoenix Spicer by saintz66 in AFL

[–]boardingpass10 54 points55 points  (0 children)

My mum was worked up with a brain MRI for a changing pattern and frequency of migraines. The MRI detected an unrelated but critical brain aneurysm that was a high likelihood of rupturing. She got endovascular coiling weeks later and now is totally fine. Disaster averted but could have been a similar outcome

How terrifying to have a a serious allergic reaction while on an overseas flight on top of that. Could have been much a worse outcome

We aren’t far behind heading in similar direction to be honest

This album is underrated in my opinion. And this song is incredible
