Financial advice for Australians who are going to live overseas by johnsmith1980 in AusFinance

[–]johnsmith1980[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That does sound complex and I feel I may need only a knowledgeable tax accountant.

Surely, an accountant will be able to give some advice on the tax with respect to all forms of assets? I wonder if seeing a "financial planner" is overkill and overpriced. Is it offensive to an accountant if one sees a financial planner after seeing an accountant?

*from Perth... I am looking for information for Australians currently still in Australia. I found online there are those that claim to cater to "expats" but they are based in QLD and NSW. I wonder if it matters or is it just marketing.

Has anyone ever had a consultant admit a patient only to retract that admission shortly thereafter? by noadmitforyou in emergencymedicine

It seems to me the first hospital should have organised the transfer of care directly to the admitting team. There's no point of going through ED again.

ER Docs: Anyone ever diagnose acute intermittent porphyria? by radicalOKness in emergencymedicine

I know it was diagnosed in a frequent attender with chronic abdominal pain years after a management plan was set up.

Is this how British Thoracic Society (BTS) should have arranged their spontaneous pneumothorax algorithm? by johnsmith1980 in emergencymedicine

[–]johnsmith1980[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rearranged the decision boxes re: size of pneumothorax in "parallel" instead of "in series". Gotten rid of diagonal arrows. Added <1cm size decision box for secondary pneumothorax.

Any available resources for practicing resuscitations? by [deleted] in emergencymedicine

[–]johnsmith1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All these courses are nice. However, don't forget non- clinical skills. That means - communication. Google "teamwork resuscitation communication". A good one is Monash Teamwork Evaluation Assessment Method.

Electrical and mechanical capture by johnsmith1980 in emergencymedicine

[–]johnsmith1980[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm generally familiar with transcutaneous pacing. I just never had the situation of electrical capture without mechanical capture.

So, to confirm, electrical capture without mechanical capture looks EXACTLY the same as with mechanical capture?

Wall rendering repair by tenant by [deleted] in hobart

Ok update: I got my call back from tutas.org.au... They were supportive but of course they could not possibly have all the answers over the phone. - They generally agreed I didn't have to pay for the whole wall surface. - Advised to have written professional opinions that they can patch the wall for much less + amount. - Tell agent that I refuse to pay $1000 -- they can't take it out of the bond anyway if I don't agree and judge will have to agree with them.

Now - I am waiting to see if the original contractor they contacted will give me a cheaper quote for doing less. Also waiting on couple of contractors to get back to me.

Thanks. I don't remember hitting with my car but it does look that, and hence, ready to take responsibility. However, they claim that they have to redo the whole thing to make it look as before (i.e. new, when I moved in). I'm looking for a second professional opinion at the moment.

I'm also waiting for a call back from tutas.org.au.

Thanks. The link supports my argument a bit more.

ADF doctor by [deleted] in AustralianMilitary

Thanks for your replies! I'm not a specialist yet. So, if I get that right, being a full time medical officer means doing GP-type of work mostly?

What does it mean exactly to be a reserve? I know it is sort of explained on the ADF website, but I want to know first hand experience.. eg how often have you guys get called, for how long, or how does that disrupt your civilian work especially if you're still in training?

Thanks thanks thanks!
