Specialist visit

After a 3 month wait, I finally got to see the ENT specialist today. I'd been told it would cost $150 - no bulk billing allowed. Signs up everywhere - this practice does not bulk bill. But, I was bulk billed. Was it because I informed the Doctor that there is such a thing as medicinal grade olive oil, available from chemists, which he had never heard of before, or did he just like the look of my happy face this morning? Whatever it was, I've got more money in my pocket, and he has less in his. Wonders do happen.

An unusual response from your Doctor Bev..............It really must have been ...........The Look On Your Happy Face...that did the trick







............ :lol: :lol:

your lucky Bev,I have been waiting since January to see an ENT specialist in Brisbane.Did see a private one in Jan -couldnt afford his fees 5000 for an op.Plus he told me as he would be working near the eye socket I could end up blind. No thanks rather have the sinus and ear probs than that.

I would have thought that there would be more specialists available in the capital cities. Of course, still waiting for the eye specialist - that's 5 to 9 months. Sometimes you just have to put up with the condition you have, rather than undergo the knife. Wish I'd known that back in 1975. Wouldn't have had the operation with a 95% success rate. I was one of the unfortunate 5%. Totally irreversible of course. Oh well, after all this time, I've become accustomed to the irreversible damage cause by the operation. It could have worked out, if I was lucky..

Just a thought for sinus problems.



I found that sinus problems were relieved by taking garlic pills of all things. Sinus's still run a bit in the early morning on rising but then pack it in for the day and I don't get that I cant breathe panic in the night any longer as my nose no longer blocks right up. Take Herron's as they add oil of peppermint so no reflux. Worth a try. I pay $6.99 for them on line or $8.99 in town at Priceline. My price range.
