When did it become ok for HCP to #blacklist you for having your #ownopinion about your health? Asked for #secondopinion about #rheumatoidarthritis because was told pain #allinmyhead I disagreed! Second specialist works in same place as the first specialist. Referral #denied! WT?!

Wow @Apple when you need help with one of your products now and can’t get to a store you don’t have a support phone number anymore! Just a textline that asks the same questions over and over! And goes nowhere! Why does this not surprise me 😡

Today two tradies turn up at #mynewbuild large buckets & long power cord in hand. They stop when they see me! “Oh you live here now?” I nod. “We have been “borrowing”power and H2O for months from this site” WT??!! @SimondsHomes at best #deceitful and worst #stealing!
Have the #lifesavingtechnology so lucky when you live in #australia with #type1diabetes oh no wait. Still can’t get #ananswer to y I have#noNBN 😡 @DiabetesAus @1healthminister @Telstra @RenzaS ombudsman “not their scope to advocate??!!”@JDRFaus @JayneEdHealth @DIPadvocate17
How do you as a company @SimondsHomes think that you will continue to remain in business if you blame your customers for your mistakes? Don’t return calls, don’t return emails, rush through selections appointments, overcharge, make females feel 2nd rate!
When a #person questions you as a #HCP because they take an interest in their own health do you take offense that they are ? your “authority” on the subject? I am often “labeled” difficult when I asked questions of my team yet if I don’t then I am “non compliant!” How do I “win”?

I would love to know what others think @JayneEdHealth @AmandaGalbBuykx @pharmerfour
#personcentredcare training with ⁦@JayneEdHealth⁩ so important for people with diabetes and anyone with chronic health conditions

#Pharmacists are experts in quality use of medicines (QUM). QUM includes minimising medicine misuse & using non-drug strategies wherever possible. Pharmacist medication review can identify #chemicalrestraint & assist w developing a deprescribing plan

Or it’s caused by “depression of living with a chronic health condition” roll on ten years of CONSTANT telling HCP that something WAS NOT right..... SLE (lupus) and psoriasis arthritis! Joint damage irreversible 😡
Kindly suggestion to all diabetes hcp’s that if your patient or carers suggest that there are other issues not related to the actual diabetes causing problems then please listen and take seriously. People should not have to wait over a decade because of “oh it’s the diabetes”

Was diagnosed @18months old as #type1diabetic am now 49 have spent my whole life arguing with both medics and carers to look beyond the condition.. eventually got them to scan & remove non related ovarian cysts after 10 yrs of fighting 😣
Why are we telling PWD to stop eating carbohydrates? HCP included? ESP when they are on insulin? This is incorrect info and #dangerous! Again better #education is needed b4 there is a serious event! @JayneEdHealth @AUDiabetesSoc @ADSADEA @DiabetesAus @Brettfenton4
Great idea!

Really?? I agree challenge!
When your an essential worker, work in the Melbourne city & they fine you for parking on the streets when car parks have been forced to close, that’s cruel & opportunistic. As a nurse I’m wondering if it’s worth going in. Uber/taxis is expensive? PT is unsafe @DanielAndrewsMP
I thought about pretending to be #demented oh no wait we STOPPED using THAT word years ago for GOOD reason #Languagematters

Time for dramatic sit-com like explosion Kirrily.
For once I am totally lost for words! #unacceptable
The behaviour you walk past is the the standard you accept, so let us all reflect on when we’ve seen this, not done something or said this is not acceptable, because it’s just not.
