The Gillard Government

[medicowallet]

Ahhhhhhhhh yes but a very rich fool.

Young ??? Young??? Chronologically challenged ??? You do me proud MD. Yet another misdiagnosis.

Nope ...... you did not say anything about misdiagnosis. You were too quick to prattle on about how your vocation is more stressful and more important than any other job in the world and you went on to say that the "lay man" would not comprehend the "extraordinary" responsibilities you suffer in your line of work.

Whoooooppeeeeeeeeee ...... you are a doctor. An associate of mine is a retired nuclear physicist and yet another is a psychologist. I also include truck drivers and plumbers in my sphere of operations.

My decisions are easy are they?? So when the tow rope has snapped in 5 metre seas and howling 35 knots from the South West in 151 metres of depth do I call on you to get in the water to swim? Just LOL.

1. Very, is relative. Not too many court costs for when your workers die?
2. Just seemed that you are young. Aren't you?
3. It is all with probabilities. Nobody can ever guarantee anything about the human body, so many variables. Misdiagnosis is inevitable, medicine is an artform, and something you clearly do not understand with your black and white viewpoint.
4.How often does your tow rope snap? How many of your crew have died due to the decisions you have made? How well do you sleep at night? Hell no, I am not going out in that!! I know my skills and limitations.

I know my reply has upset you, but clearly your decisions, however important, are insignificant to the number that a doctor makes each day. You can try to argue that a plumber makes the same amount of serious decisions every day, but to do so makes your argument flounder and sorry, but I assume most realistic people would disagree with you too.

Be a good Doc and take a chill pill old wizened one.

The agony you must put people through every day would be unbearable.

Come to think of it ..... I might have to self medicate myself right now.

Ahhhhhhhhh yes but a very rich fool.

Does the amount of money one purports to have mitigate one's foolishness?

I would have thought a fool is a fool.

A fool and his money are soon parted I believe. I have done some very foolish things in my time. Making money was not one of them.

1/ You didn't answer my question.

2/ Is it important to you to broadcast how rich you are?

3/ Where do you think you fall in the wealth ranks of ASF?

1/ Sorry ..... was off on a tangent.

2/ Nope ....... you are right. It is not important at all to me or to anyone else.

3/ I would suggest I would be somewhere in the middle range. GG has an Arnage. I do not. Tech/a has said it costs 600k a month to run his business. Nowhere near that kind of turnover for me.

lol, pretty close to the mark!!

I have to bite my tongue constantly, however I never let it slip.

Hahaah a aaha ........ good onya Doc ! Love your work. It has been noted that you have been in less than perfect humour lately.

I think you both should have A Cup Of Tea, A Bex and A Good Lie Down.

Offsiders was certainly stacked pro-Labor this morning. On the Labor side were Barrie Cassidy and Julia Gillard, with Laura Tingle and Lenore Taylor representing the Fairfax Press. Michael Stutchbury from the Australian was interrupted ( and "corrected") every time he spoke, by the po-faced Lenore Taylor.

Gillard was interviewed by Cassidy. She is clearly rattled by Tony Abbott. She turned every question to an attack on Tony "Abbert."

 

[noco]

I would like her accept an invitation on the Bolt show 4.30pm Sunday.

She is bound to say no way Mr Bolt.

...Gillard was interviewed by Cassidy. She is clearly rattled by Tony Abbott. She turned every question to an attack on Tony "Abbert."

She has to get the "r" in somewhere. Last election campaign, she took much pleasure in slurring the r between the Mr and the Abbott to sound like Mr Rabbit.

But I don't think she is so happy to have the "r" added to Julia - even though it describes the situation perfectly, imo...

 

[sails]

Here we go with the rorting again - money making from "Building the Entertainment Revolution"...

COMPANIES being paid $350 to install set-top boxes for pensioners are giving the work to sub-contractors for just $84.

Most builders don't know what 90 degrees is

Wow tree get shaken or what ,where did that come from
I'd agree with that there are a lot of trades that don't know what they are doing. Considering you can get a resi builders license in 6 months now. But I'd say doctors are along the same lines of incompetence. There are some good and a lot of 4 minute diagnosis wonders "heres your antibiotics" types. I had the three doctors that couldn't diagnose my sons mumps that my 80yo Nan managed in the first second of seeing him.

I know my reply has upset you, but clearly your decisions, however important, are insignificant to the number that a doctor makes each day. You can try to argue that a plumber makes the same amount of serious decisions every day, but to do so makes your argument flounder and sorry, but I assume most realistic people would disagree with you too.

Plumbers come on
Flight traffic control, officers in armed forces, offshore oil rig workers, safety officers mines or construction and a host of others all have just as or more than difficult jobs that affect lives every day. In fact head nurses deal with more crap then most doctors.
For the average doctor in the medical centre that just churns through flu patients and misdiagnoses anything else, well they are not much better then our builder that doesn't know what 90 degrees is. Same with any profession a whole heap of turn ups and then there are those that are good at their job. I have nothing but respect for those doctors on their game though.

Back on topic small business is copping a lot of hits from the Gillard government regarding red tape. Sole traders are about to be hit and business has well and truly soured on labor. I'm not to sure if labor is trying to achieve the death of the 'self-employed tag to trap everyone into employee status or what?
The anger towards this government is building

 

[Julia]

The anger towards this government is building

Yes, it is. And the attempted distraction of the First Bloke interview, including discussion about him marrying Ms Gillard, being plastered all over several papers today will probably only increase the discontent.

Yes, I image she has visions of herself being driven by carriage through the streets with millions of adoring fans. I don't think she realises how much respect she has lost by deceiving the people - or she perhaps she knows but doesn't want to face reality.

It's not a wedding I would bother to watch. It would be rather flat after the real royal wedding. To hear her saying "oye do" doesn't exactly inspire any patriotic sentiment...

But, maybe others would be more interested - each to their own. But whether she does or she doesn't, it will be an event that comes to an end and then it will be back to conning the nation into her myriad of seemingly bizarre hare brained schemes once again.

1. Learn to read prior posts to learn what I was referring to.

2. Head nurses LOVE it when doctors come in and take any responsibility off them.

3. I think comparing AT controllers etc is just a joke. How many people died in AT control accidents in Australia last year? How many oil rig workers? How many defence force personel?

You will never understand the decision making process until you have done it for yourself. So please, continue to live in your safe world where the decisions you make one day are very unlikely to result in the harm of others, or less importantly the health of yourself the next.

What if it was meningitis and not mumps? Diagnosis and treatment with probabilities is dangerous, and the type of decisions made are not for everyone, especially those with limited understanding of the real world.

The Gillard government is definitely looking like a rudderless ship. The budget was a joke and the lack of cofidence is being demonstrated by the stock market and consumer spending.
Now this week we have Julia telling us that people will see through Tony's negativity, talk about self denial. Now she tops it off by trying to change the focus of the agenda by marriage speculation. This get funnier and funnier at least Bob knows where his best chance of a double wedding is.
At least Bob is honest when he says he is going to support these idiots, if they go he goes anyway. Still depends on the Independents holding rank I can't see it if the polls keep heading south and still no goals from the government.
After 4 years what do they have to show a half ar$$$ed internet upgrade that no one wants a blowout in government debt and a prayer that China keeps us out of the $#!t.
Thats not governing it is winging it on a hope and a prayer.

Pumpkin Coach I believe that would be.

She would do it if she thought it would boost her re-election chances, however it doesn't always work out;

Nicolas Sarkozy has held on to his title of the most unpopular president in the history of the Fifth republic, dashing any hopes of a Bruni-Sarkozy baby boost to his re-election chances.
