So, sitting the the ED at the Austin Hospital today, you get chatting to people.

The Austin has quite a good setup, they have an after hours GP clinic right near the ED to take the non urgent traffic. This means that people aren't waiting 6 hours to get seen or leaving while the more acute cases roll through.

You still go through the ED and get triaged first so they can make the call as to which path you take.

So I went in having sliced into my finger big time. Saw the traige clerk then went straight to a nurse who unwrapped the tea towel on my hand, (after laying down the appropriate protection) looked and headed off to get some supplies. What he hadn't counted on was that I'd been keeping pressure on the wound on the way in, so once he unwrapped it, it took about 10 seconds before it started pissing out blood again.

So he gives it a wipe down, realises its a tad deep and a lot bleeding,
and whatever initial plan he had wasn't going to work, and wraps it back up and off I go to the GP clinic.

With me were an IT guy who injured his wrist trying to replace the rubber on his spear gun and a young lady who got kicked in the hand by a horse.

So after a while, and having determined that there was no nerve or tendon damage, the doc was able to patch it up using a metric fuckload of steri strips rather than stitches, whack a waterproof skin over it and wrap it up like a mummy for a couple a days.


More likely he hurt his wrist because he's built like a horse and she's his partner. Wink

Riding my bike back from work this arvo. Stopped at boomgates at Glen Eira Road, got in front of two cars.

When the boomgates opened I crossed over & waved thanks to the front car that let me through.

Met up with her 200 meters later at a set of lights. She had her passenger side window down

I remarked that she had a little problem with her car. In concern she asked me what it was. I replied that she had a Melbourne sticker on the back

She replied: It's not a little problem Laughing Laughing

Was pulled up at a rail crossing, the bike in the lane beside me went through as soon as the gates started to lift whilst the lights were still flashing, after turning right in between the cars on the other side still stopped the front car turned its flashing red and blue lights on and followed them into the carpark Laughing

The Senate has voted 35 to 32 in favour of censuring Attorney-General George Brandis. Now that has made me laugh. Laughing

Sure there would have been a shriek of "Police Harassing cyclists" on Twitter soon afterwards. Wink

Could well be my GP. She blames Melbourne for all her drinking problems and her husband is a Magpie man.

Only if you don't have an RPG in the back of the car, I'm told.

If it makes sense, and it does, I can't see why not. Ok only those that think tram stops make targets.
