If the peptide injectable treatments that you've seen online sound too good to be true, promoting rapid weight loss and flawless skin, then they probably are. 💉🤳
RBWH Pharmacist Sahra strongly advises against the use of any injectable product without consulting proper medical advice first and says that many of these unregulated peptides can cause more harm than good.
“While some, like prescription-only medications such as Ozempic® and insulins, are approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration, the injectable peptides being promoted online often fall outside this regulated category,” she says.
“Many unregulated injectable peptides are sold through wellness websites with health claims including weight loss, muscle growth, anti-aging and enhanced cognitive and athletic performance.
“There are no guarantees that unregulated products contain the correct ingredients or are produced in sterile facilities. Users may unknowingly inject contaminated or poor‑quality substances, or administer incorrect doses, putting their health at serious risk.”
Love your work Sahra!
Pharmacists are making these products and running these unregulated businesses - maybe time to reign in your own
Wood you believe that Kilcoy Hospital Admin Officer Renee is also a champion wood chopper? 🪵
Renee spends her weekdays behind the desk helping our patients and staff, and behind the axe on weekends - having competed for the last 13 years! Renee's secret skill has taken her to the Ekka, the Royal Adelaide Show and the Sydney Royal Easter show and she was selected as a member of the Australian Women’s Woodchopping team in 2019.
"I got into the sport through my husband, he has competed most of his life. I watched him compete at a show and saw that there were ladies competing. I mentioned that I would like to give it a go and have done it ever since," she said.
"I started competing in the Jack and Jill Sawing events then went on to learn how to cut the underhand chop. It is a humbling sport and one that is not easy to learn.
"In September I will be going to Adelaide with the Australian Women’s Team to compete against the New Zealand Women’s team."
We appreciate you staying sharp on the tools at work and with your hobbies, Renee!
Good luck at the event Renee!

My time in Cancer Care...
40 years for me. Good, bad a funny moments. It’s the patients that keep me going. The ones I’ve been there for when they were leaving this world! The families I’ve helped when they are losing a loved one. The saddest moment in their lives. I’ve cried with patients and their families. These times can be beautiful memories. So many other wonderful memories. Seeing a patient leave ICU after a long battle and illness, to go home to their families. I can’t really talk about many funny moments. Sometimes in the hardest times, there are funny moments that make you laugh so hard you cry! That’s sometimes what keeps you going! If you don’t laugh you’d cry. Proud to be a nurse! ❤️
SO PROUD OF YOU! Beautifully said. From a fellow a NURSE and a cousin that loves and cares and respects you so much, your comments warmed my heart!

But then Steven Miles on National TV News regarding Jackie Pulleine's escalations advised "We have a World Class Healthcare system". 🙈🙉🙊 We do NOT because he has taken NO ACTION. 😭😭😭😭 🔍 Instead Steven Miles as the QLD Premier persecuted Shadow Minister Bates reputation. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-24/qld-premier-steven-miles-ros-bates-nastiest-person/103889594 😭😭😭😭 🔍Steven Miles then also didn't support Whistle-blower Australian Labor Party MP Jimmy Sullivan MP who had PTSD after a stillbirth at 25 weeks gestation.

44 years and I’ve pulled the pin. Unfortunately, i can no longer put up with the crap, lack of support from management, expectations of daily overtime, the lack of respect from some medical staff. It got to the point, I did not like the person I became when I went to work. Decisions that are made, that make no logical sense. This is my experience of what nursing has become. Very sad!
"I had a stroke in March; I was at the Royal and then transferred to STARS four weeks ago. I do a bit of everything in the gym, and they got me going pretty quick, to the point where last week I was walking by myself. I was driving back from Caboolture and had my stroke when I got home, so it was lucky it didn't happen on the highway. I'm a handyman, I run my business myself, but I'm not sure if I'll get back to that as I'll have to work on my grip. It was very unexpected, but the staff are really good here and the goal is to get better."

Sometimes in the hardest times, there are funny moments that make you laugh so hard you cry! That’s sometimes what keeps you going! If you don’t laugh you’d cry. Proud to be a nurse! ❤️
SO PROUD OF YOU! Beautifully said. From a fellow a NURSE and a cousin that loves and cares and respects you so much, your comments warmed my heart!

This is making midwives cry because they begged Executive Director of Nursing & Midwifery Alana Geary, QNMU President Sally Anne Jones, Sarah Beaman & Beth Mohle QNMU Secretaries = ALL IGNORED.😭😭😭 🔍 We have lost several babies in Metro North preventably, our vaginal trauma rates are 6% of vaginal births (3rd or 4th degree permanent tears), PPH's of 1000mls 14% of vaginal births, 2 preventable whistleblower midwife suicides 👧 Melinda Hockey 2015 & 👱♀️Bernadette Bennett in 2023= ALL IGNORED.😭😭😭😭 🔍 Meanwhile Jackie Pulleine Midwife Whistleblower & I have been persecuted & reported to AHPRA, Crime & Corruption & Metro North Ethical Standards Commission on vexatious claims. We have both been suicidal & several others have also, 4 were self harming = ALL IGNORED.😭😭😭😭 🔍 x2 Collective Grievances for the bullying culture & workloads & patient safety in 2019 & 2021= NO ACTION. 😭😭😭😭 🔍 x2 HHS Investigations in 2019 & 2021= NO ACTION.😭😭😭😭 🔍 Our beautiful Union Midwifery Organiser 👵 Kim Ramsdale escalated to Board Chair Jim McGowan & was also persecuted by Alana Geary, the Industrial Relations dept of Metro North & the QNMU = NO ACTION 😭😭😭😭 🔍 Kim died on her 67th birthday on 3rd Oct 2025 from stress either by suicide or cardiac scrolling her Facebook posts, due to their bullying.😭😭😭😭 🔍 Health Minister Shannon Fentiman ignored a Ministerial briefing from several Midwives & Nurses regarding the suicides & others suicidal across QLD. 😭😭😭😭 🔍 Ros Bates MP Shadow Minister for Health & David Crisafulli as Shadow Premier listened to us. But then Steven Miles on National TV News regarding Jackie Pulleine's escalations advised "We have a World Class Healthcare system". 🙈🙉🙊 We do NOT because he has taken NO ACTION. 😭😭😭😭 🔍 Instead Steven Miles as the QLD Premier persecuted Shadow Minister Bates reputation. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-24/qld-premier-steven-miles-ros-bates-nastiest-person/103889594 😭😭😭😭 🔍Steven Miles then also didn't support Whistle-blower Australian Labor Party MP Jimmy Sullivan MP who had PTSD after a stillbirth at 25 weeks gestation. So he was removed by the QLD ALP then also died by a fall or suicide. www.sbs.com.au/news/article/queensland-mp-jimmy-sullivan-found-dead/o3f5ult9t 😭😭😭😭 🔍 Are you listening Australian Federal Police Queensland Police Service Australian Human Rights Commission Queensland Human Rights Commission Tim Nicholls MP Anthony Albanese. I told Premier David Crisafulli & Cameron Dick MP that the other whistleblower midwives remain suicidal. There are at eleast 4 of them. The Mothers & Midwives are all going to public disclosure Supreme Court because Alana Geary, our Chief Midwife Liz Wlikes, the QNMU & Steven Miles are all in cahoots, had the power & did absolutely NOTHING. 😭😭😭 🔍 Alana & the executives even told the ABC investigative Journalist Rory Calihan that Jackie Pulleine was an unreliable whistleblower because of her mental health. But it was Alana Geary & Sally Anne Jones that caused it by not listening & persecuting her. Just like me as the CMC of Birthing Services. 😭😭😭😭 www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-09/redcliffe-hospital-allegations-of-flawed-care-after-baby-deaths/10... www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-29/ombudsman-reports-on-redcliffe-hospital-maternity-care-failures/10... 🔍 The CNC of the Nursery was also in Belmont Private Hospital suicidal. 😭😭😭😭 ABHORRENT leadership wishing nurses & midwives happy international nursing & midwives day whilst persecuting Whistleblowers. 😭😭😭😭
44 years and I’ve pulled the pin. Unfortunately, i can no longer put up with the crap, lack of support from management, expectations of daily overtime, the lack of respect from some medical staff. It got to the point, I did not like the person I became when I went to work. Decisions that are made, that make no logical sense. This is my experience of what nursing has become. Very sad!
"I had a stroke in March; I was at the Royal and then transferred to STARS four weeks ago. I do a bit of everything in the gym, and they got me going pretty quick, to the point where last week I was walking by myself. I was driving back from Caboolture and had my stroke when I got home, so it was lucky it didn't happen on the highway. I'm a handyman, I run my business myself, but I'm not sure if I'll get back to that as I'll have to work on my grip. It was very unexpected, but the staff are really good here and the goal is to get better."
