Fantastic care and patient experience, thank you so much.
I am in Toowoomba and I used for a post procedure pain crisis last year. Thank you it was a very reassuring experience🩷
I have had two admissions over the years, great service and care.
The state & federal health ministers need to work together because GP's are the experts in the community but due to lack of funding, continuity & nurses not working to their full scope of practice all sorts of random preventable patient harm occurs.
Absolutely brilliant!!!
"I’ve been in Brisbane for 46 years, moved here from Bunbury WA. My mother was here having an operation and asked me to come and visit. I wasn’t going to stay, but I made friends and ended up not wanting to leave. Bunbury is a beautiful regional town; I miss the scenery, but not the flies. I’ve been on dialysis here at RBWH for 2 years. Dialysis takes time to adjust to, but I’m used to it now; it’s all part of getting older. Outside of this, I’m grateful for my good health. For Easter, I used to go away a lot. I enjoyed going to Noosa for the long weekend. Sometimes I’d go camping, too. I’ve been overseas 3 times. The first was to the UK in 1978. I stayed with a friend on Portobello Road. A very famous road in London, famous for antiques. I’ve also been to Italy, my favourite place to visit was Pompeii. I haven’t been to Portofino, but it’s somewhere I’d love to go."

Bunbury is a beautiful town! 🐬 Thanks for sharing some of your life story Steven!
M y mother was on Dialysis for 10 years and my Terry for two years. Not good.
Good luck I hope you get better soon
Good luck with your , dialysis, I had a partner that went thru that for nearly 3 year before getting a transplant .
It's not part of getting older. It can happen at any age.
The Easter bunny may be onto something, hopping (and jumping) exercises have great benefits for your health! 🐰❤️🩹

Senior Medical Officer and Head and Neck Specialist Andrew explains how flexible working arrangements and collaborative team culture allows the team to produce the best results for patients.
"We are all travelling along this life and career journey together, we learn things from the young ones all the time. There is a real mentor and mentee relationship," he said.
"Occasionally we will all huddle around an interesting case, where everyone can learn from each other and collaborate. We also mix with a lot of clinicians that ask us questions and provide us information to make our reports better.
"We deal with such a wide variety of things, you’re not going to be pigeonholed into one specialty. It's very 'choose your own adventure' and if you have a specific strength that you are interested in, we can help facilitate that through teamwork and sharing the workload."

Rachael Louise slayyyy Groundy
Had an endoscopy and you didn't show me a photo of my stomach just the tubes...still got worms I should come back
Hey you left me with my bare bum sticking out no staff and someone watching tv when I woke up after a colonoscopy
Even dr yuon the orthopaedic said I had worms and walked out when I was lying on the table in front of three ladies
Average joint still got worms in my intestines stomach and chest
Surely you would have seen the worms in my torso
"I'm originally from Monto, there's not much out that way. I transferred from Monto to Bundaberg and then Bundaberg to here. Advice for my younger self would be to accept the help and don't try to be the perfect mum, it won't work. I thought I could go back to being a normal mum right after my c-section. But when they say that all your pain disappears when you hear the baby cry for the first time, well, it really does."
