  • Who knew?

    Who knew this podcast existed? I’ve worked in various Qld Hospitals for over 20yrs and I have only just stumbled across this podcast.

    I went back to the beginning to pick one to listen to on my drive home from work. I listened to the one on wellbeing and was impressed. It was very easy to listen to, easy to understand (so you don’t have to be a health professional), and as well as being insightful, it gave practical advice that literally anyone could easily implement at least one small sug... more

  • About the Menopause season

    Informative podcast but I still don’t understand how perimenopause can be diagnose other than by listing some symptoms. I think Queensland Health could enforce training on their GPs. The lack of support, information and knowledge is astounding and dangerous.

  • Menopause

    I think saying hot flashes is the most debilitating symptom of menopause underplays ALL of the other symptoms. Many women are not aware of many other symptoms actually being linked to menopause. Joint & muscle pain, insomnia, low libido, vaginal dryness, anxiety… don’t minimize Menopause to Hot flashes!

What happens after someone dies?
Q: What do we do when our loved one dies? Do we need to call an ambulance? Do we need to call the police?

What is it like to care for someone who is dying?
Q: I wanted to find out how the family and friends of people who are admitted to hospital can still be involved in their care.
Dr. Patty explains that hospital staff can take on personal care while family members choose how much they want to participate. Families can also support comfort and familiarity by bringing preferred food, personal belongings and spending quality time together.
What is it like to care for someone who is dying?
Q: Was there a point where those kinds of conversations were had with your mom about if you can't go home, what's important to you and what do you want things to look like?
