My boss the celebrity

[jillybeanz]

If any of you get WIN news, in W.A., the doc I work for is being interviewed tonight. :clap:

[Mad Old Cow]

well gee can you tell us a little more about the interview lol?

[jillybeanz]

er ...!

Broome is facing a shortage of Drs, with one practice (multiple Drs and also nursing staff) closing and my Doc is retiring at the end of the year. A shame; he is tops.

[Mad Old Cow]

oh okay thankyou Jilly:)
it's bloody awfull the shortage of Dr's we have in Aus & so many Dr's these days only work 2 & 3 days a week so you have to hope you get sick & can get in on their day

[jillybeanz]

Well it seems fame is such a fickle thing. He must not have made it past the cutting room floor - he wasn't on the news tonight after all!!! LMAO ahhhh me ....

[Mad Old Cow]

LMAO @ Jilly

My DD is quite often on the TV news of an evening & often doing talk back radio interview's actually they interviewed her 7 yr old son about the Wetlands a couple of weeks ago he is very knowledgable (sp) about such things for his age

[Supa]

LMAO oops

[jillybeanz]

Crikey that was quick Di! Now how about helping me up from the floor before I pmp!

[Mad Old Cow]

hey i may be old but i am fast around this place LMAO

[jillybeanz]

How very superb that your daughter is on telly and the radio. You must get quite a kick out of that! What channel is she on? Is she a journalist or a consultant because she has knowledge in a certain field?

Did you tape your grandson?

[Mad Old Cow]

Jilly DD is the CEO at the Wetlands Centre & talks a lot about enviromental issues & Tourism etc etc she has won several awards for her excellent work . she is on the NBN channel 3 news when she's on & ofcourse i was'nt told her son was going to be on the radio until it was over ( i am just the mother & grandmother ) lol

[jillybeanz]

That's pretty terrific - you must be very proud! If I were you I would need to buy a size bigger hat! LOL

[miss kiki]

whoops jilly! :hehe:
are you a nurse?!
and did you find out when the right date and time is?! :D

[jillybeanz]

No medical knowledge, Miss K. I just take the bookings!

I guess I will find out the deal when I go to work tomorrow.

[Night Crawler]

There is a nation-wide doctor shortage in Canada too. We might have universal (very basic) health care coverage, but what good is that if you can't find a doctor or if you do, he doesn't give a damn about your issues? Seems more and more countries are facing this issue these days. Doesn't anyone want to be a doctor anymore? I know, it's not nearly that simple and I've heard all the reasons it's happening here, but still.........

[happygirl]

I work in a pharmacy right next door to drs and they are all miserable. One dr had a mini break down in front of a patient. Its quite obvious they just dont care.

[jillybeanz]

Well I'm pleased to say my Doc is terrific. I am so so lucky to have the job I do, with lots of happy 'customers'. 99.9% of patients who come out of his office are delighted at the level of care and attention he gives. He is old school and very thorough. But he will be 70 at end of year so time for him to kick back a little.

[redrobyn]

My doctors are very good, we have husband and wife and another doctor I don't mind any of them you can always get one of them even at short notice, though I consider the wife my doctor she's harder to get. We also have a physiotherapist and a podiatrist, and the husband does acupuncture, they also have specialist nurses that do blood tests, do cardiograms and other minor medical things. Male doctor is also doing my d.d,s prenatal, as he did with 7 year old though that was shared care with ob, gyn.

Don't be surprised if his interview appears several months hence....whenever something similar comes up or it is a slow news day (no offence).

[jillybeanz]

Oh many, many LMAO ... There was my boss on tonight's news for oh ... a whole 6 seconds!!! LMAO And to add insult to injury, the reporter didn't pronounce his name right! Ah boy ... I can't wait to get to work tomorrow and take the P outta him! hehehe
