I feel she's making it up of what she's saying, I work in a Hospital ED, very rare I've see a doctor puting a cannula,, they just tell the nurses what they need!!
Sounds like you aren't in Queensland! NSW sounds a bit behind us. Glad you and your wife were able to move here and work in what you wanted. Hope you stay here, your kids should have a better life here. Cheers mate.
Competent interviewer. I am glad the Doc and his family are liking Oz. It seems to me that he and his Paediatrician wife would be a great fit for the RFDS, which he mentioned.
I’m not sure where this doctor is working in NSW but most metro hospitals EMR. Maybe this doc works in a private hospital where there is still paper notes and poor nursing ratios. Most nurses in state funded hospitals do cannulas, give med, do wound care, provide patient education and definitely have a bigger role than mentioned here. I don’t think I’ve seen a doctor hang a bag of fluid or give oral meds in an ED and I’ve worked in a number of EDs across Australia
Agree, I have had 2 ED visits in the last 3 months at 2 different Public hospitals in Melbourne. Nurses took blood, gave fluids arranged and took me for CTs etc. Discharge notes/drugs and follow-up visits were all online and accessible by me and my doctor.
Yup. Regular hospital visitor due to my condition. Both on wards and in Emergency. Doctors don't hang fluids and have never had a doctor hand me my medication. Ever!
I would have thought that an important difference between the US and Australia on the “life balance” ledger is four weeks annual paid (!!) leave and , in the longer term, paid long service leave. That is of course if you are an on-staff salaried Dr and not a self employed ‘contractor’.
Nurses in Australia basically do everything except write prescriptions. I once had a doctor in a hospital that was about to retire. He had to give me an IVF. So he called a nurse to do it. He admitted in his 25yr career as a doctor he had never used syringes and needles. The nurses admistrate them it's their job. It's also easy to confuse a nurse for a doctor. Some nurses in rare cases are so highly skilled they get paid more then doctors.
I am in Canberra and some of the rescue helicopters fly directly over my house going to and from Canberra Hospital (a major hospital for the region). I take an interest in where they are going (using flight radar) because my daughter is often riding horses out in the country and drives on the country roads. Thanks for your work.
I don’t know where in Australia you are practicing but in advance thankyou for your work. I live in Perth Western Australia and both our GP’s and Public Hospitals, our perception’s are done by computer. 2 year’s ago I spent 5 weeks in our newest hospital called Fiona Stanley Hospital. I was in ICU for 3 weeks and then 2 weeks on the general ward. When I was in the ICU the Nursing was one on one, so you had a nurse with you at all times and they were the ones who gave you your medication and did everything you needed. The Doctor’s would do at least 2 rounds a day and there would be a computer operator with them with a computer on a trolley and every thing the doctor’s said and wanted done would be put in to your records on the computer. Also the radiology department department is open 24 hours a day and if you need a CT scan or an MRI urgently through the night their would be some one to do them. Also my stay didn’t cost me a cent. The hospital supplied me with all the medications I needed to take home with me and even though it’s a Public Hospital I at all times had a private room and bathroom and the hospital sent all my records to my GP. In closing I do know that in the bigger cities in Australia that you won’t get some of the same thing’s I did but that doesn’t mean you won’t be well looked after.
This is so interesting to watch as someone who has had rheumatoid arthritis since I was a toddler, had 7 joint replacements by the time I was 34, 2 kids, many emergency visits, about 30 operations all up I ahce found a lot of what he has said is done to not be anything like I have experienced in Sydney hospitals, Central Coast of NSW hospitals & Cairns hospital. I've never had a Dr do an Iv for me ever! Never in emergency & never for scheduled surgeries or stays they've always been nurses/ Anesthesic nurse. There are also lots of hospitals that are paper free. Macquarie hospital in Sydney is paper free and has been for years. I was first there in 2015 the day after Prince Harry visited & it was paperless then. No paper charts or anything not to mention most GPs (I know this isn't emergency medicine) now use the e-script system with medicines so the prescription gets sent straight to your phone like a QR code that gets scanned at the pharmacy. I've never had Drs spend long bouts of time with me or my kids in ED except my daughter when she had an injury so it was an opthamologist who spend extensive time testing her eye. Even then what an amazing experience. We go to emergency around 5pm, seen within about 15mins of arrival, after tests are done seen by plastic surgeons, sent home around 7:30pm then back again the next morning at 8am for plastic surgery to fix/ clean the wound on her face so close to her eye, then home by about 3pm & all of it was free covered by our public medical system & she got the best care every dept she visited in the hospital.
It's interesting listening to non-Australians learning about our country. A statistic that often blows their mind, is that 40% of our entire population lives in just Melbourne and Sydney - the two major cities.
More than 50% of the Australian population (about 26m) live in just three cities: Sydney (5.3m), Melbourne (5m) and Brisbane (2.3m). In NSW (8.16m pop), Most of the population are in Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong. There is a joke in regional NSW that NSW stands for Newcastle, Sydney and Wollongong, and that the government doesn't care about the rest of the state.
Wow, I know the population is concentrated in the cities, but not to that extent - but when you consider that the biggest station covers a greater area than all the islands that make up the state of Hawaii, maybe it isn't that surprising/
My youngest son presented to the local hospital 3 times in 4 days with typical dehydration symptoms. We lived in a hot climate. On the third visit they decided to keep the boy in for observatins (7 year old). This was mostly to settle my wife who insisted that there must be more wrong. He had a seasure overnight and then the tests started. Within a week he was having brain surgery for a tumour that took his life nearly 12 months later.
Since everyone is wondering but not looking it up before commenting, according to a Google search, he spent 3 months at Bunbury Regional Hospital, WA in 2021 then went to Careflight based in Sydney, NSW.
Is this even real??? We live in rural NSW and I have only seen my doctor use a pen to sign referrals. ALL the doctors in our town of 6,600 use computers for everything - prescriptions can be printed if you want, but I usually say I would like it sent by email to the pharmacy we use. I am struggling to believe this guy is even a doctor! I haven't seen a paper record in 25 or 30 years.
If you have a telecall with your GP the prescriptions are sent to directly to your phone which you then take to the chemist. Or they’ll sent it to your chemist. If you see the GP in person then you’re given a written script. If you need a referral to a specialist the GP gives you a written referral but they also send the referral directly to the specialist via computer. It’s easy and straightforward.
Amazing, as an Aussie I was slightly obsessed with America and have travellled there 6 times and would have loved to live there but over the past few years things have changed and I'm very glad to live in this wonderful country and I know a few Americans wanting to move here! How the times have changed...
Specialist registration means you have completed the long course of study after the basic degree, and means you can work as a consultant, in hospials or private practice. But sure, even though GP is a specialty, you can work as GP while you attend the requisite hours of training courses and conferences.
What hospital/clinic did he work at in Australia? In past 20yrs I have been to 6 Australian hospitals in three states, and several clinics. None use paper charts. Everything is on computers and tablets. If a patient wants they can have a prescription printed out instead of emailing the prescription to a pharmacy/chemist.
At the moment there are a few remote town that have an incentive program to get General practitioners like a free house/ car and even up to $100k wage for the first year
It seems like the nurse shortage in NSW is the reason for Doctors taking bloods etc, this isn't standard practice in Adelaide and SA, I doubt it would be in NSW either, although a shortage of nurses in NSW has effected procedures, also I haven't received a written prescription in years.
Im in Queensland and everything is electronic, those stupid computers seem to be the be all and end all in hospitalnd they STILL get it wrong. Also I have only had prescriptions via a phone app, it keeps all my scripts together and I can see immeiately what I need, or how many repeats I have left. I havent had a written one for a couple of years.
I’m not a doctor but generally in Australia, the Federal Gov’t controls medical pay structures. An MP ( Medical Practitioner ) or local doctor, has a structured fee scale and controlled income stream. A specialist can charge whatever they want and a Mr even more.
I'm sorry that this doctor has had a different experience to what happens in Australian Hospitals, maybe he has not worked in teaching hospitals, or perhaps he has worked in the outback. Nurses who work in specialised areas such as Intensive Care, Operating Theatres, Recovery Rooms, Accident and Emergency, Cardiac and etc etc are highly specialised in their fields, all of them are highly skilled in all the different types of cannulations. All nurses give medications, wound care, catheterization, , they are involved in resuscitation and other emergencies, and all of them follow the protocols for different conditions. All nurses in all areas be specialised or ward care, are overwhelmed with heavy work, due to the shortage of nurses, so IV cannulations in the wards are sometimes done by phlebotomies to assist them. The nurse /patient ratio is abysmal and dangerous, (thanks to ignorant politicians' interference with the budgets in hospitals). In the wards Doctors are only called when there is a concern or a sudden deterioration in a patient's condition, it is rare when a doctor would insert cannulas, they would never give medications, or do wound care, they would write prescriptions. In specialised areas, nurses have much more intervention in patient care. In my time, postgraduate courses of Intensive care and Operating Theatres courses took us 2 years each, plus the Plebotomy course, working in teaching hospitals we were encouraged to do postgraduate courses that would benefit our chosen area, and we were paid for each postgraduate course if the courses we took were relevant to our chosen speciality.
I would like to know where about this Dr is located in an emergency department if he is only seeing 1 patient an hour. His explanation maybe the reason why we have big ambulance ramping times because they cant get into the hospital emergency departments and 5/6hour patient waiting time for walk in patients. Greetings from Western Australia 🇦🇺
I'm not sure where he is working but even in Tasmania the doctors don't do any of that the Nurses do everything you hardly see the doctors. And as for writing stuff down giving you an envelope to give to your doctor. I have not done that since they started using the internet. Very strange
Hey Justin, this is your opportunity to write a 'paper' on the costs for physicians to move to Australia. I am sure those who would follow will appreciate it.
Never ever in my 63 years of life had a doctor insert a canula! Nurses do it here in Australia; I'm not sure what sort of facility this guyis working in.
Thank you to this doctor for contributing to the Australian healthcare system. Unfortuntely, a previous PM who (as treasurerer) abolished Medibank universal health insurance in 1976, then as PM began the slow-boiled-frog destruction of Medicare, in order to bring in the failed American 'healthcare system'. Hopefully the new govt fixes up the mess left by the conservatives over the last 25 years.
Hmmmm, never seen a Dr do canulas, IVs, blood tests etc etc. They order them, but the nurses who are highly trained to the level of drs, and do better jobs, usually do these things or resident pathologist. The only time one sees a Dr in a hospital is when they come to see you before and after surgery, discharging patients and organising medication through the pharmacist. I don't know what he's talking about 🤷🏼♀️🤔. Oh ok, he has redeemed himself, as he said Hobart was a cool place 😅🤗
My lovely African born doctor in inland NSW just left to work in Perth and specifically said it was the sea and beaches for his kids that made him move.
A lot of of this sound like someone talking of second hand knowledge. You don’t come to Australia for an interview to come here you visit the nearest embassy/consol and my two Children are RNs ( now considered best in work) and Doctors don’t do shit
Rubbish I'm afraid.......he's working in a remote regional hospital. MRIs Cat Scans are 24 hours a day. No-one in Australian medicine has been doing paper records for years and years..... all their records on computer for decades. Pleeeease!
here is 10small tips to any US citizen that wants to come to Australia. 1. leave your attitude along with your guns at the departure lounge. 2. don't panic! it will be there waiting for you when you get back, we don't want it. 3. you cannot buy, nor carry a gun over here, this is not the wild west as it is in the USA. 4. enjoy the sites the food and the different cultures. 5. Australia has a culture, they have song, dance and food and we are proud of it. 6. The US has, Levi's jeans, McDonalds, mass shootings, guns and bombs and you are proud of it? 7. take lots of photo's, buy the occasional souvenir. 8. when you get back to the US "the home of the brave and the free," pick up your gun and your attitude, you will notice it is still there in tact as you left it. 9. Show your friends the photo's and tell them you had a nice time. 10. Oh and don't forget to tell your friends you experienced real freedom for the first time in your life not having to carry a gun!
@@colinflenley1203 Pay very close attention here, I will write this slowly just for you. In the American national anthem is there a line "O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?" now who is the wanker? here is a clue walk over to the mirror and have a look that is where you will find the answer.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 NO you pay very close attention and Read it again with your eyes open. @colinflenley1203 said and I quote. "REAL FREEDOM" No one could care less about what your national anthem says. You can say what you have is Freedom but obviously you have no concept of what that means.
@@njsmkmmsthatsit3518 So the rest you agree with? Would you like to challenge me on real freedom? Do you have the freedom to walk down the street and not be in fear of being shot at any time of the day? If you don't and can't then you don't have REAL FREEDOM!
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 So the rest of what? am I supposed to be agreeing or not with? Would I like to challenge you on real freedom? No I think you have already challenged me and my patients way too much. Mate clearly it's waaaaay too hard for you to believe that things are different in other countries. So yes in Australia we have the freedom to walk down the street and we are not in fear of being shot at any time of the night or day. We all can in Australia and that's the absolute truth. No we are not quivering little wimps that think we are in mortal danger 24/7. We don't feel the need to arm ourselves against other armed people. We would never say "Oh another mass shooting, we need more people with more guns. That'll fix it" Any way if you are serious about the difference then look up our gun laws. Look up numbers of shootings here. Look up the last time we had a mass shooting here in Australia. How many were killed in that shooting. Look at what happened after that, lawwise. Mr Google is your friend. I have tried to talk to Americans about this subject many times before but their problem is they think every where is the same as America and no where could possibly be better. It's as if you cannot even imagine it could be different or better. So I have learned not to get into it. It's just a massive waste of my time and a lesson in frustration and futility. I go away thinking WTF do they do to their kids at school that makes them turn out so closed minded. Sorry but Kaitlyn is correct when she said she doesn't want to be considered a "dumb American". Lots of us end up thinking that people from the US are dumb. It's annoying because intuitively I know not to stereotype people, I know that not all of you can possibly be stupid. Yet I come in contact with no end of you that are the same. I end up thinking less and less of you and your country folk every time I communicate with one of you. There's a reason for that.
don't come here thinking that it will give u a better life and that applying for a doctor or nurse is better in one country than the other its not Aus still has problems with the medicine/medical industry I wish people stop advertising this country as glamourise it is anything but that u can say the same thing about uk or Canada that has a good healthcare system but there r problems and at the end of the day it is still 1000 u r spending nothing different to America
I feel she's making it up of what she's saying, I work in a Hospital ED, very rare I've see a doctor puting a cannula,, they just tell the nurses what they need!!

We have nurses who write prescriptions. They are called Nurse Practitioners. Usually in ICU wards and children's wards.

here is 10small tips to any US citizen that wants to come to Australia.
1. leave your attitude along with your guns at the departure lounge.
2. don't panic! it will be there waiting for you when you get back, we don't want it.
3. you cannot buy, nor carry a gun over here, this is not the wild west as it is in the USA.
4. enjoy the sites the food and the different cultures.
5. Australia has a culture, they have song, dance and food and we are proud of it.
6. The US has, Levi's jeans, McDonalds, mass shootings, guns and bombs and you are proud of it?
7. take lots of photo's, buy the occasional souvenir.
8. when you get back to the US "the home of the brave and the free," pick up your gun and your attitude, you will notice it is still there in tact as you left it.
9. Show your friends the photo's and tell them you had a nice time.
10. Oh and don't forget to tell your friends you experienced real freedom for the first time in your life not having to carry a gun!
You serious, we are the land of the Free, hahahahaha it’s not even in our constitution ya wanker
@@colinflenley1203 Pay very close attention here, I will write this slowly just for you.
In the American national anthem is there a line "O'er the land of the free
and the home of the brave?" now who is the wanker? here is a clue walk over to the mirror and have a look that is where you will find the answer.
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 NO you pay very close attention and Read it again with your eyes open. @colinflenley1203 said and I quote. "REAL FREEDOM" No one could care less about what your national anthem says. You can say what you have is Freedom but obviously you have no concept of what that means.
@@njsmkmmsthatsit3518 So the rest you agree with? Would you like to challenge me on real freedom? Do you have the freedom to walk down the street and not be in fear of being shot at any time of the day? If you don't and can't then you don't have REAL FREEDOM!
@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 So the rest of what? am I supposed to be agreeing or not with?
Would I like to challenge you on real freedom? No I think you have already challenged me and my patients way too much.
Mate clearly it's waaaaay too hard for you to believe that things are different in other countries. So yes in Australia we have the freedom to walk down the street and we are not in fear of being shot at any time of the night or day. We all can in Australia and that's the absolute truth. No we are not quivering little wimps that think we are in mortal danger 24/7. We don't feel the need to arm ourselves against other armed people. We would never say "Oh another mass shooting, we need more people with more guns. That'll fix it"
Any way if you are serious about the difference then look up our gun laws. Look up numbers of shootings here. Look up the last time we had a mass shooting here in Australia. How many were killed in that shooting. Look at what happened after that, lawwise. Mr Google is your friend.
I have tried to talk to Americans about this subject many times before but their problem is they think every where is the same as America and no where could possibly be better. It's as if you cannot even imagine it could be different or better. So I have learned not to get into it. It's just a massive waste of my time and a lesson in frustration and futility. I go away thinking WTF do they do to their kids at school that makes them turn out so closed minded. Sorry but Kaitlyn is correct when she said she doesn't want to be considered a "dumb American". Lots of us end up thinking that people from the US are dumb.
It's annoying because intuitively I know not to stereotype people, I know that not all of you can possibly be stupid. Yet I come in contact with no end of you that are the same. I end up thinking less and less of you and your country folk every time I communicate with one of you. There's a reason for that.
Haha “climate change”….. stick to what you know. But all the best to you.
Obama built a home on the beach in Hawaii😂😂😂
