Oh, and honeymousey, those of us who don't have to pay a Medicare Levy fork out a huge amount for the Private Hospitalisation coverage for non-PR's. It's compulsory for me, and when I first came, it was AUD 145 a month for hospitalisation only. Now, it has gone up to AUD 165 / mth or so and it's only for hospitalisation and GP fees. No more than that. Bloody ex!!!
All driven up by bloody idiots who keep
heading into hospital for no sickness other than what's in their
own mind and then once admitted, they refuse to leave!
The current hospital bed shortage in public hospitals is bad enough and it doesn't help when the government decided to increase the pay threshold for people who don't have private health insurance before they get taxed more for the medical levy. This just puts more pressure on the public health system.

Precisely lor! That's exactly what the Govt is hoping for!
That, plus the interest they can earn, plus they don't have to fret over tax evasion. There are so many people here with straightforward income tax status, yet they employ accountants to do the job.
I think unless you have massive assets and mortgages etc, you can actually just scrutinise the conditions and file it yourself. Sadly, I realised that a lot of people can speak and write in English, but cannot understand instructions very well.

That's why the Rudd govt should have done their homework properly before implementing this.
This decision will come back to haunt them as public systems become overstretched.
At work, there's already increasing unhappiness because at my workplace, they are STILL in this bloody cost-cutting drive and not only have they eradicated the Clinical Care Coordinator role and left all the work to the nurses, they are recruiting more Div II nurses, which places a HUGE burden and increased workload for us Div I's!
I just hope I can continue to stay on in the ICU because the general ward is like a battlefield these days. Just the other day, I bumped into a poor colleague from the cardiac unit who looked so tired and she said she had to handle four discharges, three planned admissions, five post-ops and a surprise admission during that one 12-hr shift, and she was ready to peng sanz liao!

Wait till you come here... you wanna laugh also cannot... because probably peng sanz from heart attack after looking at the tax amount liao!
Strangely enough, after being taxed, I still earn more than double what I used to back in Singapore. I'm definitely not heading home anytime soon.

Right now, I actually know of one Singaporean nurse who's contemplating leaving here to return back to Singapore for good because she misses the social life and her friends.
I told her honestly that after being away for three years, things change, friends change, she might return to find that her friends have moved on ... without her.
And worse, Singapore is no longer what she used to be three years ago. I mean, I hear enough from you guys and my ex-colleagues, my friends and even my mom to know that the Singapore that I think of fondly in my heart, is a snapshot of the Singapore I left two years ago.
She told me she missed the stressful life, the 'higher standards' and I just told her, remember the bullying at work, the harrassing by patients and relatives, the no freedom to plan your own roster, the alternate 5-day week, the shitty pay, the fact that we have to submit next year's annual leave requests by Oct the previous year... ... Thanks, but no thanks!!

In that case, in 10 years' time, more and more who can would have left the country liao, cause it won't only be the ERP alone that would have increased in price.

Actually in Singapore a car is not necessary
It's more like for convinence and status nia

You should go to the doctor as it looks like you will need antibiotics for the sinusitis. Hope you feel better soon! Take care...

Sinusitis when it blows up is very terrible. You don't want to go through what I did :x

e car I use it is mainly for going to bolehland -
Green snot is definitely a very nasty infection, probably viral.
I think we've discussed what the different colours of snog meant in a previous Club 30 thread some time ago? I think I was the threadstarter.

That's why I like working here. If you take MC, they cannot do anything to you because if you commit an error because you were called in to work whilst you were sick, there are huge legal and Union implications.

Seriously Tare see a doc for this
Once my Sinus got infected and I was running a high fever of 40oC and the mucus was so thick I had NO VOICE. Really NO VOICE. When I try talking no sound comes out for 5 days!!!!!
Btw Tare you better go see a doc before they start giving you the strong and asspensive antibiotics for Sinus Infections
My antibiotics cost 5 bucks a pop!!!!
-
I have had sinusitis a few times before..... each time it wouldn't go away until I had antibitoics.
