Re: Tabaluga's

@SmilingGecko 

I'm extremely lucky - ma & pa cover my medical bills and doctors/tests sometimes cost less on the pension. Three of my specialists also bulk bill me.

But I wouldn't have made it this far without my folks

Re: Tabaluga's

Wow thats amazing @StuF. You are so lucky which is really cool. Its really unrealistic to expect pensioners to foot medical bills. My last psychiarist was bulk billing me. I am so glad you have financial backing from your lovely parents! They sound like nice people that really support you all the way!

Re: Tabaluga's

They are indeed @SmilingGecko 

I'm very grateful.

 

Yeah, my psychiatrist bulk bills me now. Been seeing her for 40 odd years, but probably like the last decade she bulk bills me

Re: Tabaluga's

@StuF I'm glad your parents protect and look out for you. Its hard to endure financial hardship with medical bills especially if you are on a low income! The Ultrasound sounds good so you may still be allright and not requiring extra medical care. Hopefully you are in the clear. Nobody wants or needs compounding medical issues. You have enough on your plate allready

Re: Tabaluga's

@StuF would your parents adopt me please?

I’m quite likeable 😇🤓

Re: Tabaluga's

@SmilingGecko 

Not that it matters, but I just realised I'd added a decade to my time seeing the psych. Only 30 years!

Re: Tabaluga's

@SmilingGecko 

Yeah, hoping nothing much shows up on the pathology. Guess I'll find out soon enough 🙂

Re: Tabaluga's

@Glisten 

Sure!

(Well, maybe I should ask them first! lol)
