Urinary tract infections are one of the top twenty reasons patients present, for primary care. According to Kidney Health Australia, 1 in 2 women and 1 in 20 men will develop a urinary tract infection in their lifetime.

A patient approaching a doctor expects medical treatment with all the knowledge and skill that the doctor possesses, to bring relief to his or her medical problem. The relationship takes the shape of a contract. Equally, a doctor owes certain duties to his patient and a breach of any of these duties gives a cause of action for negligence against the doctor. As doctors, we have a duty to obtain prior informed consent from the patient, before carrying out diagnostic tests and therapeutic management

2023/01/17

The term Multiple Myeloma was introduced in 1873 by von Rustizky when at autopsy he found 8 separate tumours of the bone marrow in a patient, described as soft in consistency and reddish in colour and thence called “Multiple Myeloma”. Today over 2400 Australians are diagnosed annually with Multiple Myeloma. It is slightly more common in men, with an average age of onset at 70 years. Myeloma accounts for 10% of all haematologic malignancies and about 2% of all cancers diagnosed. The five-year

Functional hands and fingers are taken for granted until they are damaged by disease or injury. The hand is an incredibly complex structure tasked with fine motor skills as well as the power of grip. Its incredible sensory connections communicate to us the beauty of touch, and the importance of temperature and texture and serve as a vital link in our relationship with the world. The hand is stabilised by a complex set of carpal bones comprising the wrist and invested with amazing articulations,

The provision of healthcare to our indigenous population provides both a privilege and a challenge for administrators, doctors, nurses and allied healthcare workers. For most of us living far away in metropolitan centres, comfortably ignorant and sheltered from these very real challenges we can only begin to imagine the cultural sensitivities, demands and clinical problems at hand. The central Australian aboriginal Congress (CAAC) was established in 1973 to find health care solutions and to provide

About 7 million Australians, around 28% of our population, live in rural and remote areas encompassing many diverse locations and communities that in some instances have poor access to the medical services we may take for granted in metropolitan centres.
