20.01.2022 IT ONLY TAKES ONE In South Australia we had no community cases for 200 odd days.. and then it appears. We knew there were cases in the quarantine hotels but they were just that - in quarantine! And then an elderly lady turns up at a hospital with respiratory system and is proven COVID positive. How did it get out!! It doesn't matter really. It's a slippery little sucker. Like a snake, it slithers out. Hides on a hand or infects the person, waiting to be passed on unsuspecti...Continue reading

18.01.2022 BACK TO GROUND ZERO - STAY ALERT STAY AWARE Hi all.. Okay so we're back to being vigilant again.. only one case overnight from the same family but it looks like they were all infected around the same time and if they've passed it on then new cases may not present until a few days later..... In the meantime when you ring for a consult we will ask you a few questions.. Do you have a temperature, sore throat, viral symptoms? If so we’ll phone consult you and arrange for you to be seen at the Covid Clinic. The Nurses there will check your temperature, pulse and oxygen levels as well as doing the swab. If they think you need to be seen by a doctor they will call us up to see you in one of the safe rooms in the Hospital Emergency Department. You will need to isolate yourself while you have symptoms and until the swab result returns. Once you have a clear swab we can review you in the Viral room at the Practice. Have you been in Adelaide in the last 7 days? If so we’ll ask you to wear a mask and be seen in the viral room. I know this sounds a bit over the top but this virus gets a 3-5 day head start before the infections become apparent.. and last thing we all want - including our patients - is for the practice to be shut down for because all our staff have been exposed. This is Adelaide we're talking about so could easily come our way.. Even I've been in Adelaide within the timeframe - but I've checked all the contact tracing locations and haven't been to any Thanks for helping keep everyone safe. It's a community effort. Dr Kris and Sal xx

16.01.2022 DONT BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU.. Well.. yesterday's post got thrown out the window and I've had to go back to the grindstone and write something else for our last day in lockdown! My planned post was entitled wasn't that a waste of time. What I really meant was I hope we got to Tuesday with minimal more cases and many would think it was a waste of time - when in fact that would have been the best outcome ever. ...Continue reading

15.01.2022 A TALE OF TWO CITIES.. Well it's not two cities actually, but two women in the same city. I apologise in advance, some details have been dramatised a little to keep the story interesting - and to get the point across! Two women return from Victoria on the same flight. Victoria at this time is at its peak 5-600 cases a day and 6-7000 active cases. These women are required to isolate for 14 days. Both are unknowingly infected with the virus. ...Continue reading

15.01.2022 DR KRIS LETS GO DANCING Hiya.. it's a bit few and far between with posts these days. Sal has stolen the Facebook page to advertise the 2 years of having lasers with our special that ended Friday so I have had to jump in where I can. ...Continue reading

15.01.2022 THE 8TH DAY OF THE WEEK This week I was given a gift. A very precious gift. I was given time! 7 hours to be precise. And it was perhaps one of the nicest 7 hours I have had. Let me tell you the story. I had been in Adelaide for a weekend workshop. It finished late Sunday afternoon so rather than rushing to the airport after, I planned to come home Monday morning. Had asked Sal to book the flights. Arrived at the airport Monday morning 8am. Looked for my flight itinerary in...Continue reading

13.01.2022 Dr Kris SOMETIMES THE BEST PICTURES MAKE THE HARDEST JIGSAWS.. I'm back to revisit the Jigsaw analogy of life. After my first Facebook post I went off and got me a jigsaw. Couldn't find a lighthouse at the time so got a farm scene. Had a wonderful couple of weeks putting together that Jigsaw piece by piece, session by session. So proud of my persistence and tenacity that I can't bring myself to break it up. It sits on a board on the spare bed waiting for me to de...Continue reading

06.01.2022 Dr Kris WHEN DID THE WORLD TURN UPSIDE DOWN? You might think I'm going to talk about Covid again.. but I'm not. Although it certainly has turned the world upside down. Dropping Sally and Ivy off at Adelaide airport Sunday morning, the place is desolate - and we finally start to see the Covid impacts up close where previously we have only seen and heard from a distance. ...Continue reading

06.01.2022 Dr Kris TOUR DU LA VIE It's been an incredibly busy couple of weeks - even for me. We have just delivered 14 babies in 14 days, not to mention the usual clinic stuff with some additional emergencies and heartaches thrown into the mix. I crashed out at 8pm last night but then, of course, found myself awake again at 11pm bright eyed and bushy tailed - that's what happens when your body clock has no idea what schedule you're running by. ...Continue reading

All of the products you'll fi...Continue reading

03.01.2022 IT IS WHAT IT IS Chatting by message with my sister in law last night. If you haven't caught up yet, I'm supposed to be in Adelaide for my Nephew’s wedding this Friday. Cancelled not 48 hours short of the service. And this is the same family that were due to depart on a bucket list holiday 7 days after ScoMo closed international borders back in March. If any family had adequate reasons to rant and rave and get angry it's these guys. Their approach - It is what it is. It i...Continue reading
