18.01.2022 GLENORIE DISTRICT MEDICAL CENTRE Caring for the Community since 1984

18.01.2022 In 1984 the original Glenorie Medical Centre was opened by Dr Molly Hyslop and Dr Pip Gibian at 6 Post Office Road, Glenorie. For the two of us this was a big challenge. We both had families, with our youngest both 6 years old. After failing to find suitable rental premises in the area, we bought this house. Money was tight. We repainted it ourselves and renewed the garden. We retained the previous owner’s carpet and curtains for quite some years. The office furniture was mos...tly second-hand, as was some of the medical equipment. At that time Glenorie was very rural, surrounded by working farms. Everyone knew each other. Many farms were owned by Italian migrants from the 1960’s. They grew vegetables and fruit, but above all flowers. Their chrysanthemums and roses were legendary. The two quarter-acre residential areas were largely populated by young married couples. Housing in Glenorie was a little cheaper than other local suburban areas, allowing them to invest in their own homes. We had investigated the area and thought there was some need for more medical services in Glenorie. This was an underestimation. The practice grew rapidly, along with the local birth rate. In those days it seemed a very long way to the nearest hospital, and dedicated after hours medical services did not exist. We shared night and weekend call with Galston Medical Centre, with the doctor-on-call looking after both practices. The home visit area ranged from Dural and Galston to Maroota. We ran Saturday and Sunday morning surgeries. Farm accidents and emergency medicine were not rare. Fortunately we were able to employ some part-time assistants. Over the years we acquired great receptionists, some really good nurses, and above all many wonderful patients. The practice continued to grow. It started as a little ladies practice as it was dubbed by one observer, and became a thriving family practice known for high quality, caring medical care. In 2007 we sold the practice to Dr. Clare Donnelly, who had worked with us for quite some years. She changed the business name to Glenorie District Medical Centre, and built a great, purpose-built surgery at 920B Old Northern Road. We both continued to work at the practice for many more years. Glenorie has changed a great deal since 1984, and the practice has modernised in tune with the times. The business is now owned by Drs Belinda and Sheila Lorenzo. Now the practice is much larger, has more doctors, more nurses, pathology services and other medical services, but continues to be a real family general practice, as it always was. The Glenorie Medical Centre of old lives on in good hands. Pip Gibian and Molly Hyslop

18.01.2022 Happy Friday ... Thank you card from happy children and parents after gentle immunisation by Alison and Dr Sheila.. Thanks so much for the cup cakes.... Soooo appreciated

17.01.2022 WHEN A FLOOD HAPPENS IN THE COMMUNITY, By Clinical Psychologist Debbie Henderson, Glenorie District Medical Centre When a flood happens in a community it can be very upsetting for people, but there is a lot family, friends, volunteers and the community can do to help those that are impacted. Helpful thinking: Your thinking may have shifted to be more negative, for example, Bad things always happen to people around me. Our thoughts have a direct impact on how we feel.... If you notice that your thinking has shifted to see the world as more unpredictable and dangerous, you are more likely to be feeling sad, helpless or scared. It helps to change our way of thinking to more helpful thought patterns. Firstly, we need to be aware of our thinking and catch our negative thoughts. The second step is to come up with a more helpful and positive thought, that puts us more in control. For example, This is hard and it takes a lot of work, but I’ll just keep doing little things each day that make it better. Maintain social connections: We know that people need people. After a disaster, being with people can give us a sense of belonging, of feeling loved and cared for and that we’re not alone. Reconnecting with others is important for our wellbeing but also for theirs. Helping out a community member who has suffered in the flood or just lending an ear - can give us a sense of purpose and increase our own motivation and energy. Making time for pleasurable activities: Doing what you enjoy is good for you. After a disaster, many people feel like they have lost control of their life. Finding a new balance between work, getting life back on track and looking forward to doing something pleasurable gives us hope. So, plan something you like to do watch a DVD, go for a bushwalk, go out for a night with friends, watch a game of football, or go to bed early with a good book. Be kind to yourself: Give yourself time to adjust it can take time to bounce back. Keep reminding yourself that things will get better and you have the skills to manage. Ask for help if you need it. Try to avoid self-medicating (using alcohol or other drugs to cope) and instead express your feelings through journaling, art, or talking to friends. Things should slowly go back to normal and you should feel better over time. If that doesn’t happen and you are still struggling after 2-3 months, talk to your GP.
