25.01.2022 Healthy Bones Action Week (August 3-10). Read on for steps toward increasing your bone strength. If you have a medical condition or take medications that may decrease your bone strength, have had a recent fracture or are 70+ years of age, you may be eligible for a Medicare-rebatable bone density test.

20.01.2022 Heads up for Hay Fever! Seems Canberra's famous cotton trees may not be to blame for the run of hay fever we see this time of year.

15.01.2022 Migraines are common, and can be debilitating. Vitamin B2 has long been used as a mainstay of migraine prevention. It's effective, and generally without the side effects of many other drugs. With the right help, symptoms and quality of life can be much improved. Here's the latest... www.webmd.com//featu/prevention-future-of-migraine-therapy

13.01.2022 Great day in (less than completely) sunny Murrumbateman. Our pathology collector extraordinaire and receptionist, Trish Stoddard, had a cook up in our kitchenette and turned out nori rolls for lunch. Delicious! Recipe coming soon.

12.01.2022 Could this be the cutest practice dog dog in the world? We are inclined to think so.

12.01.2022 So we've been posting a little bit about chocolate lately. To maintain some balance, here is an article on 10 of the strangest fad diets we have yet to come across. None of these are a good idea! Sustainable weight loss comes about because of gradual change to caloric intake and exercise levels. And judicious amounts of chocolate... http://www.telegraph.co.uk//The-10-weirdest-fad-diets-in-h

12.01.2022 Staying rugged up? Think about adding in some chicken soup. Doctor's orders. http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=117888

10.01.2022 Not that we are up for a dismal end to the week, but recent medical research is beginning to brand sitting - yes, sitting - as the new smoking. Read on to learn how to work more standing into your everyday routine, as standing for 3 hours daily is the equivalent of 10 marathons per year! Walking around the #MurrumbatemanFieldDay could be a good start... time.com/sitting/

10.01.2022 Passionflower is presently making news as a possible alternative to conventional light sedative. Here, we link to the ABC, covering the evidence so far. Has anyone reading used this therapy? http://www.abc.net.au//libr/stories/2014/08/25/4031228.htm

10.01.2022 64% of Australian adults are overweight or obese, which is known to significantly affect health and life expectancy.

08.01.2022 One of Dr. Hannah's orchids in its new home at Murrumbateman Medical Practice.

07.01.2022 This may not be for the long term, but after extensive discussion, Huxley will be our profile picture for the moment. He's possibly our most popular staff member anyway. We thought a recipe might be fun today, and Apple-Basil Chicken Burgers look like just the (healthy and delicious) ticket. Enjoy. http://www.cavefoodkitchen.com//apple-basil-chicken-burger

07.01.2022 Nice little story !

07.01.2022 Medicine is a teaching profession. Some of our happiest moments in our practice come from watching our former students as they progress. We are delighted to share this post from Yass local Joanna Mary. Jo was one of our medical students throughout her studies, as were Bridget, Giles and Jarron. It was a delight to have them with us, and it makes us all so chuffed to watch them in full flight as a students, junior doctors and colleague. Shout out to all our students, both past and future. It's a rich career, both demanding and unique in its challenges. We support you all the way and couldn't be prouder of you. #doctorsday2017 #nowcomeworkforus #hinthint

04.01.2022 If your child has asthmatic symptoms that may require treatment at school or from caregivers such as a babysitter or their grandparents, it's essential to have a current Asthma Action Plan. This will explains clearly to others what medication is required, what doses, and when to escalate care or get help. It's also a great idea to keep a copy on the fridge or in the car! http://www.nationalasthma.org.au/asthma/asthma-action-plans
