16.01.2022 UPDATE FROM DR ERN CHANG Wow. It's been a surprising 48 hours, to say the least. When I wrote the original post, I wasn't expecting it to be shared so widely. T...hank you to EACH of you who is taking this message seriously: we need to care for the vulnerable in our midst to give them a fighting chance in this pandemic - we are in this together. May I ask that everyone please remain civil and polite to one another? There is much fear and uncertainty right now, so people may be posting from a position not known to you. Let's take our battles offline - we have a community to be part of. ---- Original post follows: "It's just a cold/flu. I don't know why we are making such a big fuss about it!" Quite a number of people in our community have expressed the above sentiment. This has prompted me to write my response, below. Yes, COVID-19 generally IS a mild illness in 80% who catch it. So, if you permit me to use my group of friends as an analogy, if 10 of us caught it: 8 of us will feel pretty well after a few days - the COVID-19 infection is like the common cold for these 8. 1 of us will feel like we've been run over by a bus - laid up in bed (maybe in a hospital bed even) and sick like a dog for 2 weeks, then recover slowly to normal after a while. 1 of us will be severely unwell with pneumonia, requiring to stay in hospital and possibly needing ICU admission and help to breathe with a ventilator. There is a high probability this one friend will succumb, and die. It is that 1 person we want to protect, as a community, as a city, as a country. We know the COVID-19 virus is very contagious - we think up to 60% of the Australian population will catch it. We want Australians to slow the spread. To slow the person-to-person transmission, we need to have good personal hygiene, self-isolate when unwell, and practise social distancing. IF we don't slow the spread, MANY will fall sick at the same time, which would mean MANY simultaneously requiring hospital care. This will FLOOD and OVERWHELM our hospital system. We have a finite number of ICU beds and ventilators in Australia. IF the flood of severely ill COVID-19 patients comes all at once, ICUs CANNOT cope. Doctors will then need to make the difficult decision WHO will need the last ventilator in the hospital, when there are 5 patients needing it. MORE people than necessary will DIE. This is happening RIGHT NOW in Italy and Iran. So no, it isn't 'just' a cold/flu. Yes, most will be mildly and inconveniently unwell. We are not worried for these well patients. We are worried for the vulnerable - the colleague with the kidney transplant; the grandmother with diabetes; the child with cystic fibrosis. When we, the well, play our part in the community, we give our vulnerable family members, loved ones, friends and colleagues a fighting chance to survive this pandemic. Let’s look out for each other. TOGETHER we can beat this. Dr Ern Chang Family Doctors Highton 14 March 2020

05.01.2022 We wish to advise our patients that a patient who attended our clinic on Wednesday 29 July has returned a positive Covid-19 test result. We have been in direct and regular contact with the Metro South Public Health Unit who has assisted us in managing this in a manner that ensures the safety of all patients, staff and the community as this remains at the forefront of everything we do. An individual letter has been sent to each person who attended the clinic on the relevant da...te, however to ensure the timely sharing of information and community safety we thought it best to share these details more broadly. Any patients or visitors who have attended the clinic during the times specified in this letter, or otherwise, are asked to please familiarise yourselves with the common symptoms for Covid-19 and to contact us immediately via phone should you begin to experience any of the outlined symptoms. As recommended by Public Health all staff who were in direct contact with the patient in question have commenced a 14 day quarantine. We take the safety of our patients, staff and community seriously and will continue to keep you updated should the situation change.
