eight years of pain!
(Preview)
No, this is not a mad rant. It's not a cry for help, and I'm not being melodramatic. I'm not into the Facebook, or Twitter thing. Just need to tell about it In hospital 10 of May, 2017.

Eight years of pain.
(Preview)

Clexane and the PBS
(Preview)
My father was given 120mg syringes of Clexane in hospital. The same dose is available at the pharmacy, but is not on the PBS. However, doses of 20mg and 100mg are covered by PBS.

Unwanted Christmas present
