I work at in a QLD hospital and every one of my patients is a person who is at high risk of worse outcomes with COVID. They're obese. They have poor diet. They have every risk factor imaginable. And you know what their endocrinologists, nephrologists, cardiologists, GPs, vascular surgeons, orthos, physios, podiatrists, diabetes educators and other doctors are ALL talking to these patients about damn near every single day? We're talking about weight loss, BGL optimisation, exercise, diet, vitamin supplements.

And we were talking about this every single day, before covid was even the twinkle in an oriental bat shit. So the government is fucking talking about it when it sends its thousands of healthcare workers out every day to try and stop people from slowly killing themselves. But the health literacy is so poor in this country for so many people, that they simply can't wrap their heads around the fact that their health behaviour and habits have such a significant impact on their outcomes. Such widespread lifestyle disease is a pretty new thing, so this way of looking at health just isn't baked into the way we teach kids about health in school. That needs to change or things will get a lot worse as these younger generations grow up.

You whinging buffoons are the reason I don't open Facebook or instagram and maybe reddit now too. Within 3 minutes, some ignorant twenty-something is whining how government-run healthcare and its workers are sellout to big Pharma and we're not educating out patients. Sincerely and kindly, please fuck off.
