    Have also signed, hang in there mate, I've been nursing a chronically ill wife for near on 30 years so I understand. In many ways it's harder on you because all you can do is look on and watch whilst the love of your life is losing hers, and I don't necessarily mean that an illness has to be terminal for a life to be lost. Just not being able to participate is, in many ways, worse, 'cause those who don't know her, think that she is being uncaring or antisocial.

    Signed and the following comment added where it said why is this important to you.

    All Australians are entitled to proper health care, particularly when the condition is life threatening. We should have an independent body of medical professionals to govern the health system and take the politicians right out of it.

    You guys are awesome.
    In the meantime she is still being stuffed around with the PAH.

    After a lengthy conversation with the head of the hospital yesterday we got an appointment for the 28th to finally speak to a doctor nothing more, received a letter stated her next appointment was the 11th November, completely different to yesterday when I was told the 28th October.
    Rang back and was told "oh it looks like someone change the appointment date, I'll look into it and ring you back"

    He did rang back and said "I don't know whats happened there, but its back to the 28th, and we will send you out another letter"

    On top if a cancelled test while lay in theater and them not even bothering to reschedule because "there's no real rush" clearly someone there is stuffing her around.

    So until St George hospital lets Dr Morris take my wife on we have to deal with the PAH's stuffing around.

    Keep at them mate, write down and document every single thing they say and do, times, names, the lot.

    Its also good to advise them you are doing just that, as none of them will want to be held responsible for mistakes.

    Is it worth giving ACA a call? You might get some action happening then.
