    My rule of thumb is that anticoagulants don't cause bleeding, they just amplify it. Can be useful in some cases e.g earlier diagnosis of bladder cancer. I'd still advocate investigating if you did come up positive on the screen

    Australian Citizenship interview

    I'm guessing the over 60 rule is to minimise the situation and potential disputes of those permanent residents who have gone on to develop memory troubles since their visa medical I personally view Australian citizenship as a very valuable thing. It can seem unfair that you are required to...

    QFF status credit on Finnair AY codeshare flights from CX

    That's my previous experience too but there wasn't. As you can imagine I had a lot of fristrating customer service interaction in the vain pursuit of points (not helped by the crediting program being IB) I had made the mistake of asking to change my FF number (from QR to IB) at checkin Realise...

    QFF status credit on Finnair AY codeshare flights from CX

    If your flight is on CX metal but booked as an AY ticket check your boarding pass is labelled correctly with the AY flight number. An inexperienced agent got this wrong for me last year resulting in 0 points for that leg

    Human nature to ascribe associations but my experience is that coughpy things happen to good (and bad) people pre- during and post- covid vaccines. i am not 100% across the RSV-research but like to think I have a healthy but fair scepticism of pharma ( also remembering we'd have almost zero...

    Woolworths gift card thread

    Buying WISH via points with the discount makes a lot of sense if you usually take the cash off shop. Also worth a thought if you value a QF point<1.1c

    Always difficult to make clinical judgements (or criticise colleagues) without full history and examination but carotid narrowing doesn't cause vertigo.
