The front page of the Financial Review today would have raised a few eyebrows today. Maybe it was someone departing the company who got this published.

Re the FT front page, I've also seen a shot of the heqding around the Joe Hockey article that was filler text. Can almost see it in the pic that Shintaro10x linked to.

Leaving the bar code off was probably the real stuff up, one that will get the attention of the accountants!

Update: The possibility has been raised that my issue has been caused by a spider bite.

Thanks. Spiders ( rightly or wrongly) get blamed for a lot of lower limb infections.

What happened is that well over a week ago, I woke up with what could have been a bite, a boil or a pimple on the lower leg.

I'd dressed the small pimple/boil & continued working. It gradually got bigger as I worked through Easter (Good Friday, Easter Saturday).

I spent Easter Sunday at the Fire Control Centre (not working on the trains Sunday/Monday/Tuesday) & kept daily dressing changes. But it was getting huge.

After the Easter break, I went to the doctor on Tuesday where it was lanced, drained (somewhat) & dressed.

With the exception of today (thanks to ANZAC Day), there's been a steady improvement, especially the area immediately around the wound. The antibiotics, elevation & keeping off the leg have helped.

New dressing & review tomorrow.

Staying in a B&B in the Barossa Valley. I've never seen so many instructions. The info about the instantaneous water heater is a page long.

Awesome photo. I'm not Australian or NZ but I admire that photo a lot. It says a lot, it tells a story.

All you have to do is read it.

Ibilex 500.

2 twice a day good for general infections

2 twice a day good for general infections

When I have been prescribed it in the past it has been 1 four times a day. Does it make any difference as the daily dosage is the same, just the frequency/concentration?

 

[Cynicor]

I give 1 tab 4x a day. Twice a day is an acceptable dosing regime. I can tell you that the best evidence for dosing is probably in the journal of anecdotal medicine.
