What cheeses me off

Just this second hung up from the endodontist receptionist who tells me the cost of a consult is $495!!! I've been waiting since early December to get in to see this fella as I have a root canal issue with pain and ear-ache. If he finds anything then I have to come back another day for treatment!
Tuesday, MrsTMA pad $450 for consult then recommended 2 visits at $1400-$1700 EACH to do root canal.

Some medico's know how to charge. Back in 2019 I went to see an "allergist" to find out why I regularly have a blocked nose.

Several scratches on the arm on the arm by a junior nurse and $440 later resulted in " who knows" could be pollen or something.
 
Lazy medical centres that don't send your vaccinations through to MyGov.

Just popped into My Gov only to find last years FluVax which was administered at the medical centre at work was never updated to My Gov, so it inaccurately looks like havent had flushot since 2023.

Also all my travel vaccinations are missing, my understanding was that even if opted out of sharing medical history that vaccinations would be uploaded - certainly all my covid shots and flux vaxes from 2020-2023 are there.

Need to check what boosters I need before going to South Korea, pretty sure Im due for a rabies booster. The travel clinic closed during covid so its been an effort to find out where my medical records ended up. I have the yellow vaccination card with yellow fever and most other boosters on it, but hard to read or verify booster needs based on that.
 
So many things today

Qatar says if you buy wifi before you go it's cheaper - finally gave up even looking for it on the website.

Yeah, that's it, but now you have shocked me as no doubt this is what I will be looking at. :eek: Of-course being a dentist category there will be preachious little claimable.

A quick Google search found this. Is it cheaper? I can’t check without a booking.

It could be Starlink (as I think you know, VPS), so worth shelling out for. But check that its not free, with Starlink (enabling being rolled out)
