Yes it's crazy but money is power and our politicians and media are weaker than they have ever been, you know things are not good when your horses have access to far superior medical care than 90% of the population. I can only get referrals for cortisone injections which I stopped using on my horse's a decade ago, it's well known to give temporary pain relief but has few long-term benefits at all with a very high likelihood of making the injury worse when you overdo things in the few months that the pain is being masked.
The only thing rarer than common sense in this country is Australian doctors they'd have to rank first on critically endangered species list..No one can ever say we're not multicultural you just have to walk into any of our doctors offices to see that we're paying people from 18 different nations to write out scripts every 5 minutes for Panadiene Forte, Viagra or if you do actually look a bit crook and not just popping in again to say you need another week or two off work then you'll get sent home with a box of amoxycylin to ride it out with..
