Liveline: Thread with no name, Host with no shame

The autistic son needs a general as he would act out wildly if anything were done with local.

John Joe’s case is strange to me, but I 100% believe the guy is in a lot of pain, pain he should not have to endure imo. I’ve seen this, been through this kind of thing too often to know stuff happens that should not happen.

Oral antibiotics are not enough alone indoor a bone infection, it’s an orthopaedic specialist hat’s needed if it’s even suspected. JJ & mother arrived to Merlin Park expecting he’s have a bone biopsy, but it was only a consultation to evaluate and schedule for bone biopsy.

She spoke of osteomyelitis, I presume somebody gave her a working diagnosis of this by way of clinical inspection and imaging.

I didn’t pay much attention to the case of the autistic boy, because I was focussed elsewhere, so don’t know the ins and outs except he is in some kind of parallel situation, but “only” had an in growing toenail. JJ has a more advanced infection.

with Liveline you don’t always get enough info to really put the pieces together.

The tax rebate complainers had already authorised the agent(s) involved, but there should be a code of practice or regulation where they have to seek renewal of consent. Again for all we know they might have done this by way of an email where these customers clicked a link and ticked a box to renew consent. So many many come our way daily; sincere just click Yes Yes Yes to everything without putting any thought into it, so hard to tell what they did or didn’t do in these cases. It was probably in the Ts&Cs that consent was ongoing until withdrawn.

Ingrown toenail complications, can indeed cause osteomyelitis, which simply will not respond well to antibiotics alone because of poor blood supply.

I took it that JJ and the autistic boy are one and the same. He sounded fine talking on the radio, I know autistic children who are much worse. You would not get needle into them without at least 3 people to hold them down and another to give the injection. I would not want my toe cut open under local anaesthetic, i don't see the fuss over giving him a general anaesthetic. I got my wisdom teeth out under local and thought I was going to die on the chair.

No, they were different people.

There was John Joes mother and John Joe and then another mother came on talking about her autistic son. I kind of tuned out around that point.

I have two big toes with ingrowing toenails and have had them for forty years.

Every six months or so I have to get vicious with the sidecutters and dig in to remove the bits that are giving me gyp. Then they're fine for another while.

I had trouble with my other one for years but two sessions with this girl who came to the house and its fine now. No problems in a few years now. If you are in the west I can give you her number?

You never said what you were going with an anti-aircraft gun? Man handling it over an obstacle course against the clock or robbing banks, so to speak?

PM me for info, I’ve lots 😉

I’ve been in the aul gaff quite a few times in the past, lol, never known you not to ask for other services so to speak 😉😉😉 I was one of those multi time invited visitors, so to speak, but let’s pretend to not to know anything about anyone like a letter asking very politely and tentatively about lost shooter like below:, last seen Loughrea and left behind during an urgency so to speak.

Info on anti-aircraft guns? I have an auld anti-aircraft round here, I inherited from my grandfather. De bang has been removed from it. My research into it's maker points to it being an obscure ordnance of a type Gubbermemt bought after de Emergency. Obscure = One Maker = Expensive = Obsolete. Nothing changes.

I got a text today from an post about an item I am expecting in the post.

Hours later I got what I think is a scam text claiming to be from an post that I need to pay custom charge.

I don't often order stuff online that come by an post so it's a bit of a coincidence that I get the text the same day. Won't be paying it so will find out tomorrow if it turns up.

That poor young lad with his toe seems to have been let down by everybody around him.

Who leaves a young person with a simple problem in pain for 3 years. Crazy altogether and could even kill him or a least effect the rest of his life.

I’d be expecting a consignment of footwear from a certain Boardsie after requesting by very polite postal letter. But no redemption yet. I den artha thing that could have happened, or anything about a bit of a streak of the green creature or anything like that.

for just a moment thought I was talking about Tubs, get confused sometimes.

Ah de aul wisdom teeth. First oral surgery was an oro-antral fistula where upper front tooth was removed and tissue from gum stitched over connection with maxillary sinus. Was put out for dat. But I is ted wisdom teeth, only men get sedation, wimmens are expected to put up with having it done under local. Nordie surgeon called McCourt, a name dat draws shivers. Probably debated to Malachy a dat of de miserable rain in Limerick.

After procedure in Dalkey, to which I drove myself and mother in my then big old Skoda estate. She had ideas of a lot of shopping after. Zeeeerrro sympathy, blood pouring from my mouth “what of it?” “What do you think of this chicken?”

I feel terribly for him, I really get worked up in myself over unnecessary suffering which happens waaaay too often.

It doesn’t just happen to “ordinary” people either, I know the late Taoiseach Garret Fitzgerald’s daughter, she once most kindly collected from a colonoscopy. He never complained through his bad health. Had heart and lung issues, but kept up the good fight. In his final weeks, daughter Mary was minding him, they lived in connected adjacent house.

Mary saw him go rapidly downhill and drive him to SVUH A&E. Mary would never ever be the type to say “this is my father ex Taoiseach” just “my Dad here is very sick and I’m dead worried about him”. A relatively junior doctor saw him, he was packed off home with a prescription to give to the chemist in Ranelagh next morning for antibiotics.

Mary’s Dad got worse and worse through the day, she phoned the private consultant he had attended previously re heart in Mater Private. Took a few connections to get his number and through to him personally. Mary had an extremely sick father at home gasping for breath, the man could hardly swallow the chemist’s antibiotics. The Mater private consultant was off duty so a bit hard to track down , but he went into action as many do in such circumstances, to get at least palliative bed, because it was likely he could not clear this pneumonia. He died peacefully, but not before family were in anguish about how they would get help for him, considering public hospital threw him away, quite literally.

Theres a myth about VIPs getting priority care, they get shifted to private care, and if your own private consultant happens to be in Bahamas at the time we’ll fook you. I’ve witnessed this kind of thing.

I’ve said it so many times, still trying to figure out exactly how it happened that I got such a late diagnosis in spite of previous decades of neuro stuff on and off l, think it’s really important to find out for people in the future. Part of it is my own fault, but not all. I was with my very lovely GP today and showed him screenshots of my latest scan. He just shook his head and said “sorry to see that”.

the name of the disease Multiple Sclerosis comes from the sclerotic white lesions seen here which are multiple.

I really don't get why out government can pay so much money to facilitate foreign people that come to this country and couldn't spend even a fraction of to support our own Irish people before this war. Are they getting it from EU or the magic money tree.

€800k on pets.? I won't go on but IMO there is no one to vote for to get up out of this.

As someone said change the young lads name to Ukrainian to be seen.

Realistically Boardsies, anywan with experience of CAD in its best manifestations l. I know naaathing, but there’s space aplenty to learn. I think 3D naturalistically, love engineering processes an dar.

Way back in 80s met an English guy and his mother, we loved aul engineering type chat, really got being buddies in NYC. Loads of impressive cars to drool at! He was what we would term autistic now, his lovely Mum from Portsmouth had been an aircraft maintenance engineer in WW2, and she taught him to be a car mechanic as she was qualified as an instructor.

This guy took a big shine to me, early technology days but he was into being first with everything and start with all of that. The mum was absolutely lovely. I was invited to Portsmouth and spent a weekend there, no romantic feelings in my part whatsoever, but was fascinated when we visited an she raft museum and the Mum explained the workings of the Merlin engine to me.

We remained friends among time, but the mum died. She had left him as financially solid as she could, sadly he could not manage money, and ending up disappearing, find he a hast message he was disappearing into the ether.

There was genuine deep compassion overall at first, I think most of us have experienced it with this and other horrendous war type situations.but it’s a fact of life that people’s compassion wears out, in fact it serves as a good thing in away as people are then beyond the shock stage and can usefully coordinate assistance.

The human mind adapts to the craziest of situations, it accepts the unacceptable in certain circumstances. It’s a fascinating area of study.

I don't think the influx of people have effected you personally that much but for others it means they are moved down the waiting list even with GP visits. Then moved more down on getting the right result to their problems further on.

You are the exception in that you have VHI and are other back ups to pay for what you need. Most people don't.

As regards medical care, I’ve had an awful lot to make various comparisons. Firstly a nurse or doctor reflects their own individual nature. But I can say at this lint after many decades of care that I’m racist, I have found Pakistani male doctors to be the most empathetic by quite a long shot.

I think they probably have seen in me at times a daughter, a sister, a mother etc. they are not afraid to show full empathy, they aren’t starched up. That is my repeated experience such consultants.

😮 where are these furrin pets going, given how difficult it is to find a rental accepting pets? €800k is la-la land
