In any other normal jurisdiction in the Anglophone world, loopy regime quack Dr Roderick McRae would be struck off for such grossly unethical rage. But Victoria is another country; they do things differently there. McRae isn’t just angry with people who haven’t received a ‘vaccine.’ He’s lashing out at everyone who believes they can live a life not managed by him.
McRae urged Victorians eager to make the most of restrictions easing by visiting places they had missed, including bars and restaurants, to wear a mask and be cautious.
“We strongly advise people not to undertake any activity that may lead to inebriation and the requirements for medical care,” he said.
“Now is not the time you want to fall over or get injured, because the hospitals are full. Don’t get too excited about the horse winning the Melbourne Cup if you’re on the brink of having a cardiac issue. Because if you call an ambulance in coming weeks, you may have to wait.”
Dr Stephen Parnis has tonight condemned McRae: “Unacceptable comments from the incumbent in an organisation I used to lead. We treat people on the basis of medical need. Not ideology, not education, not personality.” So has Dr Nick Coatsworth – amongst other medicos.
It is time to shut the entire Australian medical-industrial complex down and watch them beg on street corners.
FK this!
It would be cheaper and easier to fly people to SE Asian Hospitals, which seems to be where we are getting replacement nursing staff from.

Dr Parnis was an istandwithdan favourite on twitter until he said something about the anti Catholic bigotry directed towards Dom Perrottet, enough abuse for him to take a short sabbatical from Twitter.
It does seem that more than thirty medical professionals do think covid is a potentially very serious illness though and are concerned that too many unvaccinated patients will overwhelm a not fantastic at the best of times hospital system where patients are already having non urgent surgeries delayed.
Of course the other side of the coin is anti vaxxers waving off the ‘comorbs’ dying of covid as past their use by date.
Perhaps they should think of younger people they might know currently undergoing cancer treatment that sans covid have reasonable prospects of recovery and long life.
Don’t agree with the deny them sentiments at all though I didn’t once question the sincerity of the anti vaxx its just a cold crowd by asking if they would forgo hospital treatment should they be proven wrong.
Lots of how dare you deliberate twisting of my question into a demand they be denied.
Once again it’s a question, which is more risky, the vaxx or the coof?
Is there a bigger pack of $h!t$ (outside Spring Street) than the AMA? At least I’ll have the pleasure of watching these attention whores squirm and writhe as their moment in the spotlight ends.
Might be time to bring out a new edition of Keith Dunstan’s book Wowsers. With a foreword by Sir Les Patterson.
The public health system where cheap, effective treatments are ignored and denied in favour of expensive and harmful theatrical non-treatments (like ventilators) or even no treatment at all?
Deal! No doubt you’ll also support me reclaiming my rather hefty tax “contributions” so that I might seek out actual treatment from real physicians using my own resources.
Th coof is more risky than the vaxx.
Once Hot Button Sutton is thrown under the bus for SlugGate, McRae will be hot favourite as the new CHO of Vicco fascism.
I assume the doctor has forgotten about the Hippocratic oath.
Now just optional in these times.
I think the doctor took the Hypocritical Oath not the Hippocratic Oath
Well my mum in Auckland has just told me that they won’t be out of lockdown until they hit 90% double vaxxed.
Arden channeling her inner Dan.

Nice one a reader !
His comment indicates what persistent demonization of the unvaxxed by the media and political class achieves.
Some of these doctors and their “ethics” would have been quite at home in Nazi Germany.
I’m fine with it. Just don’t expect me to roll up to a doctor if I catch covis (I’ll go shopping instead) or give my fucking organs away for free.
