Dr Katherine Miller MBBS
(Hons) FRACP
[On Victoria not achieving
its elective surgery waiting
list targets for five years]:
Watching my patients move
into residential aged care
because they can no longer
walk, due to long waiting list
times has to be one of the
most heartbreaking parts
of my job. Thank you
for advocating.
Emily Amos
[On the results of a survey
by hundreds of doctors
by Australian Salaried
Medical Officers’ Federation
(ASMOF) Victoria]:
“You cannot change
what you do not see”.
Michael Myers
[On Crazy Socks 4 Docs
Day]: A very special day
of the year felt all over
the world. We honour all
healthcare professionals
for their commitment and
service. And we remember
those lost and their families.
Special thanks to Dr Geoff
Toogood for his candour,
focus, inspiration
and leadership.
David Tse
[On the results of a survey
by hundreds of doctors
by Australian Salaried
Medical Officers’ Federation
(ASMOF) Victoria]: If a
hospital setup a system to
make it difficult to claim
hours worked, it’s wage
theft. I have never known a
politician or a hospital CEO
to go without, and you’re
far more important.
Contact the AMA if you
feel you’re not getting
paid properly.
As confronting as these
figures are I am hopeful for
the change that can come
from knowing them.
