One thing I wish our public health system did better is timely follow up care after an acute inpatient episode. I’ve booked myself to see a Medicare subsidised private healthcare provider next week because the only alternative is asking Gemini “is this OK?”

This is why I spent four years getting more community health services open than new inpatient wards. They don’t get the headlines and there’s rarely a ribbon cutting photo opp, but more people get to see a public health service and avoid hospital readmission.
