1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: This is the fits In in Whipper with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 2: Well, we always love getting this man on and if

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 2: you've got a question for doctor Rochie and get involved

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 2: in our thirteen twenty four ten. But he's also here

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 2: because this is really important. Actually, footy finals have kicked off,

6
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: AFL has already started, the NRL kicks off this weekend

7
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: as well, and drink Wise have got on board basically

8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 2: saying we need to be respectful and responsible ahead of

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: the upcoming finals series when it comes to drinking.

10
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 3: And this man is right behind that, Doctor Andy Rochford. Welcome, Hello, welcome.

11
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 4: What does that mean?

12
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 3: What does that mean?

13
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 4: How do you do the funty finals respectfully?

14
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I think when it comes to drink

15
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: Wise and the footy finals, I think what drink Wise

16
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: is doing here, they've got to behind both the AFL,

17
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: the AFL W, the NRL, the NRLW just trying to

18
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: get people to understand that yes, we can enjoy the

19
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: football without drinking too much. We have to think about

20
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: others around us, whether we're at the football stadium, whether

21
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: we're at home, and it's always respect and always drink

22
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: wise and I think that it's important for everybody to

23
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: not necessarily just focus on themselves having the best possible time.

24
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: We're not trying to kill the fun here, but we're

25
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: just trying to make sure we're looking out for each other.

26
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: Actually, do you know what, Roch, I didn't realize how

27
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 2: much influence your parents have on you growing up because

28
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: my mother and father were very social growing up, had

29
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 2: a lot of friends.

30
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 3: Sport was a huge part of that.

31
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: But every weekend, I remember mom and dad would go

32
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: to somebody's house after sport and they would.

33
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, they would drink.

34
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: So the drinking culture, I think, to be honest, it's

35
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 2: changed a little bit. But you are right when people

36
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: are so passionate about their football team and after a

37
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: few drinks, you get louder, you get angrier, and you've

38
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 2: got to realize that your kids are watching every one

39
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: of your moves, every one of your moves.

40
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 5: Absolutely, and we have seen it.

41
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: And the whole part of when I first started with

42
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: Drink Wise was all through that campaign about you know,

43
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: generational drinking and how we pass that on to our

44
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: kids and our behaviors. But yeah, your kids are starting

45
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: to set themselves up for you know, how are they

46
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: going to be you know, when it comes to the

47
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: future and they're out and about having a few drinks

48
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: by themselves.

49
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

50
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 4: And also I think that when you talk about sport,

51
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 4: we tend to think that watching sport goes hand in

52
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 4: hand with drinking. We are talking about drinking wise and

53
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 4: being respectful. There is also a big part of the

54
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 4: population who wants to be allowed to watch sport and

55
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 4: not have a drink at all.

56
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: We have changed a lot as a nation, and the

57
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: statistics are backing that up. We are very different now

58
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: when it comes to our drinking culture. I'm seeing now

59
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: with my son and that generation, they view alcohol very,

60
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: very differently. Absolutely, it's very different, and I think that

61
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: with sport we also need to start changing. You can

62
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: enjoy sport without drinking, and you can also enjoy, you know,

63
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: being out with family and with friends. But I think

64
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: if you are somebody that does find it hard, you know,

65
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: there are things you can do and you know one

66
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: eight hundred respect, the Men's Referral Service and thirteen yarn

67
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: there are things that you can do to help yourself

68
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: that then helps everyone around you.

69
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 4: What's the medical advice on the amount of alcohol these days?

70
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: Rock Yes, so that the guidelines that come out of

71
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: the NH and MRC are constantly being changed. So that's

72
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: the National Health and Medical Research Council. It's a lot

73
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: less than you think it is. It's about the standard

74
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: number of drinks per week and alcohol three days are

75
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: very important. And I think ultimately what people need to

76
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: understand is a standard drink is not usually a standard

77
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: drink all. And so you know, I think minimizing particularly

78
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: you know, around you know, obviously through pregnancy and through breastfeeding.

79
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: We know, and you know, we've just had the faz

80
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: D which is the fetal alcohol Syndrome day, which is

81
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: again another opportunity for us to talk to a community

82
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: of people that are struggling and through that. The recommendation

83
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: is zero alcohol at all. And so I think it's

84
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: really about everybody starting to recognize that alcohol is changing.

85
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: It's not about you know, killing the fun, but it's

86
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: also about recognized how does it fit in and how

87
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: do you go from just enjoying a few drinks And

88
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: the science behind it says it's not you know, that

89
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: excuse that red wine's good for you.

90
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 5: I mean science that's moved on from that.

91
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: Okay, it's not we we're past that.

92
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 3: You got to drop that.

93
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 5: Can, but so so bad luck. You cannot use that excuse.

94
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 5: We still okay with coffee, Yeah, yeah we can.

95
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: We're not change that responsible. Vaping over the fone, why

96
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 3: oh yeah, I do.

97
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 4: When I take my daughter to the footy. It's a

98
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 4: meat tin of vain.

99
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 3: You knew it was going to end. That's exactly what

100
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 3: it is. Roch' Every time we have you on the show,

101
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,679
Speaker 3: the lines go mad. People want to ask questions. Nat

102
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 3: is in Glenworth Valley. You have Dr Rochford here with you.

103
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 6: Matt, Good morning, doctor Rodred.

104
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: I just have a question around COVID and how dangerous

105
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: is it still at the moment? Boss wants me coming

106
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,799
Speaker 1: back into work. I really apprehensive, a little bit worried.

107
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 3: I've got elderly parents I've.

108
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 6: Got to take care of as well.

109
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 5: So where are we at with still at the moment,

110
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 5: and how.

111
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 3: Dangerous COVID is still COVID?

112
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is still dangerous, particularly for the elderly and

113
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: the vulnerable and the immino compromised, and so for the

114
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: rest of us. You know, I think we've obviously seen

115
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: a change in how it's impacting us and that's a

116
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: lot to do with people having caught the disease or

117
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: being immunized, and so now we do have some immunity

118
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: against it, but it's still very dangerous for a popular

119
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: percentage of the population. The recommendation is that if you

120
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: are positive and you still have COVID, you should be

121
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: isolating for up to five days, particularly if you have symptoms.

122
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: And that's not so much about yourself, it's more just

123
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: about reducing the spread and the impact on those that

124
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: can have a very poor outcome if they do get COVID.

125
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 6: Okay, thank you, thank you for the thanks.

126
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 2: We're going to go to is it Vanessa and Bacon Hill,

127
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 2: nixt you got doctor Andrew Rochford, he's all yours.

128
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 6: Great, Hello, Dosta. So my son has recently broken his

129
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 6: arm and I'm just worried now that it will always

130
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 6: be weak and he'll just keep breaking up more. You

131
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 6: know how boys are adventuress, so this is something I

132
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 6: should just be worried about.

133
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 5: No, bones are wonderful things. They do.

134
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: Heal and as long as he's looking after the break

135
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: now and that heals well the weakness, there should be

136
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: no ongoing weakness. So it takes about six weeks for

137
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: any fractured bone to get all the osteoclass and osteoplasts.

138
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 5: I'm just saying fancy words now, you guys, don't sound anyway.

139
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: These are growth plate stock.

140
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: We always hear about growth plates and kids, and if

141
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: they fracture or break something, everyone freaks out, Oh, their

142
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: arms not going to grow as long as the other one.

143
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 3: Is that true?

144
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: No, not necessarily, but we do take it a little

145
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: bit more seriously when there is a fracture that goes

146
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: through a growth plate. And again it's about making sure

147
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: you're getting the right treatment. And you know, keeping a

148
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: young boy from moving around too much and immobilizing that

149
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: is a challenge in and of itself. But as long

150
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: as they go through the treatment, they're getting all the

151
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: rehabilitation or the physiotherapy and everything that comes after it.

152
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: The likelihood is that in later life I'll have very

153
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: few challenges. Roch.

154
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 3: There's a couple of I don't know if they're urban myths, but.

155
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: You know, there's a couple of exercises people do to

156
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 2: find out how tall your child's going to be?

157
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 3: Yes, can you do that?

158
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: So the classics, the classic one, you measure your child

159
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: at the age of two, and then you double.

160
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,239
Speaker 3: It yes, and then you double it yes.

161
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: And so we did that for my son. Yeah, and

162
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: he he. We measured him because we wanted to see

163
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: His biggest goal was always to be taller than me.

164
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: And he is taller than me. So I can't remember

165
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: exactly what it is. So I'm six foot four and

166
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: he is, yes, four and a half six foot five.

167
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 5: That was the greatest day in his life when he went.

168
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 3: Past his old I reckon.

169
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 5: I still take him down in a one on one Roman.

170
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 4: Too many drinks.

171
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: As an ambassador for drink, That's exactly what I'll be doing.

172
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 3: Jenny is in Cornella. Hello Jenny, Hi guys, how are

173
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 3: you good?

174
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 5: Jen?

175
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: Doctr Rochford's here with your question.

176
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 6: Hi, doctor Rochford. I was just wondering about old medication

177
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 6: or like, I had a surgery about six months ago

178
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 6: and I've got the old pain relief in the but

179
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 6: still and I was just wondering if it's okay to

180
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 6: use it if I need it now rather than going

181
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 6: back to the doctors.

182
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 3: I know we're out of date meds.

183
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: Yes, So in general terms, if medication goes past it's

184
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: expiring pain relief or antibiotics. There's a reason why there's

185
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: an expiration's probably less likely to be potent, and so

186
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: you may you may have lost some of it. There

187
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: are some medications that can become a little bit dangerous,

188
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: and I guess it comes down to what you're using

189
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: them for.

190
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 5: I mean, Whipper calls me all the time.

191
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: About medication that he's had for surgeries in the past.

192
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 5: But I don't know, is it for pain that you're

193
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 5: using them for? With it's a.

194
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 3: Different sort of medication. It's called protia. And what about

195
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 3: the milk? If the milk goes off? How many days

196
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 3: do you give that?

197
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 5: In the you really want to make yourself sick.

198
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 2: I've still got pain relief tablets from a knee reconstruction

199
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: I reckon around about four or five years ago. I

200
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 2: honestly believe that I could still use him if I'm

201
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 2: in a fair bit of pain. But no, I can't.

202
00:08:58,640 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: I can't anymore.

203
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: Dog, I would say no, I would say, no, are

204
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: you are they really?

205
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 5: Are you struggling that much that you can't get new

206
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 5: new pain relief? No?

207
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: No, But do you know what you I mean, that's

208
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 2: the strongest pain relief that you can get when you

209
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: come out of a knee reco And I've never really

210
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: gone to the doctor saying I need strong pain relief,

211
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 2: but I've always had them there thinking if something does

212
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:22,479
Speaker 2: go wrong.

213
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 3: I can get quick pain reliefs straight away.

214
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 5: Do not reach for the out of date heavy duty

215
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 5: pain killing. If something goes wrong, pick your phone up

216
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 5: and call me. All right, no doc.

217
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,080
