Speaker 2: The Will and Woody podcast that fighte sized.

3
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 3: Love to hear from you right now and Will and Woody,

4
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 3: have you had an expensive misdiagnosis? Obviously you thought something

5
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 3: was very wrong with you. It turns out it wasn't

6
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 3: at all.

7
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 2: Woods, emergency is a dark, dark place. It's a duck,

8
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 2: it's a dark place. Well, every time I go there,

9
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 2: there's nothing wrong with me.

10
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 3: Well, in a lot of ways, emergency is a beautiful

11
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 3: place for you because you find out that turns out

12
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 3: there was no reason for you to be there in

13
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 3: the first instance.

14
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 4: No, I think I prefer something being wrong with me

15
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 4: because it's bloody embarrassing.

16
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 3: But that's the tight ass in you coming out because

17
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 3: to fork out a bit, particularly when you go to

18
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 3: the Epworth anyway, why would you go to a private

19
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 3: hospital with a back pimple Anyway.

20
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 5: We'll talk about that.

21
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that a little bit later on. We'll

22
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: talk about that a little bit later on, because I'd

23
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 3: love to see if somebody else can beat you in

24
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 3: terms of expensive misdiagnoses. You are the absolute king at

25
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 3: it now. The reason we're talking about this is because

26
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 3: there's a story today about the fact that between October

27
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 3: and December last year, emergency services received forty five thousand

28
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 3: calls that did not require emergency action.

29
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: Oh you're kidding?

30
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 3: Can I give you like they've listed They listed some

31
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 3: of the big ones.

32
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, here just some of them.

33
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 3: Someone had a nightmare and couldn't get back to sleep.

34
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: No, they call the ambulance. After that, they called the TRIPLEO.

35
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 3: Someone tried to someone couldn't find a rapid antigen test

36
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: in their house.

37
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: Oh, good golly, miss Molly.

38
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 3: One frightened caller rang while hiding under a tree from

39
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 3: a swooping magpie.

40
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: That can be quite scary. Actually, I've been swoopted by

41
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: a magpie. That's terrifying.

42
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 3: I just looked about the operator on here, like, who

43
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: are you? What are they calling there? Like I'd go fire,

44
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: I'd go fire there. You'd get the hose out, the

45
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 3: fire brigade for the for the magpie.

46
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: Park ranger. Who are you called the ranger?

47
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 3: That's not an option.

48
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: You've never called Triple O before.

49
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: It's not fire, ambulance or park ranger.

50
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 4: You don't get the park ranger there, give me the

51
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 4: extension for the park ranger.

52
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 3: Like the physiophies around.

53
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 2: There's three. I've never got the Ambulance police. Which service

54
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: do you require?

55
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 3: Is what they ask?

56
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 4: Okay, and you hit a button there, No, you tell

57
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 4: the operator right, yeah, I've never done it.

58
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 3: You've never called triple oh never? Wow, that's well, good

59
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 3: on you. You can also you can also call one

60
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 3: one too as well, anywhere in Australia as well. Okay,

61
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 3: and you can call one one two in any country

62
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: in the world. Actually it's the international emergency number. Another

63
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 3: another person called Triple O in Australia because they were

64
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 3: trying to listen to music to calm them down during

65
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: alcohol withdrawal and they couldn't work their Spotify playlist. No.

66
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 3: I mean it's sad because they're blocking. They're blocking the

67
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 3: call lines.

68
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: Fine, do you get fine?

69
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 3: I think so. I think if you think if you're

70
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 3: wasting their time, you do. But I don't think they

71
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 3: want to discourage people from calling Triple O either.

72
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: If you're in an emergency, call Triple zero.

73
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 4: But you do want to say, I never called Triple

74
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 4: zero in my emergency, So now I don't want to

75
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 4: block the line.

76
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll just takegen Giuch straight into the ar go

77
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 2: straight there. Yeah, and we'll talk about that very shortly.

78
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 3: Another patient here. Actually it was a horrified mother who

79
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 3: thought that their child had developed cyanosis, which is skin discoloration,

80
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 3: only to find out the child had been eating blueberries. Anyway,

81
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 3: we're taking call's expensive misdiagnoses. Katrina, this cost you eight

82
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: hundred bucks.

83
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 4: Wow.

84
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. I woke up and I had something wrong with

85
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: my eye. So I went to the doctor and it

86
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: was the most painful thing I've ever had, and he

87
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: said I had herpes in my eye.

88
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 5: Oh so I had to hold.

89
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: My and like, well, that's just it. I'm a school teacher,

90
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: so I had to go and tell the principle why

91
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: I had.

92
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: Been giving someone an eye job on the weekend.

93
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 5: Well, I couldn't get into the specialists for three months.

94
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: So for three months, everyone's walking around asking me who

95
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: dick was in my eye?

96
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: Katrina, that's fine a line. There's a warning there. There's

97
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: a warning there. I don't want to know why or

98
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: how you were cock eyed. That's another.

99
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: So when I went to the specialist, it was actually

100
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: a caterpillar barb in my eye. But that was total

101
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: months later, and I'm sort of you can't really go

102
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: in and say you're knocking the door and go up

103
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: by the way, I don't have herpies.

104
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 2: Yeah you just let dogs. Yeah, whiz, very good stuff.

105
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 3: Eight hundred bucks for a penis in your eye?

106
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 2: Can you get herpies in your eye? Can you? I

107
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: don't know.

108
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 3: I don't know. I imagine so if a doctor said

109
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: you could, then I imagine you probably could. I just

110
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 3: don't think many people were using their eyes as a,

111
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: you know, sexual tool of choice.

112
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,840
