By Sarah Russell, published 30/5/2016Currently, funding for aged care homes is based on a 'terminal decline model' rather than 'restorative care'. The provider receives additional subsidies when a resident declines.

Simply assuming I'm against conventional medicine is a mistake given I studied it an even managed to pass some final exams with an average passing mark of 98%, which broke an unassailable 70 year record in the AH ME institution that trained me and the young doctors I trained beside.
Now I should think that would at least indicate I'm nobody's fool, moreover I don't suffer fools lightly, particularly those who bring their superiority complex and intellectual arrogance with them as their invariably elitist debating style.
When I enter a medical establishment I check in the hat and coat, rather than my brain and critical independent thinking!
As someone who started their medical career in a geriatric home for the blind, I have some insight into the problem; and am simply not arrogant enough to dismiss over six million case studies out of hand as you and every other big pharma devotee does!
No anecdotal evidence, however convincing, is not proof, even so it's the basis of eastern medicine, already over a thousand years old, when western medicine began, in french epocrates, less than four hundred years ago?
And used herbal medicine as its principle method, with aspirin in vogue in aged care to reduce heart attacks and strokes coming from much older willow bark, nurofen the other perennial favorite in pain management coming from the monkey puzzle vine.
Why even penicillin had a start as mould and used by the american indians in a variety of moss they used to treat wounds in traditional medicine. There's a toxic plant in New Zealand called the tutu, and used by native women to procure an abortion. I could go on but there's hardly any point debating the closed mind that is a big pharma devotee.
You have a nice day now y'hear.
