Join me in part 2 of the series ‘A Day in the Life of a General Practitioner in Surfers Paradise’. In this episode I talk through how to manage time and staff efficiently as well as eliciting the all important information from my patients. Very often patients present with a hidden agenda, which if probed sensitively and carefully can illicit a deeper problem. A typical example that I find is those who present for a repeat prescription but may often be suffering from depression and find it hard to talk about. This is a skill that is acquired and relies on having patience and a listening ear, a skill that I have honed throughout the years.
Also in the episode, I talk about the importance of having regular health checks such as sexual health screens after, before or during a relationship. These infections should be detected and treated early, as some sexually transmitted infections such as Chlamydia, may have no symptoms and can cause fertility issues in females later down the line.
As you will see, my day presents me with a wide number of presentations and procedures which I find exhilarating and makes me proud to be a family doctor serving my local community.

Life as a General Practitioner can be exhilarating, from not knowing what is coming through the door to being a detective when listening and examining patients. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes with me to see what a typical day is like.
In the morning, I kick start my day with a cup of coffee and prepare my equipment on my desk, which comprises of my stethoscope, pen and a bottle of water. I then spend some time checking through my results inbox and see which results should be dealt with urgently or routinely. After this, I take a look at my appointment book so that I have an understanding of what to expect during the day and how to pace myself. Then it’s time to see my lovely patients.
During this particular day, I had a mixed bag of presentations, from routine medical consults, to cosmetic injectables to family planning procedures. In the middle of the day I usually have a long lunch break, however on this day I chose to spend a little more time with my cosmetic injectable patient and you’ll find the treatment video online very soon. The variety of my day makes it very exciting and I thoroughly enjoy the different cases I see. Throughout the day I always ensure that I’m staying hydrated and have time to reflect and write up my notes as I see my patients.

Join Maria on her cosmetic journey of facial restoration. In today’s episode I inject 1ml of dermal filler in and around the lips helping to restore the structure of her lower face and what a fantastic outcome she has.
To help achieve this 1ml of Hyaluronic Acid based non-permanent filler was used, typically this can last 6-9 months.
After using a topical anaesthetic cream, a number of lip filler techniques were used:
- Linear threading along the borders of the lips to achieve definition and reduce upper lip wrinkles.
- The fanning technique was employed to achieve volume in both the upper and lower lips.
- Vectoring or tenting was used to help evert the lower lip.
- Finally, structural support to the oral commissures was given to help lift up the corners of the mouth.
To ensure patient satisfaction and symmetry, the lips are assessed regularly. At the end of the treatment, the lips are cleansed with antiseptic cream and moulded into shape.
The outcome is fantastic, the lips look immediately plumper and after 2 weeks they’re fully settled with the upper lip mouth wrinkles reduced dramatically. Our beautiful models lips look hydrated, volumised and suit her face wonderfully. Needless to say, she was very pleased with the outcome.

Notorious for its knife crime, gang violence and shootings I put my steel stethoscope on and decided to see what the fuss was all about.
Much to my surprise the patients were all very pleasant and polite and generally consultations were quick and easy.
Some of the most interesting differences I noted between working in London versus Australia was the strong cockney accent and the differing ethnic diversities. It is such an honour to be in a position to be able to reach out to different populations and spread the word of health promotion and disease prevention.
I’m pleased to have worked there, albeit for a short time, and felt no threat to myself. Would I be back? Well only in London would you see a dog strolling in a trolley and have the royal family on your doorstep, so yes, if the opportunity arose I’d definitely make my way back there again.
PECKHAM
Peckham is a district of south London, England, within the London Borough of Southwark. 3.5 miles south-east of Charing Cross. At the 2001 Census the Peckham ward had a population of 14,720

In this episode I take you on my journey of working as a GP in rural Australia. For the next two weeks I’ll be working from the tropical paradise of the Whitsundays. I share with you some interesting differences between working in a rural town versus working in a metropolitan city and the type of cases that I’ve been presented with.
WHITSUNDAYS
The 74 Whitsunday Islands lie between the northeast coast of Queensland, Australia, and the Great Barrier Reef, a massive stretch of coral teeming with marine life. Most of the islands are uninhabited. They’re characterised by dense rainforest, hiking trails and white sand beaches. The town of Airlie Beach on the mainland is the region’s central hub.
