Heifers who did loops around 2 neighbours gardens 3 separate times today, while I was trying to draw them home, blowout on the trailer, all of course in the mid afternoon, ended up pricking about for an hr in the dark at it all, only in from milking now. And of course there is only one idiot who has to take the blame for all this...

Would the vaccines be rendered useless because of that? Why not use them now?

I will use them in the morning. I wont ask if they are useless, I dont want an answer. Think the fridge was only off for a day that's what I will keep telling myself

Made the mistake of confiding in OH about a chest pain during milking...Wally!

I’m out now after being plugged in, photographed, bled and trussed. Tax dollars well spent, or I’d be still in there tomorrow.

You would have been a far bigger wally if you had delayed going.
A man in my area felt unwell but decided to do the milking anyway before going to casualty. Big mistake, he was having a stroke and is partly paralysed down one side. Might have been a different outcome if he had gone sooner, his farming career is over.

Years ago I had 5 cows in the crush for ai after using prid on them, I told the wife to ring the ai station that morning. We went to town that day and coming home about 3pm I mentioned about the cows for ai, wife goes oh fcuk I forgot to ring ai station :eek: I lost the plot. The following morning all cows were still mad bulling ai'd and went incalf, all's well that ends well

And the cows survived without him, we are all a bit guilty of that. As a man said to me one time if the tractor breaks down you'll sort it out or if a cow gets sick you'll call the vet but we are very slow to look after ourselves.

Plenty people ignored them bills, cost zero. No wonder the healthcare is in such a mess.

Hope it’s nothing serious but always one to get checked.

I have often done that here. So I now text the ai man night before or as I am putting the cows in the crush. Used to have to wait until 8.30am to ring ai station, by that stage I would be back in the house in Mammy mode and would forget. It's handier now

Is there a charge for casualty over there? What sort of a health system is it?

Local man here got a belt in the chest off a bull and left it. Found dead in the tractor 3 days later

I think it should go to a farmer in the next parish who gave €500 an acre to rent ground on a long-term lease

I'm not sure, see plenty of people going to the doctor with their kids as it's free. Most of the time with nothing wrong with them. Meaning those of us who are paying cant get an appointment when we are genuinely ill :mad: Most of them dont realise they pick up more germs in the waiting room

Nope per acre guaranteed. Ground down here would start at 300 per acre

If it's any consolation, one of our employees left £24 k worth out of the fridge a few weeks ago, and it all had to be binned.

Free gp but you still have to pay for the hospital daily rate up to 10 nights- out small lady had a virus last year and was a week in the hospital and we got a bill of around 250/300€.

The fee gp is great though.

For all the talk of lads paying that much I've yet to meet anyone that actually is

I’ve only experienced the health systems in Ireland, UK, US and Oz, and all I can say is that the French put the lot in the halfpenny place.
Carlsberg ad is the best description.

All is free, including all medicines.

I’ve family on the payroll here so as to be able to avail of the health system in case of something big happening...

Didn’t look too well recently for the HSE when cancer survival figures came in at
*under* the Eu average.

Yes top notch and free, but I’m/we’re taxed through the nose so the system can be funded.

Even a visit to local GP is free.
(Edit. It costs €1).

Listened to an economist on radio lately saying that if the French health system deteriorated the tax take would fall as people lose confidence on where their tax dollars are spent, and would start to avoid paying tax....the French actually want to pay tax!
Some culture shock for me!

Do you reckon that tax is higher with you or is it, as I've often said, that the HSE is ripping us off for very poor healthcare

Yea, a GP friend claims he has to just hand outprescriptions for antibiotics for 'coughs' that he knows isn't required because they'll be just back the next day if he doesn't.
Can't have the little dotes coughing during the night, now can we.

Daughter got an ear infection with every tooth she got, resulting in high temperatures and then convuslsions. Had to go to doctor everytime for a prescription, throw in a couple of kidney infections and chest infections into the mix, she was an expensive child. The gp gave us an odd free/reduced cost visit as he felt sorry for us. Otherwise we paid for it all. The free schemes came in just as our youngest turned 6

Also know a woman that flatly refuses to take any medicine, wouldn't even take an aspirin.
Apart from her pregnancies she had her gallbladder out at 45 and didn't see a doctor again until she had to for her license at 70.
In hindsight she was correct, she had one horrible pregnancy, sick all the time, and her doctor prescribed Thalidomide for her, needless to say she refused to take it.
You can be very lucky healthwise too.

I would have to be near death to go to the doctor myself
