My soundbar. I turn it off after I turn off the TV at night but it randomly turns back on, up to 3 times per night [-(

This is the real reason of ramping, not the lack of paramedcis/ambulances etc (although they are real problems to). Make GP's affordable/accessible and hospitals would be less inundated with "minor" issues.

Given what other professions charge I think GP’s are very well priced given what they do.
After your rebate it’s less than $50 a visit/consult/phone consult

I have always said the way to fix ramping is charge doctors rates to visit.
But no government has the balls to properly address the problem

Exactly.
If it’s an emergency you’ll pay whatever the charge.

Unfortunately, the entire health system is cactus.

If they did start charging for a hospital visit, people would then move to their local doctors
Try and get an urgent appointment now - its going to overlead that framework if there is a shift fron the public to the private system
It's easier to wait 12 hours in a hospital than 2 weeks for a GP

It's only going to get worse.

Hope not built it 8 years ago. Reckon it has something to do with the optical cable, it turns on automatically too when I turn on the TV.
