I have a son who is hearing impaired. I wish to migrate to Australia for his education and future.?
I am a Malaysian Christian living in Singapore. Desperately seeking job and help to migrate to Australia to provide education and better future for my son who is hearing impaired. He has done a cochlear implant and currently studying in Singapore. I cannot afford to stay on in Singapore as the properties are too expensive for us to rent or buy. How and what can I do to be able to move to Australia. I have 12 years of working experience in service industry. 6 years in food catering and 3 years working experience as a dental nurse.

First you will need to apply for a job in Australia, and you can search through goggle on job search in http://www.careerone.com.au/sa-jobs/science, and there are many more just type in your job type. Then when once you have confirmed a job, apply for visa and get information on housing and so on. Listen computer today has made everything so simple, and you have information on your fingertips. Just the matter of getting the courage to get started.

If your son is classed as disabled you might have a problem - you will need to prove that he will not be a burden on society (not require any medical or social help etc). A friend of my fathers was refused entry from the UK because of a deaf child, despite bringing in over 500K with him, it wasn't enough for the authorities to prove he would be supported for the rest of his life..

There is a possibility you might be denied residency - there was a recent case in the news about a German doctor who had moved to Australia to work in a rural town. He has a child with Down Syndrome and his application for PR was not approved because they deemed the child a burden on the health care system. Health care is free in Australia to citizens and PRs. Because of the outrage it provoked, they were later allowed to stay. In any case, I can understand where you're coming from. You never know until you try. All the best.

What does this joke mean? (this joke is from the book "BITTERSWEET SIXTEEN")
What does this joke mean? (this joke is from the book "BITTERSWEET SIXTEEN")?
I dont really understand this joke. This joke is from the book "Bittersweet Sixteen" by Carrie Karasyov & Jill Kargman. ------------------------------- "Better than without them," said Jake. Before I could ask him what the deal was with his MIA 'rents, he changed the subject. "Wow, so this is your fashion design center," he said, examining my piles of fabric, ribbons and sewing gear. "Yeah this is where it all happens, my very unglamourous sweatshop." "Where are all the Malaysian eleven-year-olds?" he asked. I had to laugh. But my smile was eclipsed by a full-force blush attach as Jake's eyes turned to peruse my walls, which were laden with huge, romantic black-and-white posters of couples kissing, running hand in hand on the Brooklyn Bridge, and the famous post-WWII soldier-nurse smooch in Times Square. --------------------------------------- So that was the joke. I am an Malaysian, so it is quite interesting to find out what the joke means. Especially when I don't even find it funny. Is it an insult to us malaysians?

How can I help support my mum in her workplace
How can I help support my mum in her workplace?
My mum is a registered nurse working in a resthome. When she goes to work (usually at night) there is typically only one or two other RN's in the place. It's large and sprawling, and at night the nurses are spread thin, so the bulk of staff are made up by caregivers. They're all Filippino/Malaysian and band together, speaking their language to one another, effectively excluding nurses and patients from any conversation. Now, my mum is placed in charge of the home at night, and as such is often at loggerheads with the caregivers when they get cheeky, trying to get things done their way instead of the prescribed way. They've taken this to the point where they set off fire alarms deliberately just so they can get breaks more often, vandalised mum's car by scraping off the logo, and being snarky and rude. I know there's nothing I can do directly because I don't have the facts. Any direct complaint made by me may place my mother's job in jeopardy. But it's just so horrible to sit with her after she comes home and hear that she ate dinner alone in a side room because the canteen was full of caregivers who would be rude to her if she tried to sit with them. I really want to do something, but I don't know what. Could someone please give me some sensible advice? I'd really appreciate it.

Honey I don't know what age you are, but you sound like a lovely caring young daughter to your Mum. I tell you what I would do if I were you, not telling your Mum I would go off and see the Matron of that place and tell them how it is for your Mother when she gets home. These caregivers should be forced not to speak their native language, they are grouping up and going against your mother who is in charge as you say, as they think there is safety in numbers, which means them all against one person your Mum. If your Mum won't stand up for herself or more so complain about them, then perhaps coming from you to the matron the rest home will pay attention to what is going on. I would also try encouraging your mother to take up work at another place if I were you. I think the reason this rest home employs so many people from Malaysia etc is that they work for less than the average pay over here anyway - so that don't say much for the owners of that rest home does it. Good Luck anyway, I think your mother is best out of there, and working somewhere else where her skills talent and kindness will be appreciated. God bless you both.

It sounds like you are a very caring person. I know that you want to help your mother, but unfortunately, there is nothing you can do. The only person who can change this situation is your mother. Now, I feel sorry for your mother because I know how awful it is to have a stressful job. But she should be careful not to stress YOU out. It is OK to complain once in a while about things. But it is not OK to complain all the time about the same thing, without doing anything to help yourself. What I'm saying is, to me, it sounds like your mother needs to either DO something about this situation or stop complaining. Because right now, she is making herself miserable and she is making you worried, and things at work are not improving. So here is what I think you need to do. Tell your mother that you understand why is is stressed. But she stressing you out and she is making herself miserable. It is time to do something about this situation. Tell her that she either needs to start looking for another job or say something to her supervisor. She should certainly report her suspicions about the fire alarms. The other thing she needs to do is start using her authority to control the staff. Now, it could be that the resthome bosses won't do anything about this situation. If they don't, your mother needs to find another job. This situation is obviously making everyone in your home unhappy, and it can't go on. Good luck.

If you can invest a lot, then you can start at your premises buying good quality dialysis machines. Make a visit to Madras Institute of Nephrology or Guest Hospital or MR Hospital and these Hospitals provide a quality dialysis service to people in Chennai and where you can find variety of machines and the dialysers used. If your investment will be less, then try to go with a established hospital. Always keep in your mind, doctors are more business (money) minded than a hard-core business men. They may try to suck everything out from you than supporting you (Sorry to say but it is the truth). In India normally people re-use dialysers. Please find a good vendor of the machines with good service back-up. Trivitron Medical Systems is one such organisation. But ask the supplier of the machines and see that he is handling the same brand atleast for 2 to 3 years.

Liver Dialysis for the first time in the country In continuation with its policy of bringing the best healthcare facilities to the country, Apollo Hospitals Group, Asia�s most trusted healthcare provider, launched a state-of-the-art Liver Unit at Apollo Hospitals, Chennai today. A first-of-its-kind initiative in the country, the Liver Unit will provide treatment facilities for all kinds of liver problems and would have a stand alone Intensive Care Unit. A unique feature of the Liver Unit will be the soon to be installed Liver Dialysis Facility, which will be available for the first time in India. The Liver Unit was dedicated to the people by Dr. Prathap C Reddy � Chairman, Apollo Hospitals Group. The inaugural ceremony was followed by a discussion on Liver diseases in India and the treatment facilities available for the same. The session was attended by Hepatologists from the city and was addressed by specialists from Apollo Hospitals, Chennai and Delhi. Speaking at the occasion, Dr. Prathap C Reddy said, �The newly opened Liver Unit is a very valuable addition to Apollo Hospitals and to Chennai�s healthcare infrastructure. It will offer quality healthcare facilities at a fraction of the international cost and through its Liver Dialysis facility, which will be available for the first time in the country, it will ensure that patients get the benefit of the best international facilities in India itself.� He further added, �Apollo Hospitals has been the pioneer in treatment of Liver diseases and our centre in Delhi, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, has already been providing Liver Transplant facilities for over five years now. Indraprastha Apollo is also the only center in the entire South and Central Asian Region to offer facilities for Live Donor Liver Transplantation.� Apollo Hospital�s Liver Unit will offer several benefits to people. A stand-alone unit, it will have 30 beds, sophisticated equipment for treatment and a fully equipped Intensive Care Unit (ICU). It will have a dedicated protocol for handling cases, ensuring that the treatment process is streamlined. The medical teams will work in close coordination and every week there will be a �Grand Round� by all the key specialists to assess the progress made by each patient. This is aimed at understanding every individual patient�s requirement in the best possible manner and offer instant solutions to facilitate quick recuperation. Another noteworthy feature of the Liver Unit is the soon to be installed Liver Dialysis Facility. To be available for the first time in the country, it will be similar to Renal (Kidney) Dialysis and will help patients with severe liver disease to get stabilized before they undergo surgery. It will also help in de-toxifying any negative agents in the body of the patient. The Unit will gradually increase its service delivery and will also start liver transplant programs soon. It will offer treatment facilities for all kind of liver complications and would be a one-stop-shop for any disease of the liver. The Apollo Hospitals Enterprises Ltd. (AHEL) was formed with the merger of IHCL (Indian Hospitals Corporation Ltd.), DHCL (Deccan Hospitals Corporation Ltd.) and OSHL (Om Sindoor Hotels Ltd.). The enterprise today comprises a network of 39 hospitals, owning and managing over 5,000 hospital beds, 10 primary clinics and over 100 pharmacies, making it the single largest healthcare provider in Asia. The group has an aggregated turnover of over Rs. 500 crores. Apart from the core area of hospitals, the group has also diversified into various related avenues including e-health, franchising, IT & internet based technology, telemedicine, virtual medical university, education and training, home healthcare, pharmacy retailing, hospital project management and health insurance.
