it's Australia Day on monday - celebrating when the first fleet landed here and became a part of the Queen's country. And stole the land from the true natives . But this Australia Day will be pretty exciting, because our PM just recently apologised to the Aboriginal people for all the atrocities we committed against them, so I'm hopeful that we'll be able to reconcile and move forward .
Australia Day... hmm. I'm so American that being seen as part of "THE QUEENS COUNTRY" is antithetical to being, well, American. Don't shoot me though! Don't worry; here we have Columbus Day, where we give thanks to God for destroying the Indians by feasting!

So here in America, doctors traditionally are hard to get callbacks from traditionally, unless it's important. Thing is they are really busy most of the time. I'm sure it's the same where you are, you think?
