Paediatrician's are HOT! Give them your money $$$$


So on a serious note, my Godson is in critical care at the Royal Children's at the moment. I cannot stress enough how lucky we are in this country to have a public health system that allows us to seek medical care no matter what financial situation we are in. The Melbourne Royal Children's Hospital is the best of its kind in Australia & families from all over this country choose to receive their care from the hospital & it's finest Doctors.


The Royal Children's is the only hospital in Australia to be able to offer the ECMO machine - extra corporeal membrane oxygenation - which is surgically inserted and effectively takes over the work of the heart and lungs. My Godson is currently connected to this machine & without it he would not be here, still fighting a strong battle to live. These machines as you can imagine, cost the equivalent of several houses put together, so every dollar counts. If you have never thought about donating before, maybe now is the time to evaluate. I surely have. I have seen where the money goes.


My close friend (and Mother of my Godson) has been staying at Ronald McDonald House for 2 months, as they came here for the medical care from interstate, and the charity of others has put a roof over her head, fed her, supported her & looked after her family & friends too. You just never think things like this could happen to you, but if the time was ever to avail, you would hope for the same generosity. They say what goes around comes back around, so why not put out a helping hand anyway you can and know that you are helping people & families just like yours to pull through the toughest situations that they have ever had to deal with.


If that's not a good enough reason, I spotted (no word of a lie) around 6 Paediatricians today and they were some of the most attractive people I have ever seen. It was like an episode of Grey's Anatomy, ( or a Calvin Klein Ad for that matter...except they were wearing scrubs & not underwear). So instead of shelling out your money to buy a glossy magazine to perv on Matthew McConaughey with his shirt off again, or Brad Pitt piggy-backing one of his orphans, give your money to charity instead & help support these doctors who bring kids back to life and look really hot doing it too.
