[QUOTE="QPR4Me, post: 1638320, member: 132584"] Thank God/FSM that we have the NHS in the UK. My treatment experience is far better than what you seem to have received. Add to that, I have long since given up trying to be subtle about my injections, and will never sneak off to the toilet areas of restaurants or bars to inject. If someone looks at me while I'm injecting, I just think, I hope you're not squeamish , then carry on doing what I need to stay alive. The last time someone fainted in front of me was when I was in an A&E Dept after my mum had been taken seriously ill. I injected before eating some food and a guy with a suspect broken wrist was fascinated by what I was doing, until I injected in my stomach. He promptly passed out and hit the deck, to the vast amusement of his mates. I just thought, tough, serves you right for looking. It seems that Victoria seems to be home to some people with some pretty primitive ideas, probably not evolved much from those who burned "witches" at the stake! As for my sharps box. I just phone my local council (Wandsworth) and they send a chap round in a van to collect my full one and drop off a new container for me to use. Very civilised indeed. Perhaps some re-education of people is needed in Aus, so that people realise the important differences between a skanky, druggy junkie and us Insulin Junkies! Good luck! [/QUOTE]
