The Lawyers will have another meeting with Princess/Carnival on I think 26th August - if no agreement will go to court in March 2022 - two years after the cruise 😳 Some not happy with commissions rulings, still chasing their own payouts 🤔 https://cruisepassenger.com.au/lawyers-claim-carnival-may-say-passengers-aboard-ruby-princess-failed-to-take-reasonable-care/ Edited July 30, 2021 by Porky55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT2407 Posted July 31, 2021 #3903 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Of course you do all realise that the lawyer can’t bring any claim without the client, so maybe you need to consider the “greedy” plaintiffs role in it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely do and they are more than happy to jump on the gravy train when Shine waves the flag. And then they'll probably complain bitterly when any payout they get turns out to be a pittance.

Yes, Shine typically advertises for people to join in a class action and if they get enough of a response they go ahead and try it. I suspect public companies are a lot easier to squeeze money out of than government departments. Shine probably wants to do the minimal amount of work for the maximum amount of money they think they could get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare lyndarra Posted July 31, 2021 #3914 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Thanks everyone. On Thursday I had my gall bladder, along with resident gallstone, removed as it was not getting on happily with my pancreas but it didn't want to go easily. Due a piece of shade cloth implanted in my abdomen 18 years ago, as an incisional hernia repair, the surgeon couldn't find and easy path for his keyhole implements. He eventually found a way to snake the old bladder around and about to eventually freed it. Counted about 6 or 7 holes. Later that night I summoned the duty nurse as I was in excruciating pain because my urinary tract had blocked for some unknown reason (still don't know why but confirmed by a quick ultrasound). She had to go and find the duty ward doctor and about 1 am he had inserted a catheter to finally silence the cries from the poor sufferer - me - much to my literally great relief. Stayed and extra night for observation and all was good so they let me out this morning for good behaviour. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take care, and watch your pancreas after Mrs G had her gall removed her jiggly pancreas really became a problem, lead to her becoming about 95% vegetarian and really watching her fat intake (funny that the love of her life is so fat).

I asked the doc about meals while in hospital and he said whatever's on the menu is fine by him. I would hate to give up cream buns or cream horns from local bakery. Planning on tackling some (a modicum maybe?) fish and chips tomorrow for lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had mine out many years ago. No problems until it was found there were gallstones in my pancreas. Off to a surgeon I went and into hospital again. After a 7 hour operation, the gallstones were removed safely. A week or so in hospital and home for a couple of weeks before returning to work. All good after that and the only thing I can't tolerate cheese and wine together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The doc said his bladder was full of gallstones held together by something that looked like concrete!😱 When I checked in I had to sign an admission form and noticed it had the cost of the operation on it - $4000! I'm really happy my health fund covered the lot as it was done in a private hospital. Edited July 31, 2021 by lyndarra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LincolnLegend Posted July 31, 2021 #3922 Share Posted July 31, 2021 But @possum52, wine and cheese belong together, how do you cope! @lyndarra I hope your recovery is speedy and painless and @getting older slowlyI hope the G&T went down smoothly - no drinking for me this week, I'm working afternoon shifts.
