Melbourne Cardiothoracic Surgeons will be moving.
After 8 years in East Melbourne and with a change in my public appointment, the rooms will soon move to the Private Consulting Suites at the Melbourne Private Hospital. This exciting change will allow more scope to see patients.

So COVID is still popping up, and will do so for at least the next 6 months.
At MCTS we
Give you the opportunity to have either Telehealth consultations or face to face. In some cases, your surgeon will request to see you, but otherwise you can utilise this feature. Great for out of town patients!

We are starting to see fewer numbers in Melbourne and surrounds. As a result there should be a lifting of restrictions and we will be starting to physically bring people into the rooms over the next few weeks.
We will keep you updated if you have upcoming appointments. There will be a need to maintain appointment times and social distancing, etc.

Totally agree with this message. And from a very good friend of mine.

Get out in this lovely autumn weather people!

Today’s target is 105 push-ups: It’s possible that getting 15 minutes of bright sunlight each morning could reduce levels of mental distress. 15 minutes, 7 days...that’s 105 minutes of sunshine per week! There are a lot of factors that could be at work here to make sunlight a mood booster, including effects on your circadian rhythm, Vitamin D, or just being outside - getting into nature for a few hours per week can also help out your mental health. Whatever the reason - just be sensible! Sunburn doesn’t improve anything.

Home Isolation, Heart Surgery and COVID-19

Are you safe during this unprecedented event that is Covid-19? All our staff are working remotely at present, so the office is not physically open. Just phone, and your call will be answered by one of our team.

If you are referred for surgery, our surgeons are still working. Cardiac and Thoracic surgery is mostly essential and often life saving, so will likely continue. For now, we are only deferring those things that are not compromising you too much. Things like mitral valve disease are an example of something that can often wait. This will allow the health system to deal with what we all hope will be a short (weeks to months) response to the pandemic that has taken over 30000 lives so far.

If you need to be out and about, then do so, but please try to minimise your contact with others, especially older Australians, as they are far more likely to suffer if infected than younger people. Our hospitals and health systems are getting prepared for a huge catastrophe. We can all stop it from becoming that by staying at home.
