Goonellabah Dental Clinic

I am a pensioner. Goonellabah Dental Clinic phoned me to get me to visit clinic today [15th Sept 09]. I travelled 200km [each way 100km] for a two minute conversation. I was told that my gums were shrinking. I knew that. I could have been told over the phone or by mail. I mentioned this fact and the good dentist did a minor filling to make my trip worthwhile.
But the system itself ... why make a pensioner travel 200km for a two minute talk?
What sort of arrogance has become the culture of our health people?
It cost a lot of money to drive that far. Who will reimburse me?
