🌿 Thunderstorm Asthma Season: Be Prepared 🌿

It’s grass pollen season in Victoria, which runs through to the end of January. When high pollen combines with thunderstorms and strong winds, it can trigger sudden asthma symptoms, even in people who haven’t had asthma before.

A little preparation goes a long way:
💊 Keep your reliever inhaler with you during the season
📋 Review your asthma action plan, or book a review if you don’t have one
📱 Check the daily risk forecast on the VicEmergency app or website
🌬️ On high-risk days, stay indoors during storms and the winds before them, with windows and doors closed
🚑 Struggling to breathe? Call 000 straight away

Hay fever sufferers: you’re at risk too, so talk to your GP about managing your symptoms.

Meet the Traders: John, Hurstbridge Medical Centre 🩺

In April 2025, John and his wife (a GP at one of their other practices) took over Hurstbridge Medical Centre, because they believe a practice like this belongs in private hands, where its character and culture can be protected and cared for 💙.

This classic family practice fits beautifully alongside their others, where doctors and staff are most important assets. Here they care for the whole family, from newborns to grandparents, and are genuinely interested in the bigger picture of people's lives, not just what's on the chart.

Many of the practice's 17 doctors, nurses and receptionists have been part of the team for years, building the kind of trust that doesn't happen overnight. Among them is Dr. Anna Kelly, daughter of founder Paul Kelly, who poured over 45 years into the practice before lovingly passing it on to John and his wife 🙌.

Then there's Dr. Ibraham Barakat, the much-loved skin doctor behind mole mapping and skin procedures 🔬. John has even been stopped in the street by locals wanting to share how Dr. Ibraham caught their skin cancer early and saved their life, the kind of story that stays with you.

Hurstbridge Medical Centre is also a training practice for doctors, nurses and medical students, so you'll always be cared for by a warm mix of experienced hands and eager new talents.

It's hard to miss how quickly John fell in love with Hurstbridge. 🧡 Just six months in, he stepped up as president of the Hurstbridge Traders Association at a time when it faced potential extinction, and through his leadership, helped bring it back to life. He's been a warm, familiar presence in town ever since, from local celebrations 🎉 to the (very serious) business of cake judging 🍰. On an actual serious note, John has also applied for and won grants to support the town's festive season, so be excited for what's to come this Christmas. 🎄✨

👋 If you spot John wandering the main street, give him a wave and a say hi.

The HSGA declares that Hurstbridge Fine Meat’s latest pumpkin and feta sausage is both 40% vegetarian and absolutely delicious!

Lachie, sausage king and creative force at Hurstbridge Fine meats, has really produced something special here. Who’d have thought to put pumpkin and feta in a sausage? And it works brilliantly. Matched perfectly with dijon mustard. You can smell the pumpkin bouquet when cooking them. And you feel 30% healthier when you do.

The HSGA sommelier recommends a glass of 1954 Penfold’s Grange as a w**e match. Perfect. Or any w**e with alcohol in it. This is a versatile sausage.

The HSGA lab found a 40% vegetarian content - which has the potential to be higher depending on which part of the sausage you are eating at the time. If this sausage had any more vegetarian in it we would be forced to call it a carrot. The question is, how many of these would you have to eat to get your daily vegetable servings nutritional requirement? Watch this space.

If you love your dad and value his health, you need to buy him some pumpkin and feta sausages from Hurstbridge Fine Meats. Or a tomahawk steak. Both are good.
