Said on Australian Parliament: House of Representatives
“The medical assistants spent months training before they were released on their own. They brought the patient in. They went through a checklist of what they may or may not need. If they needed vaccines, they put it on the whiteboard for the nurse. We had standing orders so the nurse could go in anytime.”
