Professor Sandy Reid AM of the University of New South Wales Rural Clinical School in Wagga Wagga writes in this short handbook for overseas-trained doctors working in Australia: When I came to this county as a migrant from Britain I found there were many Australian expressions which were quite new to me. I can imagine how difficult this must be for those of you for whom English is not your first language. This short guide may help.

Often amusing, this guide to the language Australians use when talking to their medical practitioner is always helpful. I'm wobbly on my pins. I'm as deaf as a post. I can't think straight. The kids have got nits. I've got the trots.
