Men's Health 'Special Envoy' in Australia

[mike carey]

In handing out jobs to members of Parliament after the recent election, the government made one appointment about men's health. They have made up new roles of 'special envoys' and appointed people to these as advocates for, and points of contact within the government for various issues. The new 'special envoy for men's health', Dan Rapacholi is a big bloke, too big at times he will admit, who worked in coal mines in regional NSW before being elected in 2022. Sure this is about a politician, but the story in this article, and I hope of the way he plays the role, is not political, it's about trying to address important health issues. Whether there will be any net effect from it remains to be seen, but the choice of the man for the job is interesting as it speaks to selecting someone who can relate to at least some of the issues.

Hummm … he is misrepresenting prostate health surveillance guidance but I suppose it’s not so bad since physicians know the deal about the applicability of digital rectal exam and prostate-specific antigen in terms of flagging irregularities. One conundrum is putting in bold relief blundering inadequacies. Besides, if hamburgers are to be subject to portion control don’t otherwise threaten deprivation of a harmless good time while simultaneously encouraging opening up.
