Work Related Illnesses
Workplace Musculoskeletal Injuries
John, your average data entry professional. His experience is far from unique. Like countless others, John grappled with the reality of workplace musculoskeletal injuries. Here’s a look at his journey, from the first twinge of pain to full recovery.
Respiratory Disease
Meet George, a 55-year-old man who sought care at Urgent Care Brisbane after years of labouring in a local quarry. He was troubled by a relentless cough, constant shortness of breath, and an unshakeable feeling of fatigue. His condition was the unfortunate consequence of exposure to silica dust at work. Welcome to the world of work-related respiratory disease.
Q-fever
Meet Peter, a hardworking farmer who visited Urgent Care Brisbane with fever, chills, and a nagging headache that just wouldn’t go away. Little did he know he had fallen prey to a work-related infection: Q-fever.
PTSD
John, a diligent construction worker at the heart of bustling Brisbane. One fateful day, a misstep led to a grave workplace injury, resulting in a cascade of events that didn’t end with physical scars. Weeks into recovery, John began to exhibit symptoms typical of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Acute stress reaction
Meet Jane. Just last month, she was in Urgent Care Brisbane following a severe car accident.
She was physically fine but experiencing something else – a whirlwind of intrusive thoughts, nightmares, and a pounding heart that refused to calm down. It felt as if the accident’s trauma was replaying itself repeatedly. She was diagnosed with an Acute Stress Reaction (ASR), a common response following a traumatic event.
Depression

Work-related depression and anxiety are not only real but increasingly common in today’s high-stress work environments.
