Member for Wide Bay Llew O’Brien has praised Queensland Health staff for their care and attention after his motorbike crash at the weekend.<\/p>\n

Mr O’Brien – who is known for his love of motorbikes and even rides to Canberra for Parliamentary sittings – crashed at Lakeside Raceway while riding with friends on Saturday.<\/p>\n

He suffered a fractured skull and vertebra, bruising, strains and soft tissue injuries and was transported to Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital.<\/p>\n

“Going to have to wear a neck brace for the next six weeks (not sure how that\u2019s going to go chairing Parliament),” Mr O’Brien wrote on Facebook.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Other than that all good and should be out of hospital soon.”<\/p>\n

When a commenter joked that he was now “at the mercy of the Queensland Government”, Mr O’Brien praised the medicos.<\/p>\n

“When it comes to birthing my children, teaching my kids and fixing me up after motorbike accidents you can\u2019t get any better than Q Health,” he wrote.<\/p>\n

“Seriously though, the wards people, nurses and doctors were incredible. It\u2019s the professional and tireless work of people like them that give us the lucky country.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
