f#$#$#$ North Shore hospital morons.

LOL. Hamiltron used to have a naturopath. She's in jail for trying to defraud ASB for $3 million I probably shouldn't really say this since, while I don't believe in many naturopathic/homeopathic remedies, I do strongly believe in the wonder that is the placebo effect
Bogan, sorry to hear about your gut ulcer. You'd hope the doctor would know this but then again they've only just graduated from university and know shit all really. It's good to get a consultant and not a noob house surgeon

lol, yeh theres bad ones in every profession I spose, the Dr that saw me has been family dr for over 20 years, so he knows a lot of shit, we got a consult and everything too, but they wanted to run more tests (3k and couple of weeks wait) and shit. And it was definitely not the placebo effect, just the difference in conventional medicine vs natural. Conventional has to be sure of a diagnosis before trying shit, whereas natural can just try a heap of shit and it'll sort it

totally agree Jimmy, am suprised by the stupidity of frostys commnets.
F/F

YOUR wife aint lying in a hospital bed in fucken agony whilst a doctor on the way home (literally)is telling her its just period pains and she should go home.
That comment was moronic.
Yep im pretty upset about it

Yep, I slived my foot right the fuck open one evening at 5pm. Got to the NSH by about 5:45 after finding it was pretty deep (Apparently very lucky it didn't sever the tendens and ALL the nerves).

Left at 5:30am with 6 stitches. By a doctor kind enough to notice how long I'd be waiting, AN HOUR after his shift finished. What he was doing there, I do not know.

when you go to hospital you should always say that you have had a hard nock on the noggin that way you will get prioritised right up the waiting list or in your missus's case a seriously hard nock on the noggin that has brought on violent stomach cramps.

Chest pains
Difficulty breathing

Nuff said,

They are not Morons Frosty they are excellent Doctors and nursing staff that are overworked, under resourced and are stretched to the limit. They are just human and make errors like you do. Perhaps you could lobby the DHB's to fund hospitals better so your wife can have the treatment you expect from a first world hospital.
Hope Jorja gets better soon, just take it easy on the staff they are doing there best with what they have.

I've just spent 6 weeks in there and I agree with what's written above. The crap equipment the day-to-day nurses have to work with and the hot-bed scenario the doctors have to work with. North Shore was underfunded throughout the comrad Helen years and what you are experiencing is the result. If you go out to Middlemore, or the Manukau Super Centre you will see what decent funding can do.

The North Shore has too many white middle class people so there were no votes for the red brigade and, ergo, we missed out on the funding.

Try......

Migraines, vommiting, vertigo, slurred words, confusion (while being medicated for extremely high blood pressure) to be told "you have the flu, have you ever had the flu before?" The person involved was told over the phone to stay home and that they didn't need to see a doctor.

Had severe pain while pregnant with our daughter from 12wks onwards. Was told that unless I was bleeding it was normal. (Normal apparently being unable to walk and by 29wks keeling over in pain). That said the outcome would have been the same.

Take her back and jump up and down a bit. I don't blame you for needing somewhere to vent.

Don't take this the wrong way... You should have left your initial post and just updated in a later one rather than editing to suit your mood.

Yea dude probably right-but then the information was wrong -it was ONE person not the entire staff.

Naaah - they're going to cut back on health spending, aren't they - so expect even more of the same........

Hope Jorja gets better soon, just take it easy on the staff they are doing their best with what they have.

wot he said.

Frosty, you know where we are if you need anything mate.

[Tank]

Ignoring all the other stuff Frosty - having met you both I know you are both giving, awesome people (My son still talks about Frostys fun day).

Loads of good wishes pointed your guys way - and I hope that you get to the bottom of this really soon.
