Gonna be waiting 6.5 hours today in Waitakere Hospital ED to be seen, the wait at Auckland ED last weekend was 4-5 hours. If only National would make wait times an election issue rather than their usual bullshit

How could that be an election issue? The only thing a politician can do about that is increased spending (and a lot of it), and I thought National's whole thing is having a balanced budget after years of reckless spending

The one thing National won't make an election issue is anything that could be solved by increasing the government spend. Besides, they all have private insurance anyway.

Has it ever been the case that you'd be seen quickly at hospital EDs? Other than for the usual set of brain/cardiovascular symptoms that jump you up the line. I remember breaking my arm as a kid and having to sit around for hours.

To be fair they put me on a bed fairly quick, then had to get x-rays.... Then the surgeon had to look at them, get another x-ray from a different angle, even a CT scan. With all the people involved it's definitely going to be a couple hours. It's okay, I want exactly going anywhere. I imagine it is maybe quicker now in some ways now that x-rays can be pretty much instantaneous and available digitally. But then that's probably just led to staff being cut

increasing government spend on roads just makes the roads worse, so you know national already has a top 5 most important roads in nz that they're gonna plow a bunch of cash into peepee partnerships that will cost three times as much because of the efficiency gains inherent in the capitalist system.

I think in Britain the NHS had a requirement for patients to be seen by a medical professional within a certain timeframe. They got around this by hiring a nurse as a glorified greeter in the ED. Also National absolutely would make ED waiting times an issue. They would not pledge more money or resources to actually fix issues in healthcare etc. But talk about brining in their business experience to find efficiencies and make it all better. Maybe talk about opening things up to private competition to make it better and cheaper. Of course it will all be a failure but they have run these bullshit lines in the past.

Yeah medical professionals are in short supply what with heaps dying from covid and heaps leaving the profession because of covid and the fact that we don't make it easy or attractive to be a medical professional because we don't want to spend the money and haven't done so for decades before the pandemic except if you're cuba

i like the idea of going into emergency with a gushing wound on my hand or something and going "uhhhh electrocuted". or like when my baby vaulted headfirst out of her high chair, taking her in and just going "yeah she landed on her head um and it was in a puddle that was electrified so if you could check out her electrocution wound and maybe just let me know about the bump too". ringing up my GP about insomnia due to nightly electrocution, etc

ED wait time targets are exactly the sort of things Tories introduce (and they did in the UK) which make the actual problem (not enough capacity and staff) worse because it forces redeployment to the ED and then you end out bottlenecked from moving people out of ED and all the classic scenes of people in trolleys in corridors etc. The actual fix is increasing capacity in primary care, making primary care affordable so people don't hit up ED just because it's free or programs where at triage people get sent off immediately to an on-site GP or PCP if that's what they actually need instead of clogging up ED.

lol Robbo is bribing teachers $5210 to settle instead of going on strike like literally the new deal negotiated today is not much above the old one but it offers a $4500 one off payment ($3000 to non union members) and a further $710 nominally to cover registration fees bonus vs raise bullshit
