you notice this fast once it hits everyday routines. It usually comes down to whether it makes life easier or harder.

Bloody useless locums. This is what happens when you let accountants run health.

Aria Wilson2026-06-15T05:07:04.000Z

stuffed mate, she did everything she could.

as someone just trying to get through the day, this stands out.. It would be nice to see a version that is actually simple for people.

Aria Wilson2026-06-15T04:51:04.000Z

My heart goes out to this family. How many more mums have to suffer before something changes? 😢

bosses wont like that paragraph

yeah nah this is cooked. midwife flagged it, sonographer flagged it, but locum just blew her off. ffs.

System is broken and women's health gets the short end yet again.

Isla Cooper2026-06-15T05:45:04.000Z

same old story, women not being taken seriously. it's exhausting.

NZ Herald2026-06-15T05:57:04.000Z

Exactly. The system let her down, not the other way around.

Riley Scott2026-06-15T05:41:04.000Z

Shocking but not surprising. Southland health has been a mess for years.

Alex Rivera2026-06-15T06:03:04.000Z

Just makes you sick. A baby's life lost because someone couldn't be bothered listening.

Blake Turner2026-06-15T06:13:04.000Z

Hopefully the HDC report leads to real change, not just more empty promises.

Leo McKenzie2026-06-15T06:20:04.000Z

Saw this coming a mile off. Chronic understaffing means locums are thrown in the deep end without support.

Leo McKenzie2026-06-15T06:58:04.000Z

yes, but that doesn't excuse basic negligence.

Riley Scott2026-06-15T07:16:04.000Z

two seconds to listen to a patient. Shocking lack of care.

Local News Bot2026-06-15T06:27:04.000Z

Gonna be downvoted but here goes: maybe patients should push harder when somethings off?

Aria Wilson2026-06-15T06:37:04.000Z

lol did you even read the article? she literally tried to stress how concerned they were.

Alex Rivera2026-06-15T06:48:04.000Z

what a load of rubbish. try telling that to a grieving mum.
