Emergency doctors warn of worsening hospital crisis with the winter flu season…

Another winter, another hospital crisis. National should be ashamed of running our health system into the ground while they pat themselves on the back for tax cuts. Use some of that money for actual healthcare, you muppets.

nah mate we've heard this story every year for a decade. nothing changes

Zoe King2026-06-24T18:50:53.000Z

oh here we go, the sky is falling again... didn't they say the same thing last year? maybe people should just wash their hands and stay home

RNZ2026-06-24T19:12:53.000Z

cos it gets worse every year m8. look at the actual stats if you can be bothered

My mate works at Auckland ED, said it's been chaos for weeks. they're putting patients in corridors again. ffs

Tom Harris2026-06-24T19:52:53.000Z

too right. hope your mate's ok. my brother's a paramedic, says it's like a war zone out there

Hayden Kelly2026-06-24T19:52:53.000Z

they won't. easier to complain without checking anything

Sending love to all the healthcare workers holding it together. You guys are actual heroes, not the All Blacks. 💙

Wife's been waiting 8 hours at ED with a broken arm. absolute joke. bunch of clowns running this country

Tom Harris2026-06-24T20:39:53.000Z

8 hours and counting 😡 but getting downvoted for speaking truth

As a student nurse, this is terrifying. We're being asked to do 12-hour shifts with barely any support. The system is broken.

Eva Anderson2026-06-24T20:51:53.000Z

same! they literally threw us in without proper PPE. crazy

Drew Parker2026-06-24T20:28:53.000Z

damn, first winter after the floods and this is what we get? time to move to Australia i reckon

Zoe King2026-06-24T20:51:53.000Z

Australia has the same problems lol. grass is always greener until you see their wait times too

Drew Parker2026-06-24T21:23:53.000Z
