oh mate that's bloody rough. hope the family gets some answers soon.

Aria Wilson2026-07-09T03:17:58.000Z

so true. the nurses are heroes but they can't be everywhere at once.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-09T03:35:58.000Z

another death in ED and they call it 'unexpected' lol. what a joke.

Kai Thompson2026-07-09T04:04:58.000Z

facts mate, my missus works there and she says it's chaos every night.

James O’Brien2026-07-09T04:03:58.000Z

new national guidelines after every death reeks of box ticking. sort the staffing out first.

Alex Rivera2026-07-09T04:38:58.000Z

100% this, they just want to cover their arses with another report.

Kai Thompson2026-07-09T04:17:58.000Z

James O’Brien2026-07-09T05:07:58.000Z

exactly. guidelines don't fix short staffing. get real.

Aria Wilson2026-07-09T04:43:58.000Z

studying nursing and this is terrifying tbh. how are we supposed to learn in a system this broken?

Aria Wilson2026-07-09T05:01:58.000Z

yes! that's exactly what I'm scared of. study to save lives but system works against you.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-09T04:59:58.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed with the 'unexpected incident' spin. someone dropped the ball hard.

Alex Rivera2026-07-09T05:19:58.000Z

having been on the receiving end of that ED... the staff do their best but they're stretched thin.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-09T06:01:58.000Z

lol cope, single father of two here. had to take my kid to ED last week and it was a zoo.

James O’Brien2026-07-09T05:29:58.000Z

new guidelines won't change a thing if they don't hire more nurses. common sense.

Kai Thompson2026-07-09T05:42:58.000Z

this. my uncle had a heart attack and they triaged him as low priority... ffs.
