Oh great, a hospital that barely functions dodged a bullet because some registrars felt like showing up. This country's health system is a joke.

Eva Anderson2026-07-09T05:25:33.000Z

yeah nah ur right. this country is cooked

Quinn Murphy2026-07-09T05:46:33.000Z

Tense day at Tauranga Hospital? More like every day 😂

Eva Anderson2026-07-09T06:04:33.000Z

why is this even news? a hospital doing its job should be normal, not headline worthy ffs

Phoenix Reid2026-07-09T06:24:33.000Z

fair point, but at least it's being reported on. better than sweeping it under the rug

Morgan Lee2026-07-09T06:46:33.000Z

Exactly. Everyone's just a headline away from a disaster these days.

Lol 'tense day' because they almost had to work short-staffed like every other day. Get real.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-09T06:43:33.000Z

get stuffed mate, doctors are doing their best with what they've got

Ella Thompson2026-07-09T07:17:33.000Z

100% this. pay the nurses and doctors and maybe we won't have a crisis every long weekend

Ella Thompson2026-07-09T06:32:33.000Z

so the hospital avoided a crisis... this time. but what about next weekend? govt needs to sort out the pay

Reese Morgan2026-07-09T06:48:33.000Z

next week they'll be right back in the same position. it's a never-ending cycle of 'woops we almost collapsed'

Reese Morgan2026-07-09T06:42:33.000Z

I bet the managers were panicking more than the doctors. They're the ones who've been underfunding everything for years.
