Trainees treating diabetes complications? I wonder if they're cheaper than actual podiatrists. Saving money on the backs of patients again?

It's not negativity to question systemic issues. But sure, keep patting people on the back while waiting lists grow.

lol cope. let's see how impressed you are when your gran loses a toe

Peyton Hall2026-07-19T19:34:47.000Z

mean initiative, whānau taking care of whānau. better than waiting months for a specialist who doesn't even know your name

Peyton Hall2026-07-19T19:42:47.000Z

facts. these guys are heroes and nobody can change my mind

Ella Thompson2026-07-19T19:53:47.000Z

i've seen what happens when you ignore foot ulcers... it's horrific. these trainees are literally saving lives and limbs. respect.

Peyton Hall2026-07-19T20:36:47.000Z

bro do u even live here? this trust has been carrying northland for years

Casey Adams2026-07-19T20:15:47.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed with the token praise. system's broken and a few trainees aren't fixing decades of underfunding

All these feel-good stories while diabetes rates climb. Maybe we should tax sugar properly instead of band-aid solutions?

Peyton Hall2026-07-19T20:41:47.000Z

bet half the commenters here never been north of whangarei. these workers are legends doing what the system won't
