I near broke my back a while back after losing a game of Bull rush,( with an actual Bull),after a while i get a letter in the mail for a hospital appointment.
I turn up,hand in the mailed,auto filled out form for the appointment,it had my name address,dob, and everything else about me on it.

Wait for 3 hours,painful to sit or stand.Then i get told the doctor will see me.Wait in some room for another 45 mins.
Finally some guy bustles into the room,doesnt even glance at me,hands me a form to fill out then disappears.I fill out the form,my name,address,dob,blah blah, then wait another 30 mins for someone to take it.Guy shows up,looks at the form,types it into a computer and the printer spits out a sticker will all this info (name,dob etc) and he then sticks it onto the form and says "all done,we will send out a letter for an appointment for you to be assessed."
Something in my face must have alarmed him as he backed out of the room when i made the mild comment of 'i can see why there is so much security around''.

the further up the management chain people are the more detached from reality, and more self entitlement to their undeserved wages they become. Dont worry, the peasants will revolt over this shit soon

My wife is a ICU nurse at waikato hospital,so i know all about the issues with the management there.Its not the frontline staff, nurses,doctors etc i have an issue with,its the blase management that simply dont care about the patients or the staff.

I just didnt appreciate having to stand for over 4 hours,purely to fill in a form with basic info they already had.Not when i was in that amount of pain.
