The Front Page - Podcast tekijän mukaan NZ Herald
Emergency department wait times are the longest they’ve been in a decade. Doctors and nurses are battling against a surge in Covid-19 infections and winter illnesses in an attempt to keep up with demand. There are concerns that people could die while they wait to receive treatment. So why is the Government refusing to call this a health crisis? And what can be done to ensure that our doctors and nurses aren’t burnt out on the job? Damien talks to Dr Samantha Murton, President of The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners, on the pressure weighing on our medical staff.
