😔Covid-19 fears cut cancer patient's 30 year GP career short😔
An incredible, heartwarming and heartbreaking, but totally honest life story from the wonderful GP, Liz Fitzmaurice posted on Stuff.

I love the moving and sometimes relatable feelings, thoughts and the real life emotions; but above all, the no-nonsense approach to today's health climate crisis - Covid.
Her calm, but well reasoned approach, is the exact calmness we all seem to have lost in this wild ocean of anger and despair currently happening in this mad Covid world, that we all really need right now. Thank you Liz🥰
My favourite quote from Liz, that is in this article reads:
"When people write of “personal freedom,” it seems to read like they are actually speaking of “personal privilege”.
She is fully in support of vaccine mandates to protect vulnerable people like her.
I wish her well and nothing but good, kind caring people to surround her during her time of need as well as happiness for the rest of her life, all that she deserves (and then some more).
💗💗BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU SO MUCH LIZ FITZMAURICE💗💗
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
39.7% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
58.5% No, I enjoy it

1.8% Other - I'll share below
