Bleeding Lung Issue

Matt from Henderson

To Neighbourly, just wondering why our Ambulance does NOT think someone with internal bleeding, is NOT an emergency. I rang them to come to our house and take to me to the hospital and check my chest
x-rayed to see what damage or is causing the internal bleeding.
Everywhere I go I have been smelling people's cigarette smoke, which is sick, and have got many cause of why my lungs aren't working properly..
They came over and I explained about my older brother's issues and the stress this is causing from our family today.
I am wondering why BLEEDING INTERNAL from the LUNGS is NOT an emergency today???? It is like time bomb that has gone off in your chest, but you are still alive, breathing and walking today.

Please reply for anyone who wants to comment about this.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
