A bit of a mixed bag today Palmy. I haven’t had to do much running around for the last Forty-Eight hours as a lot of you whom have been requesting my help have found other avenues of support as well.

I haven’t had to do much running around for the last Forty-Eight hours as a lot of you whom have been requesting my help have found other avenues of support as well. I wanted to say this publicly as I feel that's an accomplishment you can be proud of! Just keep in mind I’m still around if you need me though, it is not a problem.
A bit of info to keep in mind, There was a person Vaping in the queue and being completely oblivious of his (smoke?) getting caught in the wind and engulfing an elderly lady behind him. Not a crime, but I’d ask that you check (if you are vaping or smoking) that it isn’t swamping someone else. I believe she spoke with him about it as after they chatted, he stopped vaping for a while. Again just something I ask we keep in mind, looking out for one another. Good on them for stopping by the way.
Something I saw as a big problem is that while in the same queue I saw some very, shall we say uppity people who were extremely inconsiderate. A person with a badge, I don’t know from what industry walked passed the queue and waited at the front of the store to get in as soon as possible. As she walked passed with a card on a lanyard dangling from her neck, the lady ahead of me called her a “Stupid expletive” rather loudly, the two guys ahead of her proceeded to swear as well and make jokes at the queue jumper's expense. I’m not one to tell others off but it was seriously uncalled for and I stepped in, the short of it is, I spoke up and got the lady in front of me on my case for my troubles... for the rest of our time together in the queue. Not so much from the other two luckily.
I don’t think I need to remind people that the rules regarding essential workers with an ID are there for a reason. If you have an ID that qualifies for priority queue jumping, please don’t feel bad about it. I’m happy to step aside. I’ll trust you haven’t the time to wait in the queue. That goes double for those with mobile difficulties. You go right ahead of the queue; most stores have priority queuing rules to let you in as soon as possible. I think it is an obligation that they have to let you in if you ask and you shouldn't feel any shame or guilt.
And if anyone feels the need to comment on someone using these legitimate reasons to get ahead in the queue. I humbly ask that you keep it to yourself, nobody needs to hear it. You could well be insulting the person whom in one way or another saves one of your friends, loved ones or even your own life.
This was just really over the top in my opinion. So I had to get it off my chest.
Please be considerate to everyone, no one needs that kind of abuse, especially in such hard times. I know its tough. My patience has been tested here and there as well but that's no excuse for such blatant abuse in my eyes.
Stay Safe Palmy

If you belong to a practice which offers a portal, you can expect an email from THINK Hauora inviting you to register online.
Almost one million New Zealanders already use a patient portal to connect with their General Practice team without coming into the practice. Here are a few services which may be offered through your General Practice portal:
● Request repeat prescriptions
● View laboratory results such as blood tests
● See your current diagnosis, medications and medical conditions
● Send and receive secure messages between you and your General Practice.
If you are offered Patient Portal services – say YES!
Check out how THINK Hauora is helping communities stay connected with their General Practice teams here
