FRUSTRATED PATIENT
hello neighbours, um im having this bad experience with my G.P, im a patient with the Hutt City Health Care in Lower, has you all know im on ACC since 29th of july of this year, has i needed a new Medical Certificate, from the 8th of this month till the 5th of February next year, because thats when i go and see my ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON DR ROY GRAIG at Boulcott Hospital, so last week i booked an appointment to see a G.P for a new Medical Certificate has I needed for ACC, it cost me $43 a visit to the G.P for 15 minutes, yesterday was my appoinment, how ever my old G.P has left, so they appointed me a new G.P, her name is DR ANNE, i dont know her last name, she came out called my name and walked through to her office, her phone rang and said she has to take this call, so i walk in and waited for her, she walked in and said......what do you want?...i said i needed a Medical Certificate for ACC..... she interrupted me and said....no no no what do you want?.... so i explained to her that my shoulder is sore and plus i needed (M.C.) for ACC, She was so RUDE and talking down to me, i was so frustrated, she was repeating every word i was saying, like a little kid getting smart to each other, i said to her....your should read the note before you came out and get me, and act your age and be professional, yes she was saying it back to me what i just said to her.... unprofessional on her behalf and she should be ashame of her self, i had enough and said i want to see the manager and make a complaint, saw the manager made my complaint and asked to see another G.P for a (M.C.) i rang back today to talk to the manager, and the receptionist said shes on the phone and she will call me back A.S.A.P. that was @ 9:45 this morning, its been 3 hours now ...... has anyone know the local M.P's number or who i can take this complaint too? soooo frustrated, i think this kind of behaviors need to be brought to light, how many out there have experienced what i have?
🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
