I moved here from the UK 20 years ago and the thing that struck me most about NZ is what great care and importance you placed on children unlike the UK. Its sad but the country needs to take a look in the mirror to see where it has descended too.DavidChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03388171594146015071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686354713190138224.post-82778738913194836772009-04-02T16:43:00.000+13:002009-04-02T16:43:00.000+13:00Dont blame the jounros, Blame the subbies who writ...Dont blame the jounros, Blame the subbies who write headlines after reading the first paragraph only...

Howeve...An assault on a child is never acceptable. However, it comes as no surprise that St John may have stuffed up in not calling a helicopter early enough. They do it all the time and there have been some horrendous stuff ups in care of sick people because of their attitude toward rescue helicopters. I know of one case where a highly qualifed DOCTOR called for a helicopter because of the nature of the injuries suffered in an accident in a rural location, only to be over ruled by St John because one of THEIR paramedics hadn't got there yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686354713190138224.post-6681533347113023522009-04-02T09:19:00.000+13:002009-04-02T09:19:00.000+13:00Amen to that BB!Amen to that BB!Inventory2http://www.blogger.com/profile/13635959917715078192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686354713190138224.post-73092402413930492312009-04-02T08:08:00.000+13:002009-04-02T08:08:00.000+13:00Take pity on the poor journos.
