   I was supposed to have a serious surgery on 16th of January after being on IV antibiotics plus oral for about a month, classed as high priority high levels of pain unable to get around nor do the simplest things by myself. Hospital politics have turned around and put my high priority surgery off till 20th February. This us due to a serious infection in a new joint which has affected the whole body. So quality of life is non existent,,,,, all bloody politics and we all know my body will not make it to that date...... seriously bloody useless hospital...

   My mums been in the hospital for 5 days with a kidney infection so me and my dad had to visit during very early hours and stay till late hours but my experience was fun here. Long nights and lots of rushing around though. We had to spend 3 hours icing her head on Tuesday but I had the fun job—dipping the flannels into the ice cold water and passing them to my dad, I even had a cool routine for it. In the end, my mum survived after three ward moves, 5 long days, and at least 30 visits. And I got to befriend the pigeons on the roof, I got to pat them, I fed them my mums bread from her sandwiches. It was very awesome. Also, don't give birds chocolate. It's toxic. I found that out the hard way. Sorry Wilson.

   Just reaching out to extend warm appreciation and gratitude to the Palmerston North Ambulance Paramedics,Nurses and Doctors,Orderlies of A&E, Observation ward and Surgical Ward for all your caring and evaluation, analysis, procedural treatment, pertaining to the days I spent under your care!. And even though did not have the appetite to enjoy fully, the ,Food Catering Department presented such beautiful nutritious appealing meals. You all made me feel I was in good hands which is very reassuring when you are feeling under the weather and not functioning quite as normal!. Anyone who needs medical care from such a caring team at Palmerston North Hospital can feel rest assured they not only care for you, but from my personal experience go over and beyond to get to the root cause of your problem to get you back on the road to recovery!. Good health and the very best to you all

   Palmy hospital is a medical facility that is being pushed beyond its budget and staff that are asked to do more for less. Mental health facilities given a new flashy building but no more staff to help the increasing mental health burden. The local district would rather spend money on rebranding the facilities than helping people and burnt out staff. Get a new carpark built that will work with the nearby rescue helicopter service and make sure the singaporian owned company actually does something about vehicle breakins and theft. Engage local medical centers to stay open later and guide people to go see them instead of blowing out the wait times at ER/ED. Granted yes, half the issue is people themselves but not being able to afford medical care is becoming a problem and its not getting any better.

   Belated thank you to the wonderful staff for their care of my father throughout the past year. Everyone from ED and ward reception to nurses to doctors has been friendly and attentive. Only exception was the dermatology nurse who volunteered the cost of a procedure with the implication that treating a person of his age was a waste of money. I should have reported her.

   25/06/23 some time after midnight I was having self-harm and other thoughts in my mind very strongly so I decided to walk to the Hospital. I stood at the counter for 8-10 mins and the big woman with dark hair looked at me twice then ignored me completely. She was ignoring another lady too, who looked quite frantic. I needed help . . . . I didn't get any. I left crying my eyes out not knowing what to do, but as I survived the night I called my best friend the next day. She was more helpful. Not the first time this happened. Please hire professionals who care.

   I was forced (by mental health) to stay in the waiting room overnight for 10+ hours. I was incredibly sore, incredibly tired & they denied me having meds. This hospital is potentially the worst in the country. I've had other instances of neglect under their system too. The one star that I had to put can go to my psychologist who's actually amazing. Not like the rest of the hospital.
