Have You Been Awake During Surgery And Seen Medical Professionals Using Their Smart Phones? - Reply

Matt from Henderson

I wanted to make a reply to this post that was taken down. Well here is the title that is in the subject line anyways.

I want to say if that was me in a hospital while I was being operated on while being awake, I would find myself very shocked and disgusted. Who is the more important person that needs dealing with? The patient or the smart phone? I don't know what the exact post was on that got taken off just recently about this topic but it is good for everyone to be aware in case any of us face the same thing or to any other family.

If anyone did find that the other post got taken off, you can feel free to post the same comments on this post if you want to.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
