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: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
