Monthly scripts

Carolyn from Rangiora

How many others are concerned about the new ruling from the government about scripts for opioids needing to be written monthly now. This includes many drugs including codeine, and paracode (Panadeine}, I know these drugs can be abused by many but I have two concerns. Having to see the Dr every … View moreHow many others are concerned about the new ruling from the government about scripts for opioids needing to be written monthly now. This includes many drugs including codeine, and paracode (Panadeine}, I know these drugs can be abused by many but I have two concerns. Having to see the Dr every month incurs additional cost and for some is prohibitive - will they simply suffer in pain as they cant afford the cost? Secondly it is near impossible to get an appointment with a GP in a timely manner - how much more pressure will these extra visits create for an already over stretched system? What do others think?

‘The Maverick’ Russell loves a challenge

Diana Isaac Retirement Village

At 96, Logan Campbell resident Russell Parrish has achieved an incredible feat - ‘knocking off’ the summit of One Tree Hill 30 times over 30 consecutive days. Plus, it was all for a great cause — raising money and awareness for Alzheimer’s in honor of his late wife Mary.

Every single day of September, come rain, shine or blustering gale, Russell set off from his home at Ryman Healthcare’s Greenlane village to walk to the top of the iconic mountain set in the heart of Cornwall Park.

The idea also coincided with Ryman Healthcare’s annual Walking for Wellness challenge, which this year aptly had an Everest theme.

Watch Russell's full story.

Things have changed a lot in my life: I realised I was the problem and I stopped blaming others.
Living in addiction, I used to see things as very black and white. I had set opinions about things and about who was right and who was wrong. Back when I was trying to fix myself and doing a lot of personal growth courses, I spoke with my husband and asked him, what my defects of character were. He said, “You think you are always right.”
