Masterton man wins ACC case
A young Masterton welder’s health nightmare is nearly over with the swipe of a bureaucrat’s pen.
Last week Aiden Sayer, 21, who was almost killed in a workplace accident earlier this year, was languishing on a public waiting list for a bladder stone procedure that ACC should have covered.
His urologist argued that the bladder stone was caused by having to endure a catheter for a month following his February accident. ACC said no, but after persistent lobbying and a story on Stuff last week, the corporation has changed its mind.
Following ACC acceptance, his urologist has quickly arranged for a procedure to be carried out in a private medical facility next Tuesday.
“I’ll be able to do more hours of work ... I’ll be able to work on my car, be able to go out with friends, return to a normal life. I couldn’t do that before because of my stone,” Sayer said.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
