The nurses are amazing but the receptionist is the most rude person I have ever met, got diagnosed with pneumonia I had severe chest pain and could barely walk and sweating with a high fever, came in an ambulance because I collapsed and couldn't get up or breathe, filled me full of morphine and antibiotics etc and told me i have to go home because there wasn't enough room for me I couldn't find any to pick me up because it was nearly midnight so i had to catch a taxi home with no painkillers because it was nearly midnight and emergency pharmacy closed spent all night in severe pain and trouble breathing( I have asthma aswell) until someone could pick up my prescription the next day, i am not blaming the staff but the health system in NZ is shocking.
