Shockwaves felt in Dunedin Hospital after bombshell announcement

Regular leaks in Dunedin Hospital’s operating theatres are bad enough, but the surprising ones can be downright dangerous.
“We’ve got our own set of buckets in a cupboard somewhere for when it rains,” says Dr Claire Ireland, a consultant anaesthetist in Dunedin for 10 years, and the hospital’s clinical director of anaesthesia. “We have to carry on and drive the patients in their beds past all of the clutter and the dripping buckets to get to the recovery area. It usually always happens in a similar spot.”
