We're all living much longer, aren't we? At what cost? That's my question for you this morning.

A report out over the weekend found human life expectancy has just about peaked globally.

It's lights out. Goodbye.  

New Zealand men, you'll make 80, women, you'll make 83, which is great, longer life. Everyone wants one right now.

We're told that we also have a health system in crisis.

People waiting in waiting rooms, they can't afford to see a GP. Over the weekend, I read about a family man, a carpenter from Westport who was sent home, hours later he was dead.

In Rotorua a month ago, remember a man died in the waiting room at the emergency department while waiting.

So we don't have enough resources for health or we're not optimising the resources that we do have to meet the needs and we're being overwhelmed by them.

We have a huge aging population, the number of people 65 and over which was around 700,000 a few years back, that will quadruple by mid-2024. The number of people 90 over 31,000 that will quadruple in 20 years.

So, we'll have 125,000 90 plus year olds in New Zealand.

Now, if you're a doctor, you've got two people, both as sick as each other, one's 40 one's 90. One might die if you treat the other first.

What do you do? Serious question?

I mean, to me, the obvious answer is one person has had 90 years on this planet.

You treat the young one first, don't you, because the older ones had more life to live.

Am I saying let's stop treating patients based on need and discriminate against the elderly? No, because I love my grandmother.

We have to do it on who's sickest, who's closer to death, all that sort of stuff. But I am curious, for those who work in healthcare, is there a touch of bias on who you might treat first?

I know you've got the Hippocratic Oath, et cetera, but if you're presented with a situation like that, how do you respond to it?

King Charles III is bringing two doctors and a supply of his blood on his tour of Australia and Samoa starting later this week. 

The King has been dealing with cancer since February. 

It will be his first visit to Australia as King - New Zealand was believed to be dropped from the itinerary on medical advice. 

UK correspondent Gavin Grey told Ryan Bridge the King is taking a pause on his chemotherapy treatment during the trip.

“We believe that there are no evening engagements, he has days off during his tour which is more than a week.”

Grey says the King was gutted not to also visit New Zealand, but his clinicians thought it was a bridge too far.

Statistics show there's been more gun crime in Auckland this year than the last. 

RNZ reports there were 879 gun crime offences across Auckland in the first six months of the year - 28 more than the same time last year. 

Just 18 of those were committed by people with a firearms licence. 

Ministerial Advisory Group for Victims of Retail Crime Chair Sunny Kaushal told Ryan Bridge New Zealand is fast becoming a violent society.

“It’s crucial that the decisions around firearms policy are shared by those who deal with the gun violence directly. That’s the Police and affected communities, not just policymakers in Wellington.”
