Let's drop a few names here. Like from
00:00:01
the UFC, you've had Israel, Kikarta,
00:00:04
France. Yeah. A bunch of the UFC boys,
00:00:06
they do recovery training, mental skill
00:00:08
development training during the fight
00:00:09
camps. I don't think that we are a very
00:00:11
well nation of people. You only have to
00:00:13
go to the mall, go look around the mall.
00:00:15
Every second people personally obese for
00:00:17
saying these types of things. I know
00:00:18
that I'll get, you know, I'll get some
00:00:19
backlash, but that's the reality. Let's
00:00:21
just be honest. There is a physical
00:00:23
health crisis and a mental health crisis
00:00:24
in New Zealand. And then everyone's
00:00:26
saying to me, oh, how dare you say it's
00:00:27
a physical health crisis and not give
00:00:29
the respect to the fact that it's a, you
00:00:31
know, mental health crisis. We have one
00:00:33
body. If you are not physically healthy,
00:00:35
it affects you mentally. Being an
00:00:37
intensive care paramedic nowadays is
00:00:39
like taking the recess room from the
00:00:40
hospital out into the prehosp
00:00:41
environment. You have a very broad scope
00:00:43
of practice. I saw things in that job
00:00:45
that no one should have to see.
