Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua ora tētahi tangata i te mate kino o te whekau i muri i te whakatōpūtanga o te whekau, me ngā whekau i homai e tana tamahine. E toru nga kohatu i ngaro i a Len Barnes i a ia e whawhai ana ki te mate whakamate i te Clostridium difficile, e mamae ana i nga mate o te mate rewharewha. Kua ngaro i a ia tana hiahia kai, ā, ka mamae tonu ia. Ahakoa te maha o ngā rongoā paturopi i ngā wā roa i roto i te hōhipera, kāore te 75-tau te pakeke i te whakaatu tohu o te pai ake. I reira i whakaaro ai nga tohunga kia whakanohoia he urunga. Ko Len Barnes, 57, no Stockton, kua ora i te mate kino o te kopu Clostridium difficile i muri i te whakatipuranga o te paru. Ko tana tamahine, ko Debbie, i te taha maui, i mahi hei kaiwhiwhi. 'Kare ahau i rongo i te reira i mua,' ka mea a Mr Barnes. I whakaaro ahau, "e haere mai ana, kei te tango koe i te mickey". 'Engari i whakamārama mai taku tākuta, mā te whakaranu i te poaka hauora ki taku poaka - ā, ka whakahokia ki roto i taku puku i whakaranua ki te wai mahana - ka whai wāhi ai ngā huakita hauora o tētahi atu ki te whawhai ki aku huakita kino. A, i te wā i whakaarahia ai e te tohunga whākōkī, e Chris Wells, te take o te kimi i tētahi kaiwhakawhiwhi e tika ana, ka uru mai a Debbie, te tamahine a Mr Barnes. I whakamātauria ngā kōhao o te wahine 52-tau te pakeke, kia mōhio ai he pai, he kore huakita kino. Ko Mr Barnes, no Stockton, i whakauruhia ki te Whare Hauora o Te Tai Tokerau. Ko te whāinga o te tukanga ko te whakawātea i ngā huakita i roto i te kopu, mā te whakauru atu i ngā huakita mai i ngā kōhao o ngā tāngata hauora. I te wa i whakaaetia ai ngā kōhao a Ms. Barnes, ka whakaranua ki te wai, ka tātarihia. Kātahi ka whakanohoia te rongoā ki roto i te kopu o Mr Barnes mā te endoscope - he ngongo roa, angiangi, ngohengohe, he puna marama, he kāmera ataata i tētahi pito. 'I whai ahau i te iti o te rongoā, engari i kite ahau i te mea katoa e tupu ana i runga i te mata i roto i te waahanga endoscopy,' e ai ki a ia. I mahia e te Kairangahau Gastroenterologist a Dr Chris Wells te tukanga i te Whare Hauora o Te Tai Tokerau. 'He mea whakamīharo ahau. I mōhio tonu ahau kua whai hua. 'I te aonga ake ka mea a Tākuta Wells ka taea e au te hoki ki te kāinga, ā, kua hoki katoa ki te āhua noa.' Ka mea a Dr. Wells: 'Kāore te whakatipuranga o te whākōkī i te tino ahuareka...
