Former All Whites goalkeeper Jake Gleeson says he contemplated taking his life after prolonged surgeries turned into a battle for survival and forced his early retirement. In August 2018, while contracted to the Portland Timbers in the United States, Gleeson had surgery to treat stress fractures in both legs. It should have been a routine procedure, but he developed osteomyelitis from an infection. What followed was not only a physical struggle but an emotional descent that would push him to the brink. Fourteen surgeries later, and nearly five years after Gleeson began legal action, a jury found doctor Richard Edelson guilty of medical negligence for failing to properly disinfect the plates inserted into Gleeson's legs before the initial operation. Gleeson, now 34, was awarded US$20.4 million (NZ$35.7m) in damages. What was meant to be a three-month stint on the sidelines turned into a nightmare of medical complications and forced Gleeson to retire, having made 59 appearances for the Timbers and winning eight caps for the All Whites between 2011 and 2014. The fallout has been brutal for Gleeson, who struggles to complete mundane tasks such as exercising. The mental toll has been equally devastating. Speaking to Newstalk ZB's Jason Pine on Weekend Sport, Gleeson says he reached a point where he considered taking his life. “I'd been prescribed so many opioids, like painkillers and anti-anxiety medication, I filled this pill jar up with enough pills that I know that if I took it all at once it would kill me. “I drove out a few times to different places around Portland with that. I had that around me for ... a few months and there were some close calls where I thought that that was going to be the day. “There were points I just didn't want to live any more. Simple as that. “But I never went through with it, which I'm happy about. The last few years have been a slow climb out of a very deep, dark hole.” After his initial surgery, things appeared normal but, after two weeks, an infection on his right leg appeared. Antibiotics initially worked, but the infection worsened and he needed a second operation. At this point, pus was coming out of the wound and Gleeson was given a PICC line - a type of catheter - that was pumping antibiotics from his leg to an artery near the heart. It was a further two weeks before the plate in his right leg came out. Days later, problems began in his left leg. Portland Timbers goalkeeper Jake Gleeson shows his disappointment after the the 4-1 loss against Real Salt Lake in 2017. Photo / Getty Images “I saw that same redness, same warmth, same everything that was a sign of infection, and they pulled that plate out straight away. “Because I developed osteomyelitis in my right leg, essentially the infection had travelled through my blood and settled on the foreign hardware on my left leg. “If they had just removed the plate on the first surgery, or even checked the underside of it to know that that's where the infection was, we could have avoided a lot more of the surgeries that I went through.” Gleeson had another appointment with Edelson, who was pleased with the recovery of the left leg, but problems were still occurring with the right. Despite raising concerns, Gleeson was told “it's just bad blood flow, the wound will heal and you're fine”. An angry Gleeson consulted another team doctor and was immediately rushed to hospital, where he had three surgeries in five days to clear the osteomyelitis and dead bone. “They had to go in and chunk out parts of my bone and there was dead tissue in there,” he recalls. “My body had gone septic and I had a 40-degree temperature, cuddling a bag of ice on my couch with all this medicine still coursing through me every week.” It was at this point that he found out Edelson had not properly sanitised an orthopaedic plate, after realising he was missing one and bringing one in from an outside facility during the surgery. As Gleeson improved after working with a new doctor, he opted to have metal rods inserted into both legs in February 2019 in an effort to save his career. He had four more operations but the rod in his right leg became immediately infected. Three weeks later, doctors said the rods had to come out. In July 2020, Gleeson formally began legal action. Finally, on March 29, a Multnomah County jury in Portland agreed that Edelson had violated his duty of care and awarded NZ$35.7m to Gleeson. “This is the first step and, once again, a very long path,” says Gleeson. “I don't think it's sunk in yet. I'm very tired still. “The money is a bonus once we figure out what it all looks like, because I'm not currently sitting with a huge cheque in my account. “Once it settles and is confirmed, I've already started conversations with some local groups around here to highlight this, and I want to kind of utilise it also to bring attention to mental health, especially for athletes. “I would like to go somewhere nice with my fiancée and throw my phone in a lockbox somewhere and take a week to take some deep breaths and start to put this all behind us as we move forward with our lives.” He says the Timbers club was poorly managed at the time and “swept me under the rug”. The figures involved have since gone and he is excited about attending his first Timbers match since the ordeal later this month. He says he would do anything to be able to step onto the pitch one last time, but is looking forward to be involved again in the sport he loves, having initially walked away from it. He is also looking forward to seeing the All Whites in action at next year's World Cup, which is being co-hosted by the USA, Canada and Mexico. “I couldn't be more excited for the All Whites and the boys on the team that I know and all the young guns coming through. “They're an impressive bunch, so I'll be there supporting them for sure. Hopefully they can cause some upsets.” SUICIDE AND DEPRESSION Where to get help:• Lifeline: Call 0800 543 354 or text 4357 (HELP) (available 24/7)• Suicide Crisis Helpline: Call 0508 828 865 (0508 TAUTOKO) (available 24/7)• Youth services: (06) 3555 906• Youthline: Call 0800 376 633 or text 234• What's Up: Call 0800 942 8787 (11am to 11pm) or webchat (11am to 10.30pm)• Depression helpline: Call 0800 111 757 or text 4202 (available 24/7)• Helpline: Need to talk?

In the 19 years I have been a crime and justice reporter I have told countless stories about offending in New Zealand - who is behind it, who is hurt by it and the lasting impact. I’ve covered a lot of the really high-profile cases during that time - including more than 130 murders, and dozens upon dozens of prosecutions and trials for manslaughter, sexual assaults and abuse, domestic violence and child abuse. I’ve also written a lot about our country's most enduring cold cases and best-known historic crimes. In today’s episode of A Moment In Crime I wanted to take you back through some of the other cases I have written about. These cases may not have dominated the headlines for as long or as widely as others - but they are cases I think about often and they are all important cases on New Zealand’s crime timeline. Some of the stories I will tell you in this episode are graphic, and others refer to sexual violence and or child abuse. This episode is intended for a mature audience.

This is the second in a two-part episode.  In 2023 South African doctor Lauren Anne Dickason was found guilty of murdering her daughters Liane, 6, and 2-year-old twins Maya and Karla at their Timaru home. She and her husband Graham - an ortopaedic surgeon - had emigrated to New Zealand just weeks earlier seeking a better, safer life for their young children.  Dickason killed the little girls 20 minutes after her husband left for a work function. He found the siblings dead in their beds when he arrived home.  Dickason admitted smothering the children but claimed she was so mentally unwell she could not be held criminally responsible for their deaths. After an exhaustive five-week trial last year, a jury rejected her defence of insanity or infanticide and convicted the woman of murder. In this episode of A Moment In Crime senior journalist Anna Leask looks back at the murders and the aftermath. Leask covered the story from the day the girls died, attending every day of Dickasons high profile trial and her later sentencing.  The Dickason Family Tragedy is told in two parts. In part one Leask explained the family's background and what brought them to New Zealand, as well as what happened that awful day in 2021.  In this episode Leask focuses on Dickason's trial - what the jury heard, the verdict, sentencing and what it was like inside the courtroom at pivotal moments.  The double episode contains descriptions of the Dickason children's deaths and also refer to mental health, self harm, pregnancy loss and fertility issues. Both parts of A Moment In Crime - The Dickason Family Tragedy are intended for mature audiences.

In this episode Jamie shares his story about what really happened, he talks about the unique culture of resilience and camaraderie within the NZSAS, and the subsequent alienation this can create when soldiers return to civilian life. We hear of touring with Willie Apiata and what happened the day Willie won his Vic Cross, the brutal reality of SAS selection and some of the most eye raising stories from war zones. But this ep is so much more than ‘war stories': in the second half Jamie reflects on what hes seen in men's mental health, grief, and the struggles of reconnecting with his family.  Jamie is now an advocate for rewiring the neural pathways to overcome negative thought patterns. After leaving the Defence Force, he gained his master's in International Security, and trained high performance athletes to reach their goals and He now teaches Learning in the Outdoors to students at Dilworth School.

In 2023 South African doctor Lauren Anne Dickason was found guilty of murdering her daughters Liane, 6, and 2-year-old twins Maya and Karla at their Timaru home. She and her husband Graham - an ortopaedic surgeon - had emigrated to New Zealand just weeks earlier seeking a better, safer life for their young children.  Dickason killed the little girls 20 minutes after her husband left for a work function. He found the siblings dead in their beds when he arrived home.  Dickason admitted smothering the children but claimed she was so mentally unwell she could not be held criminally responsible for their deaths. After an exhaustive five-week trial last year, a jury rejected her defence of insanity or infanticide and convicted the woman of murder. In this episode of A Moment In Crime senior journalist Anna Leask looks back at the murders and the aftermath. Leask covered the story from the day the girls died, attending every day of Dickasons high profile trial and her later sentencing.  The Dickason Family Tragedy is told in two parts. In part one Leask goes into the family's background and what brought them to New Zealand, as well as what happened that awful day in 2021.  Part two will focus on Dickason's trial, sentencing and what it was like inside the courtroom at pivotal moments. It will be release a week after part one.  The double episode contains descriptions of the Dickason children's deaths and also refer to mental health, self harm, pregnancy loss and fertility issues. Both parts of A Moment In Crime - The Dickason Family Tragedy are intended for mature audiences.

WARNING: This episode contains mentions of eating disorders. A list of resources is available at the bottom of the description if you or someone you know needs help Rosa and Margo Flanagan have both dealt with their own struggles with disordered eating and have had to work together to create a healthy relationship with food. With the goal of making healthy food easy and delicious, the sisters created Two Raw Sisters to share their vege-first mentality when it comes to cooking and create yummy recipes that anyone can cook with whatever they have in their kitchen. In this episode Toni, Rosa and Margo discuss how food used to make them feel sad, guilty and frustrated, how they used their competitive relationship to improve their eating habits, and how they use Two Raw Sisters to simplify the complicated subject of eating healthy.

Meet Jane, a mum in her forties who is battling with the demons of her past. For decades she's buried what happened to her when she was a teenager but in recent years has come to realise she is not to blame for the connection she had with Dan, her adult youth group leader during her teen years.
