Did you use your best crayons on it ?
Once you have a hospital system designed by managers to ration healthcare you will have alll these issues.
An example is They wonât pay a bean for any preventative stuff which ends up costing a fortune when health invariably suffers.
Anybody in hospital or with family in hospital , according to a pal of mine who is one of the countryâs leading medical neg lawyer, needs to Park their normal personality at the door and be hyper assertive. Ask questions and be a pain the face. He said half of his clients knew something was wrong but thought âthey must know what they are doingâ. Horrific and life changing/ending outcomes when things go wrong.

They had a thing in the US I read about. Lessons from airline industry for medicine sort of in that things were made a process. System of checks.
Anyway it was six interventions that would save lives. Simple stuff but they made it a process.
progress in improving patient outcomes. For example, 65 hospitals reported going a year or more without a ventilator-associated pneumonia, and 35 reported going a year or more without a central line-associated bloodstream infection in at least one of their ICUs. States have also accomplished a great deal; Rhode Island hospitals active in the Campaign reported a 42% decrease in central-line associated bloodstream infections from 2006 to 2007, and New Jersey saw a 70% reduction in pressure ulcers through the work of 15
Same idea. Matthew Syed wrote the book. The airlineindustry seeks to learn from errors, the medical industry buries itâs mistakes. Pilots have a vested interest in not being killed.

Try telling that to the Irish medical profession and the State Claims Agency.
Agreed. A friend was on a complaints committee for the regulator for one of the health professions. She reckoned 90% of the complaints would have been nipped in the bud by good manners
This is it. Many nurses and medical professionals would tell you the same.
Thankfully my auld wan kinda fills that roll instinctively, but i see and hear many others and stories where people were just too soft.
My mother also chose our GP and specialists very well and could see thru the bull shitters.
When my auld lad got hurt initially, at 21ish, she was told he would be lucky to make 50. How true that is very hard to know, but she certainly has hand a huge hand in keeping him at least the extra 21-22 years so far.

Far from it, Iâm considered a leader in my field. He doesnât have the vision, strategic understanding and downright balls that I do.
