As I pointed out publicly after and privately before the Health Accord started, it was nonsense to put the people who created the ungodly mess of our health system in charge of fixing the mess the made, starting with Pat and Liz.
And as predicted they delivered the very much bigger mess we have. Larger bureaucracy, astronomically greater cost and zero improvement in health care access or delivery, with politicians just pouring money into things to make people happy because they have no idea what to do and no political will to do anything that might require thought and be controversial.
The CB hospital is just one of far too many examples of blind incompetence, bungling, and corruption.
The mass resignation of internal medicine specialists at St. Clare's today will not be solved easily, despite Parfrey's glib claims.
Oh my, oh my, oh my, ........for F**ks sake, making me swear (a word I never used before 2 years ago), I read this at almost noon, and no one commented yet! The arse is gone right out of her.
This seems about as bad as the scandals in the days of Sir Richard Squires, yet few seem to care. Some should be handcuffed, charged and then released on high bond while trails are scheduled. Or am I over reacting?
Parfrey, didn't know the difference between an MRI and a CT scan a decade ago, or deliberately misled the public on CBC TV. The plan seemed to be to take away a GPs ability to order a MRI and only a specialist could order it.......because of shortage of MRI machines here. He said MRIs have a lot of radiation, when CTs actually have a lot of radiation, so a danger to proper health care in some cases. Now he heads up Health Care here, and seems fit for a long term, or personal care home , to experience the neglect there, from poor oversight.
In 2018, HSC hospital had no bed pans at ER, so they used a cardboard liner, which collapsed and pee when everywhere.........in the biggest hospital in Nfld. This did not happen in Nain, but our capital city.
For monitor Blood Pressure over 24 hrs for outpatients, a small low cost device, they had only about 3 in the city, and had to share these between several hospitals here in St Johns!
They are 20 years behind in screening for lung cancer, a well proven procedure, very low radiation, and should be in place the same as breast or colon cancer screening.
For Blood pressure remote monitoring, they send out a cheap 80 dollar monitor, not even certified to standards cited in their literature. They refuse to send someone to set it up to enable the to transmit the data to their office.
A few years ago, cardiac people, at ER, gave up routine testing for seniors who have issues with blood pressure dropping when standing, which is a risk for fall and broken hips.
I could go on, but those in charge are obvious just dumb and dumber, crisis now turned to corruption.
No one has commented yet but they are reading it and sharing it in large numbers.
Next week, I have what amounts to the start of a series, which comes on Monday. wednesday, I have some new energy information and next Friday in all likelihood, I'll be coming back with more on the health scandal and why the politicians are covering it up/not fixing it.
We’re getting the results the system is set up to achieve (J Edwards Deming).
Consider the gong show at the new Corner Brook hospital- had to reopen up part of the old hospital.
It doesn’t matter how much money is thrown at the health care system. The parade of clowns running the place would f#%k up an anvil.
