Why do the most vulnerable people have to play Russian Respiratory Roulette when they need healthcare? 🤬 Why are hospitals not safe spaces?
@1goodtern Excellent question. Knowingly exposing people to risk of danger to health & life in hospitals whilst providing care is completely bonkers & ethically appalling. Whatever happened to “do no harm” & the precautionary principle? I’d really like to know the answer…
@1goodtern @roisinmor That, detective, is the right question.
@1goodtern I think hospitals & other healthcare facilities are not safe spaces for two main reasons: 1) Human nature - people will take the "easiest" route in the absence of strict rules & personal consequences telling them to do otherwise. 2) Too many healthcare workers are arrogant.
@1goodtern Indeed. Please ask, day after day, why UKHSA does not request, document or report hospital acquired Covid infection data in England? NHS Wales has a programme to document hospital acquired Covid data. NHS England apparently not. Why?
@1goodtern After some news today I’m starting to believe Govts don’t want them to be safe, hoping to reduce costs by eliminating vulnerable quickly as possible (demographic crunches coming). Reaping as our CMO put it. They don’t get/ignore everyone is more vulnerable after repeat infections
@1goodtern Why don't doctors & nurses understand how airborne diseases are spread? But my biggest question is why don't people realise that pedestrian crossing lights don't change unless you press the button? If they can't even work that out, then there is very little hope for the future.
@1goodtern They never were. They were always teeming with germs, sleep was impossible and diet atrocious.
@1goodtern In the U.S. “too expensive!” is a big driver. Testing, masks, workers to cover the inevitably sick ones — “who is going to pay? We can’t afford it! We are already losing money!”
