Evil).<br /><br />Who is it who 'always' ends up 'representing' trade/profession/student bodies?It sure as hell isn't the 'best and brightest' but the professional (always leftie) SIF/grievance-monger/marxist types. Further, they then go on to guarantee that, useless as they were, they 'never' actually 'do' the job they were hired for, having to spend so much time working (in a nice air-conditioned office), travelling (to exotic locations and five star hotels) and paying themselves extremely large wages out of the (forced) contributions of those they profess to represent (but often despise and use to further their own political/ideological beliefs/aims). Because, let's be honest here, nobody with even the slightest ability, knowledge, skill or interest in their profession really wants to spend their career doing none of it, so 'only' the blowhards who only went into the profession as a way of getting some power over it ever end up 'representing' it – period. <br /><br />So (good old) Deena feels safe following her natural leftie inclinations and the party line because it's almost guaranteed 'she' will 'never' be the nurse wiping vomitus/blood/organs off her shoes and wondering, being 'tied up' in a nice meeting somewhere safe instead.<br /><br />(I, in a career of twenty years here in the UK, have worked in only one hospital where in a major incident/mass casualty situation we A&E staff were able to 'require' senior staff/reps to attend and aid. Guess which hospital was the only one where we had sufficient staff, equipment, support and protocols in effect? Oh, and for the record all of them were so out of touch/date the best they could do was basic obs/fetch-and-carry/get-in-the-way).Ablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18109723804885979128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-15850212081411399672014-10-14T07:45:24.544-07:002014-10-14T07:45:24.544-07:00Thanks for the continuing info.

I heard today (not confirmed) that Presby ER closed it's doors, not because of decontamination needs, but because they couldn't staff it as too many called in/refused.

The idea that we would blame the victim of big systemic problems is just wrong. The nurse in Dallas was wearing "PPE Light" which is inadequate for this deadly, virulent, disease. We need to figure out all the gaps in hospitals, and plug them, pronto.<br /><br />http://prosperouswaydown.com/4s-surge-capacity/<br /><br />http://prosperouswaydown.com/death-grip-worldview/Iaatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519168404846962768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-149484260557687982014-10-14T04:39:02.687-07:002014-10-14T04:39:02.687-07:00Yeah, we have a problem.

While the first instinct of health professionals is to help people in need of treatment, even at some risk to their health and family life, dying a horrible death and possibly being the instrument of infecting family and friends with the same is just not part of the bargain. This is particularly true when the government is lying to EVERYONE about the risks, and their own hospital or employer is clueless, doesn't care and doesn't have the right equipment or procedures. Lots of these folks will either call in sick or quit, and who could blame them. Which begs the question of how this can possibly be managed/dealt with ifhalf or more of your people run away?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
