On the one hand we should hold people to a high standard. On the other hand we kill some very good initiative which would benefit us.<br /> I am most fortunate to be healthy and have a good quality of life.<br /> I notice your comment hit me at 2:26 Am? Now accounting for time difference ...you're either an early riser or a night owl which means your in pretty good shape to do those hours!!!LOLRedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-75282304648297639872011-03-05T09:53:09.163-07:002011-03-05T09:53:09.163-07:00I hear you about the abuse of power by the old Doc...I hear you about the abuse of power by the old Docs. In some cases it was outright abusive to staff.<br /> Good point about Govt. changing the rules. It all boils down to money. Since the govt. pays they have a responsibility to ensure that the money is spent wisely. They installed bean counters who don't know anything about health delivery.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-67408855907990276762011-03-05T07:29:52.224-07:002011-03-05T07:29:52.224-07:00I've been on both sides of that fence.

Many of them think they are mini gods and they make life miserable for the nurses and staff with all their orders, but patient care is indeed much better when doctors manage their own cases. <br />Government getting involved with its rules complicates everything.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858158707328118375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-80709502210292422752011-03-05T03:57:55.141-07:002011-03-05T03:57:55.141-07:00I think this means you are in good health, Red.

However, with all this stuff I don't think the Docs actually think. So much is automatic that it's hard for them to keep their heads in the game.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-31162504711273319852011-03-04T20:12:20.094-07:002011-03-04T20:12:20.094-07:00It's amazing how health care has changed over ...It's amazing how health care has changed over the years. I remember when you could actually plan your own date to go in to the hospital for whatever tweaking the body needed.....no more but there are quite a few things that I think they do much better too.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07183448760614051130noreply@blogger.com
