GO INTO HOSPITAL - IS IT A RISK? WILL YOU COME OUT IF YOU GO IN ?

I think a lot of the fear of hospitals is deeply rooted in the past. At one time the big phobia was Legionnaires Disease now it is MRSA and other such things. The causes are many and varied, to numerous to mention but they have one common factor, people. It is a job where one moment of carelessness can have catastrophic consequences or one deliberate act by someone can kill.

These occurrences are well documented and difficult to plan for, one individual can destroy the most carefully laid plans. I have a preference for a particular hospital and I feel much more secure when I attend there. The only criticism is that there are often more hospital workers than patients (or at least there seems to be) and they all seem to scuff their feet when they walk down corridors carrying the obligatory look at me I'm busy piece of paper in one hand ( Emails are good ) while theirs specs are on a string around their necks.

I believe that SOPHIA LOREN 2 (how old is she ? and who is Sophia Loren?) has suggested the possibility of spin being administered by the government. Any government that plays with this emotive subject will need treatment for badly burned fingers and will deserve a punch on the nose too.

I would like to think that what I have written is the near truth and not the result of some misguided belief that more jobs would stop these things from happening, job creation under these circumstance would be very serious. Generally I trust NHS workers so I don' t think that this would be true.

Generally privately run NHS Trusts are very well run until some idiot puts cash over the needs of patients or is it the other way round and publicly run trusts are at fault ? If a cure for the MRSA bug has been found it will be a good thing until some financial nutter decides it is to expensive to use.
