American Healthcare In Crisis

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

Doctors make medical mistakes all the time and they are not charged with killing people.  Pharmaceudical drug side effects kill a real lot of people yet the drug makers do not get charged with homicide.  We got a major problem when a nurse is charged with Homicide for making a mistake with a medication....I would quit if I was a nurse when that kind of thing is occurring.  I would bet that very few incidents of this occur compared to doctors writing down the wrong medicine or ignoring the concerns of side effects of medicines the patients are having.  I have had side effects to some meds in the past and the doctors ignored my concerns, so I changed doctors.  The majority of doctors listen to you, but thirty percent blow you off and tell you the side effects will go away....tried that...it is BS, the side effects got worse the longer I was on the meds...and the side effects sometimes were worse than the condition they were treating.

The staff of commerce is the staff of the medical industry in this country...not the staff of medicine which is one snake around a stick.  People can't comprehend that the medical industry is actually telling us by this symbol that it is an industry, not medicine....they must think everyone is dumb or ignorant.

Very well said.

This will drive a lot of doctors and nurses from the field. 

This is a case of pure scapegoating. The message is loud and clear. Big business is God. They are untouchable, and workers are an expendable unnecessary nuisance.

I would not work in a hospital if they paid a million dollars a year. They only set you up to fail, then cast you aside.

I bet you won't be able to sue the companies that provide the technology for HARPA. They are not human after all.
