Australia's worst hospitals revealed: Shocking errors have led to more than 120 deaths, surgeons operating on the wrong body part and medical equipment being left inside patients
BY Wade Sellers For Daily Mail Australia 22/09/2018 (note the date)

More than 120 patients have died or suffered serious harm due to medical errors.

The deaths were due to medical blunders, administrative errors and under-reporting from hospitals around Victoria in the last two years.

Reports of the errors, which are being made available to the public for the first time, come as agencies strive to improve Victorian health standards, Nine News reported.

The incidents, known as Sentinel events, have begun to be recorded annually and are now a mandatory requirement for all Victorian hospitals.

Collated reports found that Monash Health recorded ten events, Melbourne Health with nine, Eastern Health reported seven and Mercy Hospital had four in the last year.

In one incident, a person died after being administered the wrong dose of medication from nurses, receiving a dose ten times higher than prescribed.

Other deaths have been caused by surgery being carried out on the wrong body part, while in other cases, medical equipment has been left in patients.

Despite the alarming numbers, Mary Wooldridge, the shadow health minister says there could be even more that we don't know about.

'Under-reporting is very significant in our hospitals and more needs to be done to make sure reporting happens quickly,' Ms Wooldridge said.

Philip, please OMG, this is sickening stuff.
I can honestly say, this has to be the MOST significant piece of news or information I have EVER heard on the work standards and ethics of an industry which is reputed to or supposed to be beyond reproach.
Out of all the garbage this country has produced, this has now taken top billing.
We can tolerate sh!tty service, shoddy work, lazy, slack, indifferent work attitudes and ethics, and a myriad of other bad practices, but I for one will not stand by and let this kind of dangerous behaviour go unnoticed.
I will keep up my campaign of denigrating this country and it's people, until I see a very real improvement in performance and attitudes towards work.
My God, hospitals, none the less.
The very people in which we trust the lives of ourselves and our family and friends.
Oh this place has got a lot of soul searching to do, before I will now ever trust it again.
I have always been skeptical, but now I am vindicated, but not in a good way.
I don't want to be right about something so horribly wrong, but like it or not, I have been right all along.

is mise your self confidence in your view is not some thing we share
Not sure government is covering up alleged medical stuff ups, who ever is must be closer to the events described
Coast watchers, a generic term for people who in fact may have been settlers, Ministers or farmers, and had radios usually ham radio, and reported what they saw
Is mise not sure it is worth continuing to talk about any issue with you
You have a combative self assurance that seems unable to see others point of view

Belly,

You said, "And you know, or should America was reading the Japanese cores and Australian coast watchers had warned them"

America was not reading the codes as was also pointed out to you, and your assertion that Australian coast watchers had warned them has no base in fact and you cannot give any references to back that claim.

No one warned the US of the approach of the Japanese ships because, as Mhaze also pointed out, there was no radio traffic by the Japanese, and they kept their ships out of sight of land.

Start being critical in your reading and, please, get Grammarly or similar and you won't write 'cores' when you obviously meant 'codes', the 'd' on a 'qwerty' board is close to the 'r' so it's easy to miss hit, Grammarly will let you know almost instantly and you can correct it.
I use a Dvorak board, you might also find a change to that system useful as it is a more logical layout than 'qwerty'.

is mise I will continue to miss spelling mistakes in my re reading before posting
However Sir unlike your self I will never be a nit picker looking for some thing to complain about
Tell me, the American manning coastal Radar did not report the planes as they passed over
Tell me what action took place after a sub was sunk out side the harbor
It has been your intention to find fault with me, and in truth you are a nit picker of no real substance
Your self confidence is sadly miss placed
