The thread is about governments hiding information and/or data.

While you're story may be shocking its the very opposite of governments hiding data. There's gigantic volumes of data which allowed those you refer to to collate their reports.

Agreed, the situation is bad. But this is government controlled health system. How was it ever not going to be bad. When the aim is not to deliver good health outcomes but to instead deliver results on government targets, the outcomes are inevitably going to be bad.

Welcome to socialised medicine.

Belly,

So are you of the view that FDR and the rest of the Democratic Party hierarchy were so despicable, so morally bereft that they'd allow 2500 US citizens to die undefended just so they could achieve their political aims?

We need to question the funding of our hospitals.
Is it adequate? If not patient care will
suffer. Health costs are soaring
due to trends including a rise in patients
with increasingly complex and chronic diseases
and increased reports of mental health and
family violence problems. Drug and alcohol abuse
are also extremely strong drives towards
increased costs in certain areas - because of the
need to change the service model to respond to it.

Most hospitals have rigid rules in place affecting
the data on patients. Information is gathered
regarding medical histories, the type of procedure
to be done, the place on the body where it will be
performed, the medications necessary, any allergies,
and so forth. The doctors and nurses ensure that
they get all this information about a patient, and
they equally inform the patient on what will be
happening - and the care to be provided and the costs
involved.

Our family has always had private health cover and a
choice in hospitals and doctors. So far there has
not been any problems in our care. We have been
very choosy in where we go and who takes care of us.
Of course maintaining a vigilance is important when
it comes to one's health. Checking on the reputation
of any hospital or medical practitioner - getting
referrals also helps.

Back to the topic.

Your comprehension with that statement borders on ignorance, if the Government releases the mistakes some of which caused deaths BUT refuses to tell the public which hospitals, in the view of any normal person that would be covered by this thread.

You tried that on another thread when I replied how you were totally hypocritical in comment in not addressing the main issue.

** If you think it is off topic hit the little red X and complain, you won't do that because it is totally 100% on topic, enjoy the egg you now wear on your face. **

ALTRAV Yes it is rather concerning if someone needs to go to a hospital and there are X amount and in some because of carelessness some people have died, you now play Russian roulette and hope you don't pick the wrong one because the Government will not say which ones are the worst.

** Your ignorance of real world events are astounding, that is exactly what the did just as in WW1 they did the same with the sinking of the RMS Lusitania. **

Foxy,

Doctors cause more deaths than gun owners.
