Canadian Health Care Needs Revamp

[shtferbrains]

When you walk down the hallways in our hospitals the nurses are all at thier desks with thier head down filling reports and checklists to forward to that administrative staff.
I bet 75% of thier time is basicly cover your ass clerical.
The hospital system used to run on a simple chart left at the patients bed.
Now it all goes into computer programs.
Every pill and bandaid has to have a form filled out.
The nurses are great but they get a bad rap sometimes because they are tied to the desk more all the time do administration to send on tp the administration.

They have had since November 2019 to increase capacity at hospitals. They will have to eventually due to the residual effects of what happens to people that get a bad case of Covid.

They have done nothing to increase hospital capacity as they continue on their process of bringing some 100000 immigrants into this country every year.

Its like Saskatchewan bragging about population growth yet forgetting to build adequate infrastructure for the higher population. how many more doctors and nurses do you need for every 100000 people???? Along with the required infrastructure around those numbers within the healthcare system?

Just imagine for a minute - a farmer has facilities for about 1000 head of cattle. Over a period of years he gradually increases the placements to 2000.

But he doesn't build the facilities any bigger. And he doesn't increase the feed supply or the labour force or the equipment to do it.

It gets really cold for a long time and the feeding equipment breaks down.

The cattle start to suffer, starve and die of disease and starvation.

What would CBC and CTV do when they learn of it?

But when it's humans, they look for someone to blame rather than address the real cause.

The administrative bloat is typical of any and all government run enterprises.

185 of the 244 in saskatoon hospitals are fully vaxxed

The jab works.

You must be spreading misinformation.

There is always room for improvement. Any experience I have had has been impressive. As long as we do not alow ourselves to brought under corporate medicine rule . Remember you if you let them in the door, the free trade agreement s would never let you get rid of them.

1- Room for improvement? Indeed. But why does improvement always take the form of more administration and less actual workers?

2 - The care experienced by those who qualify for treatment or help is almost always superior. For those who get pushed back because the bureaucrats made themselves wealthy instead of allowing dollars to flow into beneficial improvements, well, not so much.

3 - "corporate medicine rule"? Just what the hell do you think has been happening to us for the past 2 years? Did you even think about it before you typed that?

4 - When corps have taken over government, is free trade really a thing, especially when the "government coffers" -aka taxpayer dollars - are simply a wealth transfer to the big players?

Why does the loonie left want a socialized medical system that wont get any new infusions of investments. I mean $600B went out the door and not a single bandaid was bought for the system. And they defend this? Some people are just delusional.

If you dont want user fees or private funds then I guess raise the gas tax or something. Oops, I forgot we are going electric so that wont work. How about property taxes. Oops forgot canadas houseing bubble and rates.

we did spend $10 billion on vaccines that dont work though. LOL. Could have put up 20 new hospitals for that.

The trouble with government they think they can solve problems by doing reports and making people accountable by requiring checklists.
If the would have spent the money they spent on doing reports for 50 yrs on the Abbotsford dikes they could have hauled some fill and saved multi billions of dollars the spent on cleaning up flood. They didnt need more reports they needed more action.

Corporate medicine rule? Isn’t that where we are at today with pharmaceutical mandates? I guess we allowed it to happen after all.

So most of us have no experience in healthcare management or healthcare administration or healthcare policy, yet many of you seem to know what the problems are and have all the solutions?

And what you say applies all across the country in a very diverse and complex healthcare system?

Yeah farmers of a certain political view know what will fix all the problems in health care!

My advice is stick to running your own farms and businesses. Unless you think healthcare workers and management should tell you how to run your farm! LOL

How in hell would you know most on here know nothing of healthcare ???
I bet there are a good percentage of nurses on farms
Shit there is even a doctor farmer here

The biggest problem in health care is too many pencil pushers and not enough Drs. Nurses and specialists.

Started under the NDP in Sask.

Easier to get supporters in the System as Pencil pushers vs educated.

That’s so true but the Sask party has carried on that
Brain dead philosophy. And why? Because in their
Warped mind it’s better to leave shit like this in place
Just so people can complain about the unions and
Keep voting Sask party. What? that doesn’t make sense
Does it? No but it’s the truth about how dumb
We are as voters in this province. There are so
Many kids that want to be doctors nurses etc
But many can’t afford it and the requirements are so
Difficult and unrealistic and yet the Sask party keeps
Bringing in less than qualified foreign doctors to
Serve rural areas because of no incentive to get
Anything better. Rural hospitals in Saskatchewan are
In a deep crisis. Rural people have substandard
Health compared to city.
