Firstly this is the “Domain”, right next to the Auckland Hospital, it’s a lovely park.
Right, the Auckland Hospital Board is a huge organisation of CEOs and “experts”, but the Drs and nurses give excellent service even if the administration department does not know their left hand from their right.
Quite frankly, from today’s experience, a group of Baboons could do management better than they can.
I was given good medical care for my broken arm. I now have a lighter cast. I am happy with the medical team
Another fly in the ointment is the communication between one department to another.
At the moment the young Doctors are on strike over the pay and the awful hours they have to work, in fact its a miracle the patients are safe when they have to work the long hours with no breaks. The problems are a lot deeper and more complex than just this.
I was promised some things to help me for my broken arm by Accident Compensation. Its a great way of getting people stop seeing other people for their accidents. Medical expenses are compensated for by this organisation called, ACC. Great idea
What happened to me, I was promised some home help. Now, I am fine, I don’t need it with the lighter cast. Home help came from 3 lots of organisations and the person was supposed to arrive from an agency and they didn’t arrive at all. To find out why.
Some other organisation organised my home help, tried to contact me, but I was with my husband waiting for as long as 5 hours to be seen to, but this organisation I did not know anything about until today. It had been tried to call me while at medical appointments. As for the other 3 organisations they did not know anything.
I just cancelled home help and said I would do it myself. Honestly monkeys are better organised than them.
Good thing, I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.
Welcome to Auckland Hospital Board and “Wacky Wednesday!
Thanks so much Tasartcraft glad you like the photo
These problems with health policy everywhere have problems. Physicians are right to protect. Unlike bad health policy, they are polite and hearty to patients. Get healthier faster.
Yes you are so right, you see it all clearly thanks Elenka
Oh, Pamela, as far as I know it. In our country, we have a very similar situation, if not the same.
Yes, our NZ organisation skills aren’t great thanks Vidocka
I can imagine and feel how annoying and disappointing it is when we are dealt with improperly by an organization that deals with medical care. For important matters for humanity like that, it turns out there are still many parties that are not credible.
Hopefully, you will recover soon, Pamela.
Certainly do, I put this in bearing thoughts my situation is temporary while others are dependant on a system that doesn’t help them
Thanks so much Albert for your thoughtful comments
My grandmother had a cast for nearly 3 months. It turned out that some foolish doctors cast her bone in the wrong way. Hope you have got good treatment.
Thanks Abhishek, our Greenlane clinic checked the wrist bone every time the cast was set and I saw the X rays
It is really frustrating sometimes dealing with the after effect of getting better.
Happy you got a lighter cast!
Sorry about the reality of hospital miscommunication!
Thanks so much Doc, I would say our Auckland hospital needs a communication upgrade.
I have worked with many (US) hospitals over the years. They have a reluctance to embrace new.
Yes you are right and most of the Hospital board have set agendas
I remember working with a hospital in Chicago. The CIO told me “email is not a critical application.” I smiled and asked him “how do XRay techs get XRays to doctors?”
The CIO said they carry the prints to them.
I smiled and showed him an email with the Xray attached, from my Xray in his hospital.
They don’t always have the ability to have a direction.
Yes well the 3 stooges may certainly do a better job, I agree
I am glad that the hand is already better, dear friend …. but you also have health problems … just like us … doctors work through their abilities new ones … there is no health system in our country before the break
Thanks Lado, at first the cast was very heavy but yesterday the hospital gave me a lighter cast. My cast should be off in 5 weeks time
I’m holding fists and I think of you, dear friend
I appreciate your input, at least the medial team are OK at auckland hospital
I appreciate your input, at least the medial team are OK at auckland hospital. thanks again
With great pleasure … and thank you too for your kindness, dear friend
Not to mention that The Three Stooges could do a better job running the hospital you are talking about since one of their video shorts called “Men In Black” is best known for the line “For duty and humanity.” as their mission to save lives.
