A fresh start
Another new year. Time flies; perhaps that's because
it's faster downhill. Discovered that I haven't
been kicked off the 20six website even though my last entry was a year
ago. Decided that it was time to try harder and keep up with this. Use
it or lose it; useful practice thinking, writing, typing, computing.
More is less
From today patients are to be able to choose from four hospitals for
their treatment. Is this really as good as the government claims? Will
GPs know enough about four hospitals to offer patients choice? Will
they have the time to find out? I doubt people check four supermarkets
before deciding at which to shop; they probably choose the nearest to
them.
Food for thought
There have been calls for Jamie Oliver to campaign for better food for
patients in hospitals; his one to improve food in schools was
considered successful. However, is he, or any other well-known chef for
that matter, the right person for this? He caters for people with
hearty appetites. Poorly patients in hospitals are unlikely to have
hearty appetites, and if they aren't poorly and are in for
more than a few days then why are they there? I don't doubt
there is a problem getting patients to eat but I suspect it's
due more to lack of staff to coax and help them to eat rather than lack
of appetising food. The hungrier you are the more you'll eat
anything.
