Hi Everyone,
Considering the 3rd leading cause of death in the USA and Canada is Medical Error - I would say that our system is in dire need of change. While the Government benefits from maintaining their broken system in order to avoid short-term responsibility, they have effectively set a precident for mass scandals; which as we all know, is an unfortunate byproduct of toxic workplace cultures rife with abuse, corruption and absolutely zero accountability. Large Corporations and Institutions (particularly unions, Government funded organizations), wind up with a toxic workplace culture, especially when the workplace is deemed a, "High Risk Environment." One could say that Healthcare is risky business. If you consider the 3rd leading cause of death, you can see why things aren't improving... If you harm someone, you risk losing your job, being charged, being subject to ridicule as a result of a loss of professional appearance, and or being sued. But don't you worry - that system is in place which takes care of all your mistakes, your abuses. Not only can you alter and falsify the only evidence that exists, you can also rest in knowing that your colleagues will protect you. Why? Well - this is complex and multifaceted, some of these may play a role:
A.) They are guilty of similar attrocities and feel compelled to protect you in exchange for the same.
B.) They agree to stay silent in exchange for...
C.) They are new to the industry and naive; unaware of such corruption and how normalized it is.
D.) They know it happened, but they will protect the perpetrator just because they like to see vulnerable people suffer.
E.) FEAR keeps them silent - culture of fear and intimidation.
The healghcare system thinks it is vital that they also come to realize their UTTER @%!/!¥$ FAILURE to live up to their morals and ethics.
When you have a system that can be utilized for covering up mistakes, you in effect lay the foundation for covering up malicious intent. And considering most cases of abuse take place behind closed doors, 1 on 1 and off the record, it is even more disturbing to know that the person in power also owns and authors the only evidence that exists: the health records.
These are altered and falsified ALL the time in preparation for lawsuits and complaints.
Thanks,
