You Can't Coach That

Build it and they will come

The Queensland health system seems to lurch from one crisis to another.

The lack of hospital beds is again in the news as patients are forced to spend hours in hospital corridors waiting for an available bed, sometimes for several days.

My jaw hot the floor though when I heard our esteemed health minister indicate that the shortage of hospital beds and the strain on the health system was partly because of the substantial increase in infrastructure undertaken by the government. He made the preposterous claim that because of this increase in facilities more people were using seeking treatment.

Can you imagine? There is an expansion at the local hospital, let's go and get ourselves admitted so we can check it out.

Gotta love those politicians and their "spin".

"You can't coach that"

What about the latest announcement that 14% of hospital beds are not beds at all - chairs, trolleys etc!!!

ha ha ha, this article made me laugh (let’s go check ourselves in). You definitely nailed this one on the head. great article.

I’m so sick of politicians Coach.  I’ll be so glad when this presidential election is over.  So very, very glad.  We are drowning in their spin on everything.  Both are lying though their teeth.  Have a wonderful day. 

Great blog, success always

I am so sorry to hear this. But are you sure that it is a true picture. If so then lets given them some donation

It is a joke to hear such conditions exists. What about all the poor sick people who desperately await operations but have to be patient for years until they make it to the top of the waiting list.

blah! plain and simple stupid….

Hi Coach.  Just swinging by to say hello.  Hope all is well in your world.  Have a great week. 

You nailed that one right on the head…

Here’s a solution to the problems with overcrowding in hospitals, specifically Emergency Departments. Make people see there normal doctors for common colds.

Here in my town there was an expansion of the big hospital to get more patients and reduce the number of people waiting in the corridors.
