CV and mad panic behaviour

[shawny]

the surgeons are not running the place.

The government are the ones who set the accreditation standards. 

The government funds the place using tax payers dollars.

The nurses are generally the ones that run hospitals.

Surgeons, are surgeons.  Brilliant at what they do, but they don't run health services, even if they run their own private practise.  Most of them are poor at anything but their specialty.  In fact, they're highly specialized and usually pretty crap with the finer details of things outside their profession including being notoriously bad at managing finances.

Next time you speak to your top notch surgeon, ask them about how the health services are funded.

They wouldn't know.  They don't know that the government funds e erything based on health information managers applying codes to each and every treatment that is administered in a hospital encounter.  Heck, most of them don't even write their own notes.

The government doesn't do a Stirling job of everything.  I've been employed by a health service since Chris Judd last played for West coast, and the biggest issue I had with what they did with money was how they consumed their budget to ensure they got a similar amount next year, but they do service all parts of the community in like fashion, and they don't share staff across health services because there are additional considerations there regarding employment contracts, resourcing, training, and ensuring that staff actually know what they're doing at each health service.

Fair enough.

Agree to disagree on this one. I would back the surgeons in and the ones I knew had a lot of knowledge about the system they operated in. I understand your point just struggle to back the government over them. 

Anyhow on a completely different front you mentioned Chris Judd. My wife and I happen to sit with the great man and his family on a plane last week. Very down to earth all of them and couldn’t believe how well behaved the kids are!  Chris looks like he could still play by the way. His son had a cough and beck said don’t worry it’s not corona and chris grinned and said it’s not a good time to have a cough!
Geez I loved watching him in his prime. How many games when you could really see he was on another level to everyone on the field.
