NSW Healthcare Reportings
Jan 31st, 2017 at 8:14pm
 
This thread is a further compilation of reported NSW Health incidences and complaints, as they occur, now and in the future. It's not about Public or Private healthcare per se, nor party politics, but just the mishaps that we all should know about to make us aware of the possibilities of them happening to yourself, your relatives or your friends ... indeed, anyone using the NSW healthcare facilities

We are now in the post Jillian Skinner era, with Bradley Hazzard shuffled into the portfolio of Minister for Health and Minister for Medical Research. The new Minister needs to check the credentials and quality of senior medical staff, doctors and head nurses etc, and weed out the dudds. We can only become "Worlds Best" if both the equipment and the personnel are top quality

It will be satisfying to me if this thread is never a particularly long thread, because that will mean there will not be many reported mishaps to post in here, and that the new minister will be doing his job properly, disciplining Area Managers and Hospital Managers to put patients first, instead of the politics of healthcare and politics within health institutions. Politics before patients has, in general, been destroying NSW Healthcare. Under Skinner, politics was more important than the human side of healthcare, patients always came a poor second, most of the time, patients were just objects within a paradigm of strategies and healthcare finances



This latest link can hardly be the fault of the new Minister, it will take a while to get NSW Health back on track after Skinner's appalling tenure. But further mishaps, if any, will be squarely on Bradley Hazzard's head

Fake doctor working in NSW HealthCare for 10 years


"Shyam Acharya is accused of stealing a doctor's name and medical qualifications while in India before moving to Australia and becoming a citizen."


"To find work in Australia, he allegedly used fraudulent documents to gain registration with the Medical Council of New South Wales in 2003."


"Mr Acharya worked at Manly, Hornsby, Wyong and Gosford hospitals under the name Sarang Chitale up until 2014."

Good job - destroying the Skinner legacy


Plans to seize North Ryde home

NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard has confirmed he plans to seize a home owned by Mr Acharya in North Ryde worth a reported $1.5 million, taking back wages earnt from working in the state's public hospitals.

He said money from the sale of the home would go towards recouping the wages paid to the fraudulent doctor by NSW Health, which brought Mr Acharya into the country in 2003 on a skilled migration visa.

"We will be doing everything we can to recover the cost of the house so taxpayers can get their money back," Mr Hazzard said.

Confidential hospital patient records found dumped in Sydney bin

More than 700 public patients and hundreds more in the private system have had their privacy breached after letters from their specialists to GPs were found dumped in a Sydney bin.

This is the second privacy breach involving NSW Health documents that has come to light this year, after the ABC revealed patient records had been found in hospital carparks.

Another privacy breach I suggest needs urgent attention in public hospitals is the flagrant disregard for the privacy of women in mixed wards.

We can appreciate that the lion's share of health funding must go towards keeping the bureaucracy overstaffed and maintaining the lifestyle of upper & middle management, but do the ladies have to endure the kinds of embarrassments not to mention fears I hear about.

Former reality TV contestant and NRL 'doctor' exposed as fraud


"Despite warnings from the Dietitians Association of Australia to stop using the trade mark “accredited practising dietitian” and claiming to have a PhD, Mr Kirsten continued to perpetuate the belief he had qualifications."

Disgusting and indefensible treatment of an elderly woman on Jillian Skinner's and Pru Goward's watch

" .... Shirley Carter died the next day. Ms Carter said she was told to keep quiet.

"She said to me, 'Oh, it's probably better if you don't say anything to anybody, because you know how these kind of things can be blown out of proportion
'".

"I was really angry after that."


Call for more scrutiny in aged care, after maggots found on woman (in her mouth) in nursing home north of Newcastle

The woman who died at Lismore  base hospital.
Its horrible  to  watch.  When she repeatedly  crys for help  and the two nurses completely  ignore  her Cry

Unimaginable  you could  die like that in a big hospital  with  well trained  and well paid staff who simply  don't  care.

Nsw health. .. pays themselves  first world pay but deliver  third world  care

The trouble is they're not trained well enough. Only now are they receiving extra training after each wrongful death in each healthcare district. NSW Health is divided into districts with their own district managers. The manager of the Northern District is Wayne Jones. If it was up to me, I'd send him back to Management School along with all other District managers

But the real inquiry should be looking into why hospital Patient Safety and Clinical Quality officers are not doing their job ... or, not being allowed to do their job

This publication came out in 2009, but hardly any regional public hospital is aware of it, and yet the link is in the NSW Healthcare web site. It's a NSW Health document. About time they started reading it

NSW Health is committed to
ensuring that the privacy and
dignity of patients is respected
at all times during their health
care experience.
This booklet is a guide for
all NSW Health employees,
as respecting patient privacy
and dignity is “everyone’s
responsibility”. Each of us play
our part in this and must work
together to provide patients
and carers with what matters
the most.

Not fake news ... Fake Viagra! A nurse was attentive enough to bring the "gritty" tablets to the attention of the hospital pharmacist

I lived in that area at the time this was going down... some rather odd tales involved... I'm not 100% certain about this one...
