Girl refused bed before she died from flu


August 31 2020 - 5:23PM
Greta Stonehouse


A toddler who had become "floppy and blue" and was rushed to a Sydney hospital was originally refused a bed by two separate nurses, an inquest has heard.

Less than 24-hours after Caitlin Cruz arrived at Westmead Children's Hospital in October 2016 she died from flu complications.

Another drug fueled attack - Westmead Hospital


Nurse attacked in hospital recounts bloody incident


By 9News Staff
7:23pm Sep 12, 2020


"All of a sudden he jumped out of bed and tried to go for our security guard, and chasing him, and started punching him in the back,"


Ms Davies claimed Mr Soloman stopped chasing the security guard and came for her.


"He looked like he wanted to kill someone," she said.
"I was shocked that I became the target, out of nowhere."
Ms Davies said she tried to run, but Mr Soloman's arms went around her neck and she collapsed into a doorframe.
The resulting injury, which laid her scalp open to her skull, needed 16 staples.

One of those "sent home" stories again, very sad ....

Young woman sent home from Gosford Hospital after being diagnosed with meningitis(?) and given some tablets to take with her.

Next morning she was rushed back to the hospital and died of meningococcal with her distraught mother watching as she died.

This was in Aug 2018

But .. family now sueing ....

Aussie family sues Health Department over daughters' death


By Simon Bouda|A day ago


Mischelle was taken by ambulance to Gosford Hospital and triaged before seeing a doctor.

"He was a
junior doctor
who saw her and then they gave her some medication," Anjini told me
.

How in the world did NSW Healthcare let this happen?



Two people have been fired and banned from working in healthcare after faking their medical credentials.

Titilayo Oyedele and Oladele Eluwole, both originally from Nigeria, both worked for NSW Health in pathology roles for a number of years.

An investigation by the Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC) found they had lied about their experience and pulled the same stunt in the UK years earlier.

Ms Oyedele arrived in Australia in November 2014 and since then has held various positions as a Technical Officer and Hospital Scientist at NSW Health Pathology. (with fake credentials)

A complaint was made against her, alleging she gave two patients incompatible blood during a transfusion. (wrong blood type)

NSW Health said the investigation confirmed she was responsible for one of the adverse incidents cited in the original complaint.

"While the error could have been life-threatening, as the patient was in the High Dependency Unit at the time the patient was able to be medically stabilised," a spokesperson said.


https://www.9news.com.au/national/fake-scientists-banned-from-working-in-health-...


How is it that NSW Healthcare only just found out that the credentials of these two Nigerians are fake. Were the credentials checked before they were employed by NSW Healthcare?, if not, why not?

Healthcare workers at Campbelltown Hospital hit with paid parking


Frontline health workers slugged with paid parking


By A Current Affair Staff|2 days ago

https://9now.nine.com.au/a-current-affair/coronavirus-frontline-aussie-health-wo...


My Notes: Isn't a parking area supposed to be integral to a Hospital? It is, but now it seems it's not. They're becoming revenue raisers, and staff are parking in the street to avoid the fees which bite into their pay

There's something fundamentally wrong with this move, workers being charged to park in their own facility's carpark, a Govt carpark, now making money, for maintenance Brad Hazzard was saying.

Well why isn't the maintenance costs included in the Hospital's overall budget?


This move is asking the healthcare workers to a pay a tax to towards their own public workplace, technically that's what it is, a tax, which the public should be paying for, that's the principle of Public funding and Public facilities, which are for the Public of the State of NSW. But getting the workers alone to pay extra taxes for their workplace is like saying to them, "User pays", but they don't "use" the Public facility, they work in it, and the carpark is part and parcel of "working in the facility"


Read this Gladys, and Minister Hazzard, you're in the wrong. Maintenance of the carpark is to be paid for by all the people of NSW, not just the few healthcare workers who work there, for heaven's sake

NSW doctors rally against hospital’s ‘third-world conditions’
(Canterbury Hospital)

Deborah Knight

Dozens of senior doctors working at Canterbury Hospital have penned a letter to Health Minister Brad Hazzard, calling on NSW Health to revamp the facility.

NSW Health has not acted on the matter, stating the hospital meets many of its targets, despite doctors describing the hospital as having “third-world conditions”.

Member for Canterbury Sophie Cotsis told Deborah Knight the letter is “just the tip of the iceberg”.

“We’re outgrowing the space and it’s leaving a lot of our community in dire health conditions.

Ms Cotsis said a strategic plan for improvements to the hospital already exists, having been developed in 2013.

“Canterbury Hospital is … one of the only hospitals in NSW that hasn’t been upgraded in the last 10, 15 years.”

It's been quiet in here for the last five months, not much to report, that might be a good sign

This one is the sentencing of a drug addict who punched a security guard, then caused a nasty injury to a female nurse in Sep 2020

He avoided jail, even a light jail term ....

Man who split nurse's head open in drug-fuelled attack sentenced

By Freya Noble • Senior Producer
2:36pm Oct 13, 2021


Solomons, 26, was today handed a sentence of two years and six months
to be served under supervision in the community
.
As part of the order,
he must complete drug rehabilitation
and engage in mental health treatment.



https://www.9news.com.au/national/man-who-attacked-emergency-department-nurse-at...


What happens if he doesn't go off the drugs, just let him go at the end of the supervision, and forget about him?

We pay for all this drug chaos medical and court case business, and we're not even told what happens if his rehabilitation is unsuccessful

Are illicit drugs taxed, so the proceeds can go towards medical and court fees? The female nurse required 16 stitches in her forehead

Why should the rest of us have to pay for everything that is the fault of drug addicts who consume illicit drugs? Our money seems to be wasted in the fog of the drug war

The war is the longest duration war in the Universe's history and governments budget for it in the same way they budget for Defense - eternal spending forever with no ending.

It's time the drug addicts pay for the damage they cause, lifting the burden of us ... and it would make the druggies think twice about taking drugs

'We can't get Adam back': Family's pain after hospital failures led to son's death


St George Hospital

This young guy was left without oxygen, the tube had come apart and the alarm went off but no one attended to him when there was supposed be 1 on 1 care. He was left without oxygen long enough to become brain dead but there was every chance he would have survived had he had a constant supply oxygen, and had the staff been doing their job properly


https://9now.nine.com.au/a-current-affair/aussie-family-speak-out-over-sons-deat...

There seems to be no concern from NSW Healthcare .... what's a life here and there? No one cares

The parents are distraught at losing their son, but all they'll get is an empty apology from the hospital and Brad Hazzard - don't vote for him anymore

Mother dying. Her triple vaccinated daughter kicked out of Campbelltown hospital and made to wait outside. Mother died

"The spokesperson said the hospital was reviewing the incident to ensure it did not happen again."
Yeah sure!

Minister Brad Hazzard and Premier Dominic Perrottet issued empty PC apologies


https://www.9news.com.au/national/sydney-woman-made-to-wait-in-campbelltown-hosp...


My note: The Premier, some time ago, said "Well just have to live with Covid", then restrictions were eased and the State was opened up ... yet, this distraught daughter, trying to be by her dying mother's side, came up against jurassic jack-booted Public hospital nazis .... inhuman, no-compassionate and non-empathetic dictators, only interested in their pay packets

All Public hospital staff need to be educated in the art of being human ... after they've learned what the word "Public" means
