RE: 365 Days That Count - Day 44 - I hate hospitals.
I LOVE that quote - thank you so much for sharing. And I agree with you but to a certain extent. Unfortunately I have been through enough bullshit in hospitals to know that it's like banging your head against a brick wall, you sign your life away the second you walk in the door. I contracted a lethal infection in a surgery I only had because they missed a huge internal bleed from the previous operation and still somehow had no leg to stand on legally - utter madness. So in this case, my mum's ok and for my own sanity I'll let it go, but I made my feelings very clear on the day :)
I'm glad you like it! After I posted it I was a little worried you might take to be an insult or a call to violence (which certainly is not what either myself or Bill Mollison are about). I still find it hard ot believe that this can happen in a private hospital: I mean, in a public hospital like the NHS in the UK, I know to expect bad service, total disinterest and lethargy, but it still shocks me that a private hospital can be just as bad. I mean: don't they know they'll lose all their clients/patients if they don't provide a service worth paying for?!
You would think so but sadly in South Africa you are stuck between a rock and a hard place as you wouldn't want to go to a government hospital unless you really had to so the private ones are going to get business regardless as however terrible they are they're still better than the alternative.
No insult or call to violence, promise :)
