it really is corruption.
health managers or administrators.
the money that was supposed to go to providing goods and services for a good quality public health system went into the pockets of managers and administrators and politicians.
there wasn't any point spending more on health from the government budget because any increase in expenditure would only have gone still more into the pockets o managers and administrators and politicians.they wanted cheap doctors. so they started advertising a clean green kiwi lifestyle to trained doctors from developing nations. intentionally trying to poach them from places like South Africa (that really really really need trained medical staff)... Then, when they came here, they refuse to register them properly (e.g., as specialist GPs). As in... They lose their application forms; they only run exams a few times a year and they just missed out; so on and so forth... Corruption. To get cheap staff.
the positions are all horrible hours to see people who are sick because they live in mouldy cold and leaky houses and eat plastic and sawdust and chemicals. people who are often horrible because they've been sexually and physically abused and bulled all their lives (right from the very first 'cervical exam' they had when they were just born) or the genital mutilation of their penis for skin transplant surgeries...
the line here is that the abused grow up to be abusers, which makes the whole thing okay. the idea is that everyone would be an abuser (if they thought they could get away with it) so boo hoo sometimes you lose it isn't like you'd be doing it any diferently if you couldn't get away with it -- right???
awful people.
so these awful people have been in charge for a while, now...
trying to make everyone believe the only way they will get to the top (have control over enough resources so as to make life feel like it's worth living) is to... collude.
yeah.
the district health boards wanted cheap surgeons. so they got cheap doctors who aren't registered and who haven't been accepted on any kind of training or continuing education program. and they teach our students that being a surgeon is all about having a rare and valuable skill such that you can get away with... well... murder. i'm sure.
apparently our med students start out with a brightness in their eyes..
i guess i need to figure out whether it's possible to get through the training without being flunked out for not abusing patients...
because if it isn't then there is nothing here for me in this country at all. because... i'm not going to do that. there's no reason for 4th and 5th (beginning 2 years of clinical medicine) students to be doing intimate exams... is there? and then, what, every intimate exam needs to be done... again? by someone who actually knows what they're feeling for? i was worried about this all the way back... prostate exams and the like...
do american people have guidelines on teaching / learning or...
?
we are a nation of sexual and physical abusers... informed consent... we don't have the notion of persons. of equality. there is no respect for persons or any kind of respect for a person wanting something different from you... if you can get away with imposing your will that's what you do. and if you don't fight to impose your will / get your way then too bad. you lose.
sigh.
