The Problem
Doctors (inclusive of hospitals and other staff components) normally deal with people
who are ill;
- In most instances there are invasive procedures involved;
- Patients share facilities with other ill patients;
- There is a constant risk of infection and the spreading of viruses;
- Patients lie to medical professionals, do not follow prescribed protocol and advice;
- Desired outcomes cannot always be achieved;
- Unreasonable expectancies of patients and families are not fulfilled;
- Family pressure on patients to take action is not to be discarded;
- Litigious lawyers and their agents canvass business in hospitals;
- Ever present ancient greed!
