Leader Newspapers journalist Nick Miller was on the Jon Faine ABC radio show on Tuesday talking about an amazing and disturbing incident at Dandenong Hospital. He said a man, whose wife had just given birth, asked for a tissue for his wife because she was a bit emotional. The staff said no, WE DON\”T SUPPLY THOSE, YOU HAVE TO BRING YOUR OWN. Jon Faine was astounded and he and Nick Miller had a discussion about whether we are going down the path of the United States health system. Are my fellow nookers as shocked about this attitude from our hospitals as I am? How do you feel about BYO tissues? Where will it end - BYO bedpans? Have you had anything similar happen to you?
