Did anyone hear that disturbing interview with Leader journo Nick Miller on the Jon Faine ABC radio show this week about the latest hospital outrage?
Published 6 months ago in Uncategorized.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?

The biggest shock I’ve had in a hospital was being charged for a doctor’s visit from one floor to the next because the nurses on the chemotherapy ward were unable to find a vein that wasn’t “cracked”. I think from memory it was about $33, admittedly it was a Private Hospital, but even so I thought it the very meanest account I’d ever received.
I never forgot the absolute disbelief I felt on being requested to pay for a doctor’s service due to the inability of the nurse to do “her thing”.
I missed Jon Faine that morning unfortunately but not much surprises me any more in life. It comes with the maturity of age!
Sounds like a beat up to me… I’m sure its been blown out of proportion… perhaps they just didn’t have them….
Maybe the guy could have gone to the toilet and got some toilet paper to use as a tissue.
Seriously, get over it.
