Swedish health care let’s patients that can die from infection share room with swine flue patients

In todays DN.se we can read that a Swedish hospital let’s a cancer sick elderly women that has a suppressed immune system due to heavy medication and is connected to a ventilator share room with a swine flu patient. All due to budget costs and room shortage. I am saying, this old women cannot be the only patient in the hospital, it most be possible to put another cancer patient in the same room. This is just real bad disorganisation by the hospital.

Since swine flue is making this women at risk of dying they should immediately remove the swine flu patient to a room with other virus patients. Swedish health care is just not optimal. Bad organisation, bad budget, bad boss’s, bad, bad, bad. I love the word BAD! That’s all I am saying about this.

Perhaps the hospital want to kill off the patient?

Hackers came over patient information

What type of records I could’t really understand from the article in Aftonbladet.se. The patients name, booking time and diagnosis were leaked. However the article says it is not “patientjournaler”, in English patient records. So it must be some kind of supporting system. However the diagnosis shouldn’t be in a supporting system… so I am wondering what system they really hacked? I would like to know. However the article doesn’t say.

Then the article also says that there were problems with people not doing as guidelines stipulate, i.e. storing databases locally even though it’s not allowed.

I am so pissed off. This is what I constantly have seen at many companies, both in the private and public sector – people not doing their job. Sometimes I wonder why they in example keep on working with no authorization checks in systems that offer that? Often a thing like that is due to lack of knownledge, or even worse not lack of knownledge but just pure lazyness.

I far to often expericene that people do not do their jobs. I do it and then I do it so fast that nobody can keep up. This means the changes to order and structure and logic goes so fast that the users cannot keep up. I understand that, but continue working chaos won’t help the world. So then people need to start using regulations, order, structure and so on… still they complain and complain and complain. Even though I am right and they are wrong. I am a person that is very organized. And beeing organized makes things secure and effective. Quality is allways the same if you do something the same. If the quality is not the same than everything isn’t done the same. Doing things the same way however never says if things are done right… I am not saying that processes when in place shouldn’t be improved. They should be improved and improved over and over again. Of course!

But in order to have quality you need to do things the same way all the time. Might be booring, but it´s the safest way. If there is a method the method is the only thing needing improvement until you have found all parameters… however that can take a loooooong time… you might never peak. But my experience is that others don’t see it this way. Especially many people in organisations that want to keep on doing wrong things forever and working in chaos.

I am all for organizing. This way you can find wholes like the ones in that system. If you own a company and people do not follow the processes you could end up i.e. even killed or loosing your company, depending on the products. Let´s say you make safety products that save lifes, then the consecvens for your employees not following rutines might be that someone ends up dead. Therefor every company needs quality assurance. Just saying. If Landsstinget in Västra Götaland used that, then the employees wouldn´t have databases stored locally. Just saying.

However, people doing quality assurance are often considered “difficult” and people often complain about this and that when new methods are introduced. Just saying. This hacking wouldn´t have been done if managers inforced the processes and people did their jobs. Just saying.

If people can get fired for not “looking the part”, “not beeing friendly enough” and so on… then why doesn’t Landstinget fire the managers that do not see to that their employees do their jobs? And why not even fire the employees too?

I have lost some jobs for many strange reasons and I have allways done my job, worked with good quality, been there on time, just worked during the work hours and so on… but if i.e. the boss just don’t like you they fire you… and even if you been the nicest and you got a virus and was home for that period you can loose your chance to get permanent employment after a trail employment. Many strange reasons have been given.  Some have tried to mask bad numbers before selling the company. Others have shut down the whole site. Never for not doing my job. Never for beeing sloppy.

So how come they are still working and one of the best workers has no permanent job? I think the world is full of shit. At least in my part of it. I might not be the most socialized person and I get into trouble since I do not kiss ass. I however do not argue either. People just hate me anyway. I cannot seem to understand why. Because I actually work? And I am effective? I think that there should be more room for us who won’t make best friends at work (not completly true… since two of my best friends are from a former work place…but you know… I am not that interested in my other collegues after work).

I think there should be more room for not wanting to go on after work and parties will collegues. I don’t find any interest in socializing. I even like to eat lunch alone. I really enjoy my own company.

So when were socializing more important than doing a good job? I will never be a winning concept in a world were socializing skills comes first. I am not good at that. I am good at many other things. I am not introvert…. even though you might think I was. I am good at “first impressions”. But then I loose interest and I am not that interested in people of no interest…many are sorted  to that – not interesting to socialize with. I like certain people as my friends.

At work I can work with anyone, it’s usually others that cannot work with someone that doesn’t kiss their ass and fuck them after work… Sorry for my language. Well, I could go on forever. But I have to stop there. I am just thinking that there should be some kind of actions when people do not do their jobs or bosses don’t let people do their work. Just saying. It shouldn’t be possible to hack patient information. Just saying!!! I am pretty pissed.

Bad doctors are causing pain to patients

When a patient clearly is in pain some doctors don´t seem to belive in the patients and do not send them to investigations. A women in Sweden had to experience that her doctor just gave her pain killer and told her to loose weight when she had pain and a lump in the cheast, according to NT.se. Since so many months passed, even though she had seeked doctors three times, her tumour grew. Finally she was in so much pain so she was admitted to a hospital and not until then she was investigated. Three doctors appointments and no investigations. Now the cancer had spread and she got cancer in more places, according to the article in NT.se. She could have gotten treatment much earlier if the doctor would have investigated her as the doctor should have from the beginning

I hope that doctors understand that one test to many is better then none. Better safe than sorry. When money rules however, then doctors are reluctant to make additional tests. Instead people have to end up even more sick, sometimes even dead.

Bad routines at hospitals and people get injured

I read an article in Aftonbladet.se about a man in Linköping that was operated and placed at RiL (Regionsjukhuset i Linköping). However after the operation of his foot that was injured in a accident they placed him at another part of the hospital, since they had to few beds within the correct part of the hospital. They forgot about him and the doctors round didn´t go to him and thanks to that when they did remember him three muscles were dying and couldn´t be saved. The hospital just said they were sorry and now he has to live with a injury that makes him crippled for life and not able to continue his sports. The hospital just said they had reported themselves.

I happen to believe that the doctor and nurses should be “prickade” (dotted) for mistakes like forgetting to do their job. When 3 dots, then loose their license to practice. I do not want to be injured for the rest of my life because of neglect from health care industry. If their job isn´t to have responsibity then it is the bosses fault that the personal has no time to make the processes better. If the boss has told the Landstingsstyrelsen that the boss needs resources and not gotten them, then it´s the politicians fault. Maybe politicians that make wrong choices also should have some consecvenses, maybe “böter”, like a ticket? They do not have a license to they have nothing to loose and in order for them to do something it must be a feelable consecevense.

There should be a alarming system for health care personel if they cannot seem to do their job within their responsibilty. There should be no “forgetting” of patients. Especially within health care were the consecevense is death or injuries that cause harm.

There must be consecvenses, then people start to take action and care. This is my strong point of view. Caring and double checking things doesn´t come naturally to everyone. However in this case a man probably would had better changes of a really good life if they just had remembered to do their job.

A cancerpatient doesn´t get the operation needed to have survival chance

In todays show of Verkligheten at radio SR P3 they sent and interview with a women with a cancer diagnosis with allmost zero procentage of survival without surgery. In her hometown there is a surgeon that could operate her. If she would have gotten a remiss from the health care in Uppsala she would have been able to get the operation for free. But Uppsala Landsting didn´t want to, neither did they want to operate her. So in fact Swedish Landstinget wanted her to die? She didn´t want to die, she took a lone from friends and relatives to fund the operation. She payed for her operation her self. She had a massive amount of tumours and needed a operation fast. The tumours were killing her by pressing her organs. She needed to be operated fast.
The facts for this I heard on P3, a Swedish radio channel.

I think it´s very sad that the Swedish health care doesn´t want to give people a chance for survival. They are sentencing people to die. This is due to rules that in fact are bad for the Swedish population. It´s not the wishes of the patient that rules. This is the Alliance politics in action. Killing off all those to sick for society or what? Some hundred years ago Sweden had Ättestupan, a place were the old people were killed. So is that were Sweden is going once more.

All Landsting sends there patients to the specialist in Uppsala, but in Uppsala Läns Landsting in Sweden they do not. So in Uppsala the peritoneum cancer patients are supposted to die, or what?

I am glad that her friends and relatives gave her the lone to operate.

Imagine I had to start an argument with the dentist – Tänk att man måste hamna i argumentation med tandläkaren

What should I say. The last time I went to the dentist the dentist had to start argumenting against me. I said pull out the anesthetics needle when I felt it starting to push my nose upwards and I was allready numb, even though I felt extreem uncomfort and pain from the needle. I knew it was enough.

I am not in my 20´s, I have gone to the dentist many times over the years. And who knows my body best, onoone else but ME! I happen to know I only need like 30% of a normal dosage. I am then numb all away in the right places. Using more just gives me uncomfort and I can no longer swollow my own saliva.

The dentist started arguing that there is no normal amount even before giving me the needle. Oh mine, idiot, the avarage dose is existent, isn´t it? I said, well use half of the minimum dose. He said he started feel uncertain how much that is. I said, well, go talk to another dentist if you want to. I felt it would be better if he asked someone. I said, isn´t it in my records? He said no it isn´t. Then he started giving the needle and I said 3 times – take it out now! It´s enough. I know my body. It was enough. My 3rd begging he pulled it out.

Then he said that if he couldn´t do it his way and I could not trust him then he wouldn´t take out the broken teeth. Oh mine, here I was, totally numb. I explained I did not feel anything in the gum all the way down on the neck side. I was numb enough, and this tooth didn´t have any live nervs either. Go on, I said. He started arguing that I should come back another time. I said, I cannot go around with a broken tooth, pull it out.

He in fact did not believe I was numb, even though I was. I asked for his boss. He said there was none. I was thinking he is lying. I left the dentist chair and went out to the reception and asked them who I should talk to about the procedure. They asked me to go back to the dentist. I went inside again. I asked another dentist assistent if there was no boss? He said, yes there is. Well, I wanna speak to him I said. Then another dentist came along and asked me what happend. I said that I am oversensitive to anesthetics and only need a third of a normal dosage. He remebers me, he has been my dentist before. He said, well come here to my room. I went in there and I explained the situation. He listened and said he would complete the work. I started crying of happiness. I couldn´t hold back my tears. He continued the other dentist work. He pulled out the tooth. Friendly, polish dentist, as usual.

All went just fine and I didn´t feel that much, even though my roots were like devil roots, S-shaped and uncredible difficult to pull out.

I after all did get the tooth pulled out and then I could have my white trash smile. I have to be like this for a while before I can make an implant.

I think that the dentist did not believe in me, I am very assure of my body and I am right about most things. I don´t think that doctors, dentists and so know all. After all it is not an exact science. But anyone knows it´s not healthy to walk around with a broken root. It´s dangerous. It´s not an option to leave such a tooth.

To all you dentist out there – you are not God. Not even in dentistry. Sometimes the customers is right. In this case I was right.

So please – listen to the patients all the time!

Förstå att jag var tvungen och hamna i en argumentation med min behandlande tandläkare! Jag är en överkänslig person, känslig för de mesta konstgjorda preparat och behöver typ bara en tredjedel av bedövningssprutans innehåll hos ex tandläkaren. Jag är ingen spjuver i 20-års-åldern och jag känner vid det här laget min kropp. Jag vet vad som är bäst för mig och ingen annan. Ofta har läkare och tandläkare en förmåga att tro att de vet bäst. Ibland vet dem inte det. När det kommer till tandläkarbesök så vet jag bäst.

Tandläkaren började argumentera redan innan sprutan och sa att det inte finns en normaldos, då sa jag – mediandosen och sedan vill jag bara ha en tredjedel av den. Han sa att han kände sig osäker. Javisst, om det inte står i journalen hur mycket jag behöver så får du gärna fråga en kollega om råd, sa jag.

Han började ge sprutan och jag bad hon ta ut den när jag kände att hela gommen var borta och sprutan började göra ont. Jag var tvungen och be hon dra ut sprutan tre gånger, sista gången röt jag för att det tröck mot näshålan och ögat. Han drog ut sprutan.

Han var lite putt på mig. Han sa att han inte kunde forsätta dra ut tanden om jag inte litade på honom. Jag sa att jag visst litade på honom, men att angående bedövningen måste han lita på mig. Han verkade ha problem att tro jag var bedövad. Nu hade bedövningen ökat i känsla och jag var helt bedövad i halva gommen och en bra bit ned på ena sidan av halsen.

Jag sa att jag lovar att jag är bedövad. Han fortsatte argumentera. Jag frågade om någon chef fanns på plats. Nej, fick jag till svar. Jag sa att nu börjar det kännas olustigt och reste mig upp och gick ut i reception och berättade vad som händer. Jag frågade varför han inte bara kan dra ut tanden.

De bad mig gå tillbaks till tandläkaren och ta diskussionen med honom. Han var dock som att prata med en vägg, så det kändes inget vidare. På vägen in, frågade jag en tandskötare om det inte fanns någon chef. Jo, det finns det, sa han. Jag vill prata med honom, sa jag. Okej. Då träffade jag en annan tandläkare i korridoren, en som tidigare behandlat mig. Han frågade vad det gällde och jag sa som det var. Han förstod, han har ju trots allt hjälpt mig tidigare. Han erbjöd mig att sitta ned i hans rum och så gjorde han ingreppet istället. Kändes bra. Tårarna rann, jag var så ledsen för att den andra tandläkaren inte litade på mitt ord. Jag blir så när jag inte blir trodd. Jag gillar inte att folk ifrågasätter mig, när jag vet att jag har rätt. Tanden var komplicerad och tanden kom ut i små bitar. De elaka djävulsrötterna var S-formade och knepiga att få ut. Nu har jag inte längre irritation bakom ögat, som jag hade från att tanden gick sönder tills att den blev utdragen.

Jag kan inte fatta att jag skulle hamna i en argumentation med en tandläkare med ego-komplex. Jag vill inte ha fördomar mot någon, men han hade nog svårt för auktoritära personer, vilket jag kan uppfattas som. Han var nog van och vara den som bestämmer och vet bäst, men nu visste han ju inte att jag var en expert när det gäller min egen kropp. Nåväl, jag fick världens bästa tandläkare att ta bort min tand och jag är nöjd. Polska tandläkare när de är som bäst.

New technique has just made society more vulnerable

In Sweden the trains in Western Sweden are standing still, according to Dn.se. Why? A computer error of course. A hundred years ago this would not have happend. The trains could run and if something was broken it was due to something mechanical. All trains would not stand still unless the traintracks where gone!

All this technique should set us free – but it has only trapped us in in many ways. We are more vulnerable and the quality of the products on the market are often not the highest.

You cannot even trust health care instruments, we can also read in Dn.se. In Denmark a tool for rectoscopi had not been propely cleaned for about 700 people. Imagine that. The persons could have gotten any disease.

So communications, health care… everything is vulnerable and risking even life. The problem at Trafikverket is that they cannot see incoming traffic… that´s bad.

Infrastructure should allways work. There should be analouge backup. Also health care must have demands on quality assurance, some kind of technical overview of all products that are used for many patients… One should be able to trust health care… but we cannot…
