A portion of the public are slow learners.
More likey it takes time to implement a near revolutionary
change.
They would have done better to hire the French to remake
US Health Care using the successful model developed
in France.
I guess it's not that urgent then, no?

We have states that are bigger than your country. Do you really think
the France model of healthcare would work on a country the size and
breadth of the US?

Your knowledge is poor. France has a population of
64 million. There is no State in the US with that population
California, the largest has around 37 million
You should have graduated from high school, quiting in the 9th
grad has robbed you of common knowledge

Yes, in principle. The problem hat you have powerful private interests
and a population of clueless citizens.
I guess shit tends to accumulate huh?

90,000 death penalties in American hospitals due to infections,
that is to say "poor hygiene"
Hospital Infection Deaths In Focus
Gov�t Estimates Of 90,000 In 2000 Said Much Lower Than Real Number
By Brian Dakss
Operating Room 2 in Bridgeport Hospital in Connecticut, shown on May 2,
2002, was linked to dozens of patients infections and one death in the late
1990s �(AP)
(AP)� Deaths linked to hospital infections in 2000 were 14 percent higher
than the federal government estimated, and nearly 75 percent of the deaths
could have been prevented, a newspaper reported.
About 103,000 deaths were linked to hospital infections, 13,000 more than
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calculated last year,
according to a report in Sunday editions of the Chicago Tribune.
Many of the deaths were caused by unsanitary facilities, germ-laden
instruments and unwashed hands, the newspaper reported. Infection rates are
soaring nationally, exacerbated by hospital cutbacks and carelessness by
doctors and nurses, according to the newspaper.
Hospital infections are now the fourth leading cause of death in the United
States, behind heart disease, cancer and strokes, according to the CDC.
Serious violations of infection-control standards have been found in the
majority of hospitals nationally, the newspaper said. Since 1995, more than
75 percent of all hospitals have been cited for serious cleanliness and
sanitation violations.
Hospital cleaning and janitorial staffs are overwhelmed and inadequately
trained, resulting in unsanitary rooms or wards where germs have thrived,
the newspaper said. And payroll cutbacks have gutted staffs devoted to
reducing infections.
In 1998, eight children died of an infection that spread from a Chicago
pediatric medical center to a hospital. The flulike outbreak was halted
months later after three dozen sick health care workers were ordered to stay
home.
At Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Ill., a doctor dropped a
surgical glove on a dirty floor, picked it up, put it on his hand and
changed the bloody dressing on the open wound of a burn patient.
In Detroit, infections killed four babies in 1997 as doctors and nurses
moved about the pediatric intensive care unit without washing their hands,
according to court records and interviews. It took two months for
administrators to close the nursery for cleaning.
Staphylococcus bacteria inside a West Palm Beach, Fla., hospital infected
more than 100 cardiac patients, killing 13, according to court records. The
survivors underwent painful and debilitating surgery, as rotting bone was
cut from their bodies.
At Bridgeport Hospital in Connecticut, germs flourished in areas that are
supposed to be the most sterile, according to a review of hospital records
collected in a lawsuit. The case involved four patients who contracted
infections in late 1996 and early 1997. The paper said one operating room
was often contaminated by dust because of faulty ventilation. Flies buzzed
overhead during operations and doctors wore germ-laden clothes from home.
Many did not wash their hands before operating, the paper said.
Hospitals are not required to disclose infection rates, and most don't, the
paper said. Also, doctors are not required to tell patients about risk or
exposure to hospital germs, the paper said.
To document the rising rate of infection-related deaths, the newspaper
analyzed records from 75 federal and state agencies, as well as internal
hospital files, patient databases and court cases around the country.
CDC officials said they believe most hospital infections are preventable,
but the agency has not arrived at a precise number.
The American Hospital Association said the last decade of unprecedented
cost-cutting and financial instability has impacted all areas of hospital
care.
"It's had an effect on infection control and it's had an effect on our
ability to recruit and retain workers. It's had an effect on our ability to
invest in new and updated equipment as much as we would like to," said Rick
Wade, spokesman for the AHA.
"It's also a question in front of society: How much do you want to invest in
high-quality, safe medical care?," said Wade.

And you "got bit" by your own spelling error
even as you whine about the spelling errors of others.
Could you be a bigger hypocrite if you tried?
Pretty please?

And so on and so on. the correct response to Foe should
have been that the 'botched' patient was a casualty of
French PRIVATE care.

True, it was a private clinic. Most of them are under
some sort of agreement with the SS. Even the American Hospital
in Paris has an agreement, its wiki
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/H�pital_am�ricain_de_Paris
says
"L'H�pital am�ricain de Paris est agr�� et non conventionn� par la S�curit�
sociale." meaning they charge whatever rates they charge but part of
that will be paid by the French SS.
It also states "Le corps m�dical compte environ 500 m�decins et chirurgiens
lib�raux" the last word tells you that they charge what they charge.
The difference between them and a public hospital is that all the doctors
in a French public hospital charge the SS rate. I never saw those charges.
In a clinic you can be assured of a private room. In the public hospital
that is a medical decision. In my last two stays I had a private room
but I noticed in walking up and down the double hallways of the particular
unit I was in, that about half the rooms had two beds. I think I am being
treated preferentially because I am a guinea pig (oink) in a international
clinical study and they invested, so far a lot of time in me. They wanted
to pin down why I went down hill this summer.
There is a bit of professional glory in France in being the head of a
service in a French hospital. In one case years ago, when Donna had`
carpel tunnel she was referred to a specialist at the same hospital.
She was told there was a wait but that if she paid more she could
get an appointment the next day. We did and they administered an
injection in the wrist the the carpel went away and never returned.
I thought that was not quite honest. There is no funny business
with my lung specialist. He may have a separate office elsewheres
and does take patients who may more. The standard SS rate to specialists
is only 23 euros. But most charge between 50-80 euros for a visit.
You can find specialists via a web site http://www.ameli.fr/
which lists all doctors and how much they charge.

medical botch.

They survived for years getting inordinate amounts of drugs from
their "doctors". That's not really the "Do no harm" oath that
doctors take.

YOU whine about spelling errors even as YOU

Deal?

We follow each other and pat each other on the back. A mutual

LOL @ a classic over reach
Now the self inflicted over indulgence of the wealthiest of the
wealthiest of Americans in the most affluent country in the world
somehow reflects the quality of its healthcare.
How desperate will these Socialized medicine pimps become in their
futile attempts to justify their proven unworkable dogma????
