Re: Hospitals and financial troubles

Hi! My name is Jenn. I'm in Vancouver, Washington, and this is my first

post... I intended to lurk a while, but I couldn't help putting in my

experience relating to this matter. Intro to come soon! *chuckle*

I have found that when healthcare funding from federal sources are

drastically cut as they are being now, nationaly, all of the above suffer

dramaticaly. #2 is compromised to cut costs, this results in us, the

caregivers, becoming overworked and frustrated at the quality of care we are

forced to provide by management, and naturally... this causes #3 to

drastically suffer. It's a horrible game, of " topple the dominoes. " When I

was able to work, I was a Respiratory therapist for 12 years, I saw this

trend repeated at every hospital I worked in. The most recent example being

my previous employer had their federal contributions cut by 25 MILLION over

3 years. ouch! It isn't right. The, " bean counters, " decide where

services " need " to be cut... and that never makes for good medicine.

Very disappointed at hospital beancounters everywhere....
