Re: Whistle Blower gets......blown away.
Don't blame the players, blame the system and the rules.
Careers are more important than public safety in the Police, ethics and law in government and lawyers and than honesty in accountency.
Nurses have to do unsociable hours, are at the frontline of the service, get to clean, often work with less than the numbers they should and all for less than £30k.
Unless you want to be doing this in your 60's you need to get up in the career.
But it's widespread. French fishermen come to mind...

Re: Whistle Blower gets......blown away.
What system/trade, public or private, doesn't shun whistleblowers?
We would all like to say "we don't!", but the truth is that we're all doing it. Nobody wants to hire someone who might cause trouble. Of any kind. For an employer, all bad PR reflects on you. So you hire people who won't give you any bad PR.
To try to blame this problem on any one thing("socialized" health care, the government, the health care industry in general, etc) is ridiculous. We all do it.
Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban

Explains the rise of antibiotic resistant bacteria, let's hope they'll kill us all one day, sounds just fitting for such a world.

GPs in the UK are going to be rated by their patients.Originally Posted by Husar

Sounds good, doesn't it?
But perhaps patients will rate their GP based on how happy they are in terms of getting what they want:
Inappropriate sick notes
Inappropriate drugs (narcotics / antibiotics)
Inappropriate referrals
Inappropriate investigations
So a GP who is "excellent" might have switched off their brain and be ensuring that every cough gets antibiotics, every smoker gets all the cessation medication they get irregardless of relapse, and everyone is referred, saturating hospitals with the "worried well" and every alcoholic or drug addict can top up the stuff they buy with an alternative on prescription.
Also, it takes far less time to agree to what a patient feel they need rather than explain why they might be mistaken and what other alternatives are available.
