“There were also bodies in the reception and emergency department. Part of the department was completely demolished, and the rubble and debris were moved over the patients.”
“The bodies we found were on beds at the reception and emergency department, meaning Israel destroyed the department over the heads of sick and injured people – and they were buried alive.”
Motasem Salah, director of the Gaza Emergency Operations Centre @palestine #Gaza #hospital
According to Al Jazeera, citing a member of the Palestinian Civil Defense, his team stands ready to compile an evidential report for an independent investigation into the mass graves discovered at #Gaza’s #Nasser#Hospital.
Mohammed al-Moghier emphasized, "We are ready to assist their work in order to compel the Israelis to refrain from committing crimes against people in Gaza."
Al-Moghier also reflected on the toll of working in Gaza for the past months, acknowledging that some aid workers are traumatized after being unable to save people they attempted to rescue. "Some of our members are suffering from traumas, which is affecting the way we can carry out our work,".
He added that others were infected with diseases when they unearthed dead bodies from under the rubble without necessary precautions due to the lack of equipment.
PS. Don't expect EU or US to send any investigators there.
US Sol Gen #Prelogar, who argued on behalf of the #Biden admin: "the situation on the ground in #Idaho is showing the devastating consequences" of the conflict between #EMTALA & Idaho's #AbortionBan.
"One #hospital system in Idaho says that right now it's having to transfer #pregnant#women in #medical#crisis out of the state about once every other week. That's untenable & EMTALA does not countenance it."
#Ransomware gang starts leaking stolen #ChangeHealthcare data
Screenshots seen by Axios suggest hackers have stolen a trove of sensitive information, including patients' #hospital bills, financial documents and company contracts.
There's currently a countdown on RansomHub's dark-web leak site threatening to publish data on Friday.
Change Healthcare, provides billing support to #pharmacies and #insurers, has been cleaning up fallout from a ransomware attack since February. https://www.axios.com/2024/04/16/change-healthcare-data-leak-ransomware
A #Houston#hospital is investigating whether a #doctor altered a #transplant list to make his patients ineligible for care. A disproportionate number of them have died while waiting for new #organs.
#MemorialHermann-Texas Med Ctr in #Houston, where Bynon oversaw both liver & kidney #transplant prgs, abruptly shut those down in the past wk while looking into allegations.
Thurs, the #medical ctr, a UTexas teaching #hospital, said it had found evidence a #doctor in its liver transplant prg had effectively denied patients transplants by changing recs. Ofcls ID’d the dr as Bynon, who is employed by U #Texas#Health#Science Ctr & has lead Mem Hermann’s abdominal transplant prg since 2011.
…Ofcls began investigating after…a complaint. An analysis found what the #hospital called “irregularities” in how #patients were classified on a #WaitingList for liver #transplants. When #doctors place a patient on the list, they identify types of #donors they would consider, incl’g age & weight.
Hospital ofcls said they found patients had been listed as accepting only donors w/ages & weights that were impossible—for instance, a 300-lb toddler—making them unable to receive any transplant.
Coming across from #Stow, we passed the sight of the old mediaeval #hospital, the Soutra Aisle with a road sign on the road indicating Soutra Isle 🤣) one of the most important institutions in #medieval Scotland.
All that is left is a stone roofed building. Unfortunately the #bams have been at it and some of the information boards have been vandalised and torn away 😳.
"#Forensic Architecture has documented the mass displacement of Palestinian civilians being carried out by the Israeli #military [… which] has repeatedly abused the humanitarian measures of evacuation orders, ‘safe routes’, and ‘safe zones’, and failed to comply with the laws governing their application within a wartime context. These patterns of systematic violence and destruction have forced Palestinian civilians from one unsafe area to the next." https://forensic-architecture.org/investigation/humanitarian-violence-in-gaza@israel
The #IDF ground invasion in #KhanYounis has pushed Nasser and al-Amal hospitals out of service, in addition to al-Khair, the only hospital in the area inside a supposed ‘safe zone’.
One impact of COVID that we don’t talk about enough is how people are avoiding medical care because of lack of precautions like masking in healthcare settings. This doesn’t show up as COVID deaths or hospitalizations but delays in screening, diagnosis, and treatment increases the mortality rate of other diseases like cancer.
@luckytran Am in that situation right now. Trying to decide if I cancel an appointment because both doctor and #hospital refuse to say masking will be used because “it’s not required, you can wear your own” and “you can cancel if you want - it’s your choice”. Some choice. Give up #care or go and risk life-threatening #nosocomial infection. Level of ignorance in medical staff & med admin is astounding. #covid
Does anyone knows any decent international organization that can provide medical assistance for person with ASD and ARFID, granted that there's most likely a lot of stuff outside of ASD and ARFID issues? Or even charity international organizations that can help in situation with health issues and whatnot. Thank you.
A brand new Oxford University analysis has debunked #NHS privatisation.
Oxford researchers looked at studies of healthcare #privatisation and found they agreed on one thing: privatisation leads to poorer quality care for patients.
