“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.
#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.
It was not clear what could have motivated Dr. Bynon to possibly tamper w/the records.…
…In recent yrs, a disproportionate number of #MemorialHermann patients have died while waiting for a liver, data shows. Last yr, 14 patients were taken off the center’s waiting list because they either died or became too #sick, & its mortality rate for people waiting for a #transplant was higher than expected, acc/to the Scientific Registry of #TransplantRecipients, a research grp.
• Lifting and turning is an essential nursing skill. We have some mechanical aids of vaying degrees of usefulness to assist. Pressure Area Care SAVES LIVES. ie it’s something we SHOULD do.
Or … the future you foresee is a cohort of poorly maintained robots (remember — even basic IT is an issue in the Healthcare setting) implementing the same protocol for turning the bariatric patient across the corridor and the 60kg old lady wracked with pain we’re palliating over here — in front of her grieving family?
Remember that protocol? The one derived from an incomplete cheap-ass unethically sourced data-set from a developer that’s out of business — distributed by the dude bros that bought them out? The only package that the insurance company and hospital board can afford — or even worse — the only game in town?
Better hold on to your hats — same hospital board’s getting heavily sued. The sterilisation units supposed to clean the lifting & turning robots ran out of detergent — MRSA across the whole ward. Oops?
• De-escalation a potentially violent situation is something I’m involved in all the time — as a Ward Nurse and Team Leader. Let me tell you the right techniques can work — when delivered by an empathetic and experienced Professional.
I’ll even play my cis-gendered grey-haired white male card if it gets the job done ^_~
We even have Hospital Security. Also, on a ward level we strategise and plan amongst our selves — and develop relationships with these patients and visitors — Real Time Human Intelligence.
Sorry/not sorry that my tone is a tad pointed:
The general public’s misunderstanding of what goes on in Health Care still blows me away. Mass Media and Social Media certainly don’t help.
I’m also disturbed by some underlying assumptions I see in dialogues like this —
• That “smart people” know better than us how to do our jobs — deeply rooted misogyny perhaps?
• That shoe-horning inappropriate — and dehumanising — technology into a field that needs more — not less humanity is some kind of inevitable solution.
I’m not dismissing AI in Healthcare per se. Some well implemented data-sets have become amazing diagnostic aids in the field of Neurology (my jam) alone.
I’m all for appropriate technology helping — not replacing — us fellow humans.
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 😳.
@Wen Thanks for highlighting the current state of the medieval hospital site.This article on medicinal plants at Kinloss Abbey also mentions the findings at Soutra: http://www.livingfield.co.uk/2022/06/
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.
