  4. We have fact sheets for many health conditions. Why isn’t there one for ‘What to do on the day your loved one dies’? | Ranjana Srivastava
    By Ranjana Srivastava

    The best doctors understand something that is easy to lose in the machinery of a hospital: death does not turn a person into an administrative task

  5. So Japan is trying something to help boost cybersecurity for #hospitals. According to The Japan News:

    "Medical institutions have faced challenges when implementing effective cybersecurity measures as there are multiple IT vendors for different medical devices. This means that facilities have to maintain numerous network connections linking their systems to the outside world.

    To address this, the ministry will provide subsidies to hospitals that consolidate their external connection points, simplifying monitoring and allowing for systems to be isolated faster in the event of an attack."

    The govt will also dispatch cybersecurity experts in the event of a cyberattack.

  11. Video - U.S. Sabotages Cuba’s Hospitals — Then Calls Universal Healthcare a Failure
    peertube.world/w/vNxwt6wKcW8Fq
    Duration - 1:47

    [a #video on #Peertube about #Cuba from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    U.S. Rep. Carlos Giménez (R-FL) says Cuba’s healthcare system “sucks” and “doesn’t work,” pointing to hospitals without #medicine and deteriorating conditions.

    But this criticism leaves out a major part of the story: the policies Giménez has championed are the reason why Cuba’s #hospitals are collapsing. #US #EconomicWarfare has restricted Cuba’s ability to obtain medicines, #medical equipment, fuel and other resources needed to keep its #healthcare system running.

  12. "The hospitals’ collapse illustrates what can go wrong in a state that largely relies on — and subsidizes — the #private sector to run so-called safety-net #hospitals, whose leaders have long complained they make little to no money serving vulnerable patients. That’s a balancing act set to become even more difficult with looming federal cuts to #Medicaid, a main income source for those hospitals."

  13. From yesterday, at Saanich Peninsula ER.
    Poor public health management on a poster. Surgical masks are better than no masks but they're not strong enough protection against airborne contagious illnesses. If people wait for symptoms to start wearing masks in hospitals - it's already too late. Many airborne contagious illnesses are asymptomatic so people who don't feel sick/look physically sick are still more than able to infect others. Stop the fast public spread of more contagious airborne illnesses by wearing at least an KN95 or N95 mask in every medical setting & anywhere you're indoors with a bunch of strangers.

  15. Peterborough hospital gets a 1.8% funding increase. Its costs are going up over 6% a year. The Ford government is hacking away at vital acute hospital services despite its promises to end hallway healthcare and clear the surgical wait lists.
