    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

  2. 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.

  8. 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.

  12. Tell your MP: take action & end NHS corridor care

    In #hospitals across the country, #NHS patients are being forced to wait for treatment in #corridors, waiting rooms, queuing #ambulances or even store cupboards.

    Corridor care poses huge risks to the #health of patients, as well as the #safety of NHS staff

    Thousands of preventable deaths are caused each year by long A&E waits before admission to a ward.

  14. The Listener Will See You Now

    Ambient AI now records the conversation at the hospital bed and the exam table. The microphone is optional, for the moment. The receptionist slid a tablet across the counter and asked, in the bright tone reserved for upgrades, whether I would consent to let the clinic "AI Listen" to the appointment. Percy and Lotty, The Boles Brits, were already complaining inside their carrier, due for the rabies shots the state requires. The pitch was efficiency. The software would listen to my conversation with the veterinarian, transcribe it, and "ambient scribe" the care notes so the doctor could spend less time typing and more time with the animals. I declined. There was a checkbox for that, which I noted with the small relief of a man who has read the next paragraph before signing the first. […]

  15. #Video - What Happens When US Citizens Defy Cuba Policy? | Medea Benjamin Responds
    peertube.world/w/hDBEgfUgfdq36
    Duration - 13:19

    [from #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    What happens when a US citizen tries to deliver #HumanitarianAid to #Cuba and criticizes the US government’s economic war on #Cuba?

    That was what Medea Benjamin did, and now the US government is investigating and intimidating her.

    Last March, #MedeaBenjamin, co-founder of #CodePink, traveled to Cuba as part of the #NuestraAmericaConvoy, amid a devastating economic crisis brought about by #US sanctions and an #oil #blockade designed to choke the island.

    She came to bring food, medicines, especially to the children’s #hospitals, where the maximum pressure sanctions are killing babies.

    Medea explains to BotB what the investigations really are, how she was saved by Cuban #doctors, why #HasanPiker's reach made him a target and why this won’t stop the #solidarity towards Cuba.
