Balancing Medical Ethics and Legal Risks in Texas

The amount of misinterpretation of the instructions implemented in Waikato Hospital is a sad indictment on the comprehension levels of many people combined with poorly worded media coverage of the issue.

My sister is a senior (~50 years experience) nurse who works in a large public hospital in Auckland. She has on numerous occasions over the past few years raised the fears and frustrations she is experiencing during her working day of immigrant nurses who struggle with English medical terminology and persist in talking between themselves in their native tongues in clinical and bedside situations. The hospital department where she works has instructed nurses to speak in English during their work, with non-English conversations tolerated in social surroundings such as in the canteen.

The language used by health professionals is often highly technical and specialised in order for rapid and precise transferral of patient's afflictions and treatment regimes. There is no place for miscommunications and misinterpretation of vital signs, nature of injuries or disease symptoms and/or pharmaceutical regimes is not an option as this can easily result in life threatening situations.

Comments being bandied around accusing Waikato Hospital of racism and failure of patient care levels are totally out of line. Where communications with patients are compromised due to lack of English skills interpreters are employed to allow full evaluation of their health issues and this is ongoing and not due to change but the large numbers of immigrant nurses now present in our health system is making for difficulties for senior staff and even NZ trained junior nurses as communications are tested by the prevalence of E2L staff members in their workplace.

Its been happening for some time now.

This was rumoured for a while now but now its confirmed.
Im not sure how this will play out and/or if it will escalate the situation there, but its safe to say that North Korean soldiers will likely not be very useful to the Russians.
I think it tells us how desperate Putin is to take this measure, I also expect a good amount to surrender to Ukraine too.

This at last might be some good competition for AMD, will wait and see.

The booster landing of starship went down to textbook accuracy, just catching up on the livestream now.

Which oddly is somewhat similar to this present one...

The man is a raving lunatic, & brutal with it. How anyone with a functioning brain can swallow his utterings is beyond belief.


He claims that if elected, he will immediately begin 'operation Aurora' (which I suspect he'd be unable to spell) to remove 'illegal alien gangs' from America. And he wants the death pe\nalty for any migrant who kills an American citizen.'
Very interesting way of implying that the life of an American is somehow of a higher value than that of an 'illegal alien'...
