Decades ago nurses and even doctors could spend some time by your bedside having a chat and just keeping you company. Now so many people are unhealthy and not taking care of themselves and there are doctor and nurse shortages all over the UK and North America. This makes attentive care nearly impossible.
What I notice now in hospitals also(I spend more time in them than at home) is the younger staff are simply not paying attention to anyone. I see pee bags leaking because they need to be emptied, nurses rushing about when they are placing IV lines in and extracting blood, patients pressing their call buttons are not being attended to because staff are sitting at their stations on their mobiles, and so on. The primary reason for all of this is mobile devices.
They are literally addicted to looking down at their devices. And for what? Is having a chat full of "ikr", "lol", "idk" really that pressing? I consider working to be a break from mobile devices. I don't find them to be relaxing at all. People always bothering you with their loud notifications also. Turn that shite off. Nobody cares about your "cute" notification sound. I even see staff bump into each other at times because of this serious distraction. I would laugh if it wasn't so serious.
Hospital staff should have to stow their mobiles and only get access to them during breaks, lunch, etc. They are as important as a driver of a vehicle and should not be distracted.
I know this comment isn't really related to the video except it's about hospital staff, but it reminded me of how understaffed and distracted our most important front line people are nowadays.
Add to this open borders and you have a looming disaster, especially with medical tourism. Imagine a plastic bag that can only hold say 30 pounds. If you reach that limit and keep adding more and more weight the bag is gonna rip wide open with it's contents falling to the ground. That is literally what is happening to the NHS at this very moment. It is even happening to Canada now. Remember, this episode is several years old now. Imagine a situation ten times worse now and you have the NHS today. This is the very real ugly side of socialized medicine. Doctors and nurses need to be paid more and there needs to be more of them. End of.
