IT problems throw them curve balls they just dont need and the stress they are under becomes noticeable to me, i have never encoutered the amount of aggression and rudness in dealing with staff that i have in the health industry, theres no comparison and i've looked after blue collar factory workers who you would expect to be more rough around the edges, but no !<br />i find my job hard enough doing 12 hour shifts I"d dread doing the sort of shifts that hospital doctors doWaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13582374966270259947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25570835.post-36616109156978331552007-01-23T16:48:00.000+13:002007-01-23T16:48:00.000+13:00No - not onbesity related illness - death from med...No - not onbesity related illness - death from medical procedures. Here's some sobering stats for you:<br /><br />NZ Government stats for 1998 - Last year available:<br /><br />Associated with medical injury = 4,222<br />Highly preventable medical injury, all ages = 1,584<br />Adverse drug reactions = 1,524<br />Highly preventable adverse drug reaction = 669<br /><br />3,000 is a conservative statement for medical injury especially where under-reporting is the norm.Gary Mollerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12046982185323982734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25570835.post-7525314115490312002007-01-23T14:48:00.000+13:002007-01-23T14:48:00.000+13:00Hi Gary

As far as I am aware this procedure is not widely funded in the public hospitals and only small number are done in private. So perhaps you mean 3000 dead per year from obesity related illness? <br /><br />Although I am a health professional I have no vested interest in this surgical approach to weight loss. I agree whole heartedly that a multi-disciplined team approach is the best for weight loss<br /><br />Regards<br />RebeccaBeckyGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04452100034543920888noreply@blogger.com
