Another British Healthcare Horror Story

October 15, 2012 by Dan Mitchell

Paul Krugman assured us back in 2009 that, "In Britain, the government itself runs the hospitals and employs the doctors. We've all heard scare stories about how that works in practice; these stories are false."

If that?s the case, then the British press is filled with liars who deliberately make up horror stories about their nation?s healthcare system, as you can see here, here, here,?here,?here,?here,?here,?here,?here,?here, here and?here.

We now have another nightmare to add to this list. Here are some of the horrific details from the UK-based Daily Mail.

An elderly woman died alone after doctors failed to tell relatives they were ending her life on the controversial Liverpool Care Pathway. Olive Goom, 85, passed away with no one by her side after medics neglected to consult with her family about her treatment at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. ?As Miss Goom lay dying alone, staff reassured relatives on the phone just hours before her death that there was no urgent need to visit "? even though doctors had already removed tubes providing vital food and fluids. Her family discovered that she had died only when her niece went to visit her and found she was already being prepared for the mortuary. They said last night that they will never be able to stop feeling guilty that no one was there in her final hours. The Mail has been contacted by several families who claim that relatives were put on the Liverpool Care Pathway "? the controversial system designed to ease the suffering of the dying in their final hours "? without any consultation. Some said they found out that their relatives were on the pathway only after they happened to read their medical notes; and by that time it was too late.

Keep in mind, by the way, that the Liverpool Care Pathway is sort of akin to the IPAB ?death panel? in Obamacare.

Defenders of government-run healthcare say that?s nonsense and assert that there won?t be any rationing, denial of care, or requirements for euthanasia. That?s technically true, but the Obamacare death panel will be determining what?s an acceptable treatment and what?s the government-approved payment schedule.

Crushed by Obamacare?

So it?s sort of like holding a rock in your hand, standing over a kitten, letting go of the rock, watching it hit the kitten, but then claiming that you did nothing wrong because gravity caused the rock to fall.

Okay, that?s a morbid example, but you get the point. And my concern isn?t that rationing only exists with a government-run system. Any healthcare system will involve rationing. The real issue is whether individuals are part of a free society so they can make the choice of how to ration.

[...] But seriously, read this? [...]

In the absence of facts from the hospital, together with the fact that the Daily Mail provides some of the most sensationalist headlines ? (hence why it is the most visited online media in the UK) ? I would advise caution in any conclusions you might reach.

Reblogged this on Gds44's Blog.

How hard is for people to understand that the guiding principle is going to be: ?The Needs of the Many, Not the Needs of the Few or the One??

Yeah, Captain Spock said that in the second Star Trek film. That?s still the easiest way to sum up what IPAB is going to be doing. Stark utilitarianism like that is not exactly easy to cope with on a mass social level?

Commenter Mike,

Did you actually read the article from the Daily Mail? A spokeswoman for the hospital admitted that they did, in fact, put the woman on the pathway procedure without advising her family. Additionally, the health secretary Andy Burnham called for an urgent review of the pathway operations.

So there is no absence of facts from the hospital.

FIIs pump over Rs 10,000 cr in stocks in two weeks | Firstpost

Mumbai: Foreign institutional investors poured in over Rs 10,000 crore in the stock market this month so far enthused by reforms initiatives taken by the government to boost economic growth and investor sentiment.

During October 1-12, overseas investors were gross buyers of shares worth Rs 30,605 crore, while they sold equities amounting to Rs 20,223 crore ? translating into net inflow of Rs 10,382 crore ($2 billion), as per data available with market regulator Sebi.

Foreign Institutional Investors? (FIIs) investment in the country?s equity market has reached Rs 92,713 crore ($17.84 billion) so far this year. Market experts believe that FIIs continued their bullish stance on the equity market on account of recent reform initiatives taken by the government and expect the inflows to continue in the coming months. ?The inflows into domestic equity continued on the government?s reform measures and I hope it will continue in the coming months as well,? Wellindia Vice President Research Vivek Negi said.

He further said foreign investors are optimistic on India as inflation has stabilised which may prompt the RBI to cut interest rates soon. Apart from equities, FIIs also infused Rs 1,273 crore in the debt market so far this month. Meanwhile, the BSE?s benchmark Sensex slipped by 87 points, or 0.5 per cent, so far this month to settle at 18,675.18 points on Friday. As on October 12, the number of registered FIIs in the country stood at 1,752 and total number of sub-accounts were at 6,336.

UBS May Cut Thousands of IT Jobs, Says Report

UBS AG (UBS) is planning further cost cutting measures which could threaten thousands of jobs worldwide, particularly in its information technology operation, the TagesAnzeiger reported Saturday.

Switzerland's largest bank, as measured by market cap, is planning to reduce costs at its information technology division from around 3.6 billion Swiss francs ($3.8 billion) per year now to CHF2.4 billion by 2015, it reported, citing people familiar with the plans.

"In principle we don't comment on such speculation, and we haven't yet concluded our business plans for 2013 and the following years," UBS chief executive Sergio Ermotti said in a statement Saturday. "Only when the final decisions have been made, and the next steps decided on, will we make them public," Mr. Ermotti said.

UBS currently employs around 8,200 information technology specialists, including 3,200 in Switzerland, and the job cuts will come as business volumes are reduced, it reports. The planned cost cuts are in addition to the measures announced by UBS in August 2011, when it said it will have to eliminate about 3,500 jobs worldwide, TagesAnzeiger said.

The report comes as banks worldwide have announced thousands of layoffs over the past year as a weak trading and deal making climate, together with more stringent regulations, have whittled away at profits and dragged on revenue growth.

Swiss private bank Julius Baer Group AG (BAER.VX) Tuesday said it will cut about 1,000 jobs globally as it integrates the wealth management unit it acquired from Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

Credit Suisse Group (CS) said earlier this month it will lay off 78 staff in the New York region as part of the plan outlined last year to pare its global headcount by 7%, or about 3,500 jobs. The firm, which has 48,200 employees, according to its website, previously said it had completed 2,000 of those layoffs by the end of March.
