The poor I.T. guys - that was part of my job once and I can say that when things are going well, no one notices and when they aren't no one is happy. Be sure to give them some love when the thing gets up and running again.
The term Sister goes back when hospitals were ran& staffed by nuns. I was born & raised' went to nursing school at Saint Joseph Hospital in Fort Worth Tx in 74
It's cases like this that reinforce why I will never subscribe to the claim that putting everything online and run by computers makes things easier and more convenient. Oh sure, it's great when it's all working but when one little bit goes wrong, everything falls into absolute chaos because its all too interconnected. This is why I don't believe the idea of a totally paperless office will ever happen.
I was thinking here everyone is in a hurry or make you feel like you’re a burden to be seen . Let’s not forget the ones that profile you by how you dress and think you’re not caring for your children right and try taking them from you . Even if you tell them the medical conditions your child has . They think you’re lying
Yeah, here in the US, patients are certainly _not_ treated equally. You are indeed profiled… & how much they do for you as far as medical care/treatment can vary upon what coverage you have (uninsured, Medicare, Private insurance)!
Sisters are kind of senior nurses. When you qualify as a nurse, you become a 'staff nurse' at band 5. Once you're more experienced, you have the option to apply for a 'sister' role at band 6 - it's more senior and comes with more responsibility and management roles. Think the title is probably outdated but is still used. Hope this helps!
Not everyone is seeing the true side of the nhs. It's in chaos, with a long waiting list for a long time in waiting rooms, people laying on the floor, they are only showing what they want people to see.
@@ianriggs no instead 20% of your income goes to someone else taking a ride in one in the UK. It’s literal theft. By the way, the average cost of an ambulance transport in the U.S. is $1200. The average cost in the UK? $940 to $1277 per ride. 🤡
@@PandaMom9230 they have to pay for it in the UK more so - up to 20% of income. At that rate, 1 year at same income over there would be equal to nearly 5 years of visits here - and I have zero wait time to see a specialist in the U.S.
@@arudiga How fortunate for you that you have insurance that'll approve your visit to a specialist. And what freaking specialty is so underused that they're sitting around twiddling their thumbs waiting for you to call for an immediate appointment? And how much, pray tell are your premiums? I left the US when my husband retired and I had to have a COBRA policy. At $2000 a month, truly highway robbery. Now, in another country, Mine is $1200 a year for excellent coverage.
All of the Health care providers are Amazing people. Such care and compassion you just don't see everywhere 😊❤
Volunteer Jane cracks me up. Shes got my respect for all she does, especially im assuming not getting paid for any of it. Great lady

Dave is super cool and great at his job.
Poor June. She is a carer? Somebody needs to be caring for her :(

That's what they said about the telephone. Patients are safer with all records being accessible with a few keystrokes.
When the computers go down you go back to doing things the old way. Charting everything on paper. It slows things down but it works just fine.
This is actually why I unbundled phone/internet/cable. A problem with one undoes everything and it's a nightmare to fix.
I wish the US had NHS these people are all so compassionate
Would you want to wait a long time for surgery?
@@gisellep177 Maybe so we don’t go bankrupt because health care is treated as a commodity rather than a basic right?
@@alethiaingram8381 I absolutely agree with you. We need better over here.
@@smugandsmarmyno one is denied healthcare in the U.S. silly.
@@arudiga I never said that. 🤷🏻♀️
what are the positions of the nurses who are labeled “sister”? Are they shift charge nurses? Are there any male nurses labeled as “brothers”?
Sister's are registered nurses. I think the name stems from the old days when nurses were only women. And no they don't call male nurses brother.
Concerning that IT outage. What will happen when electricity goes down for all of us when the Sun or a World War targets our reliance on electricity?

Everyone in the U.S. is treated equally regardless of your socioeconomic status and with better response time.
@@arudiga wrong.

Why are some of the workers called "Sisters"?

The lady with the black tongue ... was it thrush? I have had that from antibiotics.
The Dr answered that
Mine went just like that on steroid treatment
ive had that too.
Yes
Drinking wine and/or tea can cause that too.
Fungus tongue 🤢🫣

Nothing is perfect, but im assuming you dont get 3,000 dollar bills just for the ambulance ride over there

That’s happening in the US too. Only difference is we have to pay for it.

One of my daughters got geographical tongue. She had it for a few years.
I had that black tongue too, it ended up swelling. I had esophageal canidiasis.

Nurses and Doctors in the UsA are rude
Gross
“He decided to fall off the ladder.” 🙄 Thank goodness I am in the U.S., UK health care looks like a mess.
US is a mess as well. Just a different kind of mess.
Yeah, I heard that remark too, about him deciding to fall off a ladder.
It's dark humor I think 😂
@@sireorcry British humor. They pride themselves on sarcasm and snark.
@@m2hmghbexactly! Well said
Brush your teeth
It’s candidiasis don’t be rude.
Brushing her teeth was not the problem. Taking the antibiotics led to a fungal infection in her mouth. Don't be so mean.
