It’s bad everywhere, but what’s scariest to me is the stories my girlfriend tells me about the hospitals she works in. She is a traveling radiographer and gets to visit some of the sketchier hospitals across the country. There seems to be a running theme of “we don’t have enough people” and a few bootlickers enabling it with working 90+ hour weeks. Every time you see in the news where a nurse accidentally screws something up, there is a running trail of them being over worked and short staffed.
They pay my gf 3-5 times what they pay their xray tech staff, AND pay her room and board, AND a huge percentage on top of that to the contract house. The ineptitude of your run of the mill hospital administration is just…scary.
I am hearing more and more stories like this that collectively add up to a very bleak picture of terminal institutional rot beneath a nanometer-thin facade
Also I live with one of those bootlickers and all their opinions are exactly as myopic, contrarian and self-aggrandizing as you would think

“I delivered a cost reduction of 21 cents per man hour to the shareholders, so my bonus is going up this year” type of thing?
